Manufacturing environments
are highly dynamic and are
subject to different disruptions
such as breakdowns, cancelled
and rushed orders that affect
overall performance of industrial
equipment.
There is little spare capacity,
so unscheduled maintenance
and failures must be avoided as
they can create a logistical and
financial nightmare.
In our latest case study we
show how our client Stork Diary
Systems overcomes these
challenges with the help of the
custom designed transducer,
providing huge savings to their
customers.
Over the course of the KTP
and the Collaborative R&D, a
36-month period, the developed
CBPM strategy has successfully
predicted and prevented 24
significant breakdowns.
This number may not seem like
a lot, but taking into account
that breakdowns of filling
drivelines typically takes 3-5
days to repair, causing a loss of
production cost of £350K a day,
the system provided savings in
excess of £33 million.
