Glass Production
Unexpected shutdowns are costly and very demanding for the workforce involved. Make your glass production critical assets smart in order to increase the availability.
Today most often technical data sheets coupled with the knowledge of a number of unique experienced individuals are used to determine when maintenance is required for an asset. Product quality only becomes an issue when customers start complaining. Repairs are done when it's already far too late. All of this puts tremendous strain on the people responsible for the production line, while it can be avoided, quite easily.
The only way to validate the actual health of crucial assets is by having a continuous look at a broad data set and adding a specific multi-aspect monitoring setup consisting of different sensor types that follow the behaviour of critical components and the general state-of-health of the asset.
