Use Case 2: Maintenance

Task

Companies often do not have a plant-wide alarm and maintenance management system. As a result, maintenance cannot be planned at defined intervals. Immediately occurring malfunctions cannot be reported directly to the maintenance personnel. This results in avoidable downtimes, which are associated with high costs.

Solution

• installation of an edge device on each machine
  • networking of the devices among each other
  • connection of the necessary signals
• machine-related recording of alarms and running times
• integration of mobile devices
• detection and evaluation of error frequencies

Result

• direct forwarding of faults to maintenance personnel
• better planning of maintenance intervals
• minimization of downtimes through preventive maintenance
• increase of productivity
