iConn ensures you remain competitive
Together with an increase in competition, demands on manufacturing companies are also growing. Production machines would have to run without interruption to satisfy the high demand from markets.
In practice, however, it is not possible to achieve one hundred per cent capacity utilisation of production facilities. Certain maintenance cycles are required to ensure that product quality does not deteriorate and unexpected damage to machines is avoided.
But at what intervals do you have to carry out maintenance?
This is exactly where proactive maintenance with iConn comes into play! Today, manufacturers must become more active in the areas of software and services. The Internet of Things (IoT) helps you to remain competitive in the future.
Proactive maintenance, also known as Predictive Maintenance (PM), is an important core aspect in the implementation of IoT in a company, which should undoubtedly be included in your planning process.
The IoT Journey shows you which steps an IoT campaign has to go through to gradually minimise maintenance costs and other losses.
The 4 steps of the IoT Journey
1. Reactive
The starting point of the IoT Journey relates to the old service model, where maintenance intervention only occurred when it was already too late. As soon as a part is found to be defective, the service team, based on little feedback, are contacted and the time consuming process of a providing a solution begins.
2. Networked
IoT networked devices communicate with each other and send selected data to the machine operator, hence the condition of the plant can be better assessed. Intervention by the service teams is less frequently required, and if they are needed, the definitive issue or problem can be determined by remote diagnosis.
3. Analysed
From this point on, proactive maintenance begins with Smart Compressor Monitoring iConn. Through the analysis of the collected data, valuable conclusions can be drawn. Indicators like operating time and component wear clearly show the service technician when the next maintenance interval is due.
4. Optimised
At its core, the entire IoT Journey revolves around just one topic, namely optimisation. Before IoT, the first plans for prototypes were usually based on the rough requirements of customers and certain empirical values. Increasing networking makes it possible to monitor real-time data and information on a component with the developers knowing definitively, which properties to focus on.
Real-time Industry 4.0 solutions deliver major benefits to compressed air users
Digitally networking the components of a compressed air system (e.g. compressor, filter, dryer etc) can minimise costs and increase the availability of the system.
