The idea behind Notify was to first inform operators and technicians ad-hoc about machine problems so that they could react more quickly, and secondly to create transparency about the production location in order to gain business-critical insights from machine data.
✕ Lack of real-time monitoring & reactive maintenance
Without a proactive monitoring system, equipment failures were detected too late, resulting in costly repairs and production interruptions.
✕ Overloaded with data and analytics
Operators had difficulty manually interpreting large amounts of machine data, making it difficult to identify performance trends and potential improvements.
✕ Inconsistent operational performance between machines
Differences in performance between the various grinding machines made it difficult to standardize operations and optimize processes at several locations.
