Predictive maintenance on machining equipment
The equipment was breaking down indefinitely, which was leading to downtime and expensive maintenance.
Through the analysis of data collected over a three-month period, we developed a real-time degradation indicator.
The solution allows the simple identification of equipment that requires maintenance so that failures and unscheduled shutdowns are avoided.
Results:
50% reduction in equipment maintenance expenses
Increased equipment life-span from 4500 to 8000 hours
Reduced engineer monitoring time from 4 hours to 5 minutes
