Infinite Uptime

The calendar machine run by a motor has a shaft mounted gearbox connected to the roller. This gearbox allows maximum paper load and feeds the paper with reduced speed to the roller. In spite of scheduled preventive maintenance, it was observed that gearbox used to fail frequently. The rise in vibrations leading to the eventual failure of gearbox adversely affected the quality of the paper. Monitoring the gearbox was thus vital and critical.

The major press line in the company has a circular saw machine which cuts metal rods with precision in predefined lengths for further heating in the furnace. The cut pieces are then fed to the forging line to make automotive components. The length and perpendicularity of the cut pieces are crucial to obtain a good quality forging.It was observed that circular saw failed to maintain the precise length and perpendicularity while cutting the metal rods leading to heavy rejections. This was a serious concern and routine preventive maintenance was unable to overcome it.

The 1000 Ton main forging press had a 75 HP motor and fed a trimming machine. The motor pulley combination was situated on top of the Press at a height of about 15 feet thereby reducing its access for routine maintenance. The company found difficulty ensuring constant uptime of the Press.

Senseye is the leading cloud-based software for Predictive Maintenance. It helps manufacturers avoid downtime and save money by automatically forecasting machine failure without the need for expert manual analysis. Its intelligent machine-learning algorithms allow it to be used on any machine from any manufacturer, taking information from existing Industrial IoT sensors and platforms to automatically diagnose failures and provide the remaining useful life of machinery.

MachineMetrics is the authority on real-time manufacturing analytics. When we started MachineMetrics, we identified undeniable gaps in current manufacturing processes: a lack of real-time production visibility and a lack of communication between machine operators and their managers. Roughly 50% of US companies admitting to not having a systematic roadmap toward Digital Manufacturing solutions nor automation and over 90% of companies have yet to attempt to integrate solutions to date. Many companies have attempted to develop solutions for this problem but it had yet to be truly solved. We spoke with 100+ manufacturers to gather their feedback on why these solutions did not fit their needs and how it could be designed better.MachineMetrics was thus created; an IIoT manufacturing analytics and machine monitoring platform to help companies visualize where they stand now and overcome the challenges along the Digital Transformation journey to advance forward from reactivity, to proactivity, and to predictivity. Our fully automated machine monitoring solution provides visualizations of real-time manufacturing production data, instant notifications, as well as historical analytics, allowing factory workers to make faster, smarter, more confident decisions based on real-time data.We've simplified IoT for the shop floor and are empowering manufacturers to develop their roadmap toward manufacturing excellence with the easiest to use and simplest to integrate software on the market. MachineMetrics is driving manufacturing efficiency by more than 20% on average for our customers and we are proud to be developing the future of manufacturing alongside them.
