Coated Paper Manufacturer Cuts Downtime by 11% in Month One with GENiE
Industry: Coated Paper
Challenges in Coated Paper Manufacturing:
- Frequent downtime due to aging machines.
- Existing legacy control systems have no further support.
- Complicated troubleshooting process and no root cause analysis.
Smart Monitoring Solutions:
- Installed GENiE Edge for data collection and analysis from legacy control systems.
- Installed additional sensors for data collection to enable accurate predictive failures.
- Fast deployment of GENiE solution with minimal downtime (i.e. within 30 days).
Outcome:
- Data collection made possible with legacy systems without upgrading the control system.
- Reduce downtime by 11% in the first month of implementation. Enabled predictive maintenance with GENiE.
- Able to monitor machine performance/efficiency remotely. Customers receive critical alerts and automated shift report.
Business Impact: Predictive Alerts, Remote Monitoring, and Root Cause Analysis:
Understand both legacy and new technology to be able to deploy with minimum disruption.
Customers have better control over the machine with data collected and analysed by GENiE.
Provide support to ensure continuous improvement of the system.
