Client: FIBRO GmbH is a leading manufacturer in the toolmaking industry, specializing in standard components and rotary tables.
Challenge: FIBRO sought to enhance the quality, performance, and efficiency of their rotary tables by leveraging analytics and IoT technology. The objective was to develop a platform capable of preventing unforeseen malfunctions and improving maintenance. Key concerns included:
- Wear of bearings
- Unbalanced load
- Low consumables
- Overload
- Crashes
Solution: SSI partnered with FIBRO to design and implement a state-of-the-art solution tailored to their needs. The solution comprised:
- Advanced Sensors: Installed across the rotary tables to capture real-time data on key operational parameters.
- Data Aggregation Hub: A Sensor Box consolidates data from all sensors and transmits it to the Data Acquisition (DAQ) Board.
- Intelligent Analysis: The DAQ Board processes and stores data after each rotation, enabling the detection of irregularities.
- Web-Based Analytics Dashboard: A user-friendly application that visualizes data, providing FIBRO’s team with actionable insights and enabling proactive maintenance.
This integrated platform allows FIBRO to anticipate potential issues, ensure uninterrupted operations, and extend the lifespan of its rotary tables.
Result: FIBRO’s clients can now monitor and maintain the health of their rotary tables in real time. Implementing predictive analytics into their operations has significantly reduced the risk of unexpected breakdowns, leading to lower maintenance costs and improved overall productivity.
