KEY FACTS
Project Overview
Prediction of malfunctions
Thanks to various AI processes, malfunctions can be predicted before they can affect production or even cause shutdowns.
Proactive customer service
Based on the predicted malfunctions, Customer Service receives advance notification so that remote maintenance, parts replacement, or machine maintenance can be arranged in good time. The customer benefits from the new planning reliability as well as saving the time and cost that would have been involved in the laborious reentry of stored machine settings after an unplanned shutdown.
Automated data analysis
The specially developed IoT-based service process collects large volumes of data from various sensors and processes these with great efficiency. Rule mining and machine learning processes can establish normal patterns from all this data, detect deviations, and allow the right conclusions to be drawn.
