General description
Both, plant control and operation in modern industrial companies are usually very complex. Many
work steps are automated and performed by robots. In this automated environment, the price
of an error is very high, as it can lead to damage to several products at the same time and expensive
production interruptions. Incalculable reactive maintenance of their equipment can be
difficult for companies to afford. Maintenance intervals are cost-intensive, but without
maintenance the probability of failure increases significantly. However, machine parts with high
wear and tear can be detected and quickly replaced or repaired.
In this context, modern companies demand not only real-time monitoring and analysis of problems, but also
a direct answer to the question "When and where will the next undesirable event or irregularity occur
and how can we remedy it?" It's all about nothing less than future-proof predictive operation of
machines and systems while reducing downtime and maintenance costs.
Solution overview
Compared to Operational Analytics, which deals with monitoring and alerting, Predictive Maintenance
analyzes historical data with the aim of making forecasts of critical operational events. Thus,
our "Predictive Maintenance" solution is an intelligent, future-oriented extension to "Operational Analytics".
Using modern data mining and machine learning methods, the data is prepared, correlated and classified.
Predictive models are trained and validated. The tested and validated models are then published accordingly
as cloud services and made available to end users and IT systems. At the end of this chain, each company
receives a model-based forecast of errors and failures, predictions of useful life and operating and
maintenance times. In addition, concrete advice is given on the most critical wear parts.
We regard our Predictive Maintenance solution as an integral part of the production cycle of companies.
It monitors material conditions and makes recommendations for maintenance and repair work on industrial
plants and their components.
Your benefits
Our solution significantly increases the efficiency of production processes in companies. Downtimes
and production stops are minimized and the availability of production facilities is maximized. This
increases the quality of work and saves maintenance costs. We make your plants smarter and more durable,
ready for the future!
