Challenge	The ROTHENBERGER Group, a world-leading pipe tool and pipe machining tool manufacturer, was facing challenges in monitoring their assets. They were using traditional tower lights and 24V controls provided by the machine vendors, which did not offer accurate visibility and full transparency into the production floor. As part of their transition to the industry 4.0 era, ROTHENBERGER was seeking a solution that would provide reliable and trustworthy visibility into their production processes. They needed a system that could provide real-time status of machine availability across their factories and highlight major gaps in productivity. The goal was to address and resolve these gaps through data-driven decision making. Read More

Solution	ROTHENBERGER chose the 3d Signals Asset Performance Monitoring (APM) solution to address their challenges. The APM solution was gradually installed on selected critical assets starting from August 2020. This system provided ROTHENBERGER with accurate and real-time status of machine availability across their factories. Unlike their previous solution, 3d Signals highlighted major gaps in productivity. Once these gaps were identified, they were addressed and resolved through data-driven decision making. The implementation of the 3d Signals APM solution resulted in an average machine availability increase of 28% within four months of installation. The system also enabled ROTHENBERGER to maximize its utilization of existing resources and increase company turnover. Read More Log in to view content

Solution

ROTHENBERGER chose the 3d Signals Asset Performance Monitoring (APM) solution to address their challenges. The APM solution was gradually installed on selected critical assets starting from August 2020. This system provided ROTHENBERGER with accurate and real-time status of machine availability across their factories. Unlike their previous solution, 3d Signals highlighted major gaps in productivity. Once these gaps were identified, they were addressed and resolved through data-driven decision making. The implementation of the 3d Signals APM solution resulted in an average machine availability increase of 28% within four months of installation. The system also enabled ROTHENBERGER to maximize its utilization of existing resources and increase company turnover.

Impact #1	The implementation of the 3d Signals APM solution brought significant operational benefits to ROTHENBERGER. The newly acquired visibility into the production processes revealed an enormous unutilized manufacturing potential. When a customer placed a random purchase order, the decision to proceed was made easy by examining the 3d Signals reports of the milling machines. The reports showed that they could meet the new purchase order requirements and lead time by simply reducing idle downtime with existing resources. This data-driven decision-making process enabled ROTHENBERGER to maximize its utilization of existing resources and increase company turnover.
