[Case Study Materials] Food Factory Edition
Solving common issues in food factories. Utilizing IoT predictive maintenance to avoid the chaos of sudden equipment stoppages and ensure on-time delivery!
This is an example of the effects of introducing the IoT service 'OMNl edge' to a food factory, which visualizes the current state numerically by simply attaching sensors to parts and realizes predictive detection. "In the packaging process, there are environments where paper dust is present, which can cause guides to break within about a year due to dust. Failures that lead to balls falling off must be avoided as they can result in foreign matter contamination. Is there a way to know the state as soon as possible?" This and other concerns can be resolved. 【Contents】 ■ Concern 1: The surrounding environment during food processing is a factor in guide breakage! ■ Concern 2: High frequency of guide replacements in environments with paper dust ■ Countermeasures with OMNIedge! ■ Effect image ■ What is OMNIedge? *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.
basic information
【Effect Image】 <Inventory Cost> ■ No need to hold excess inventory! - Uncertainty about when it will break → Keep sufficient quantities of relevant equipment just in case - Planned maintenance possible → Hold necessary quantities based on the condition of parts <Unexpected Costs> ■ Prevent unexpected shutdowns and ensure on-time delivery! - Unexpected shutdown → Request repairs from equipment manufacturers + losses due to delays - Planned shutdown → None, or about 1/3 of unexpected 【Features】 ■ Collect and analyze the condition of parts with the THK SENSING SYSTEM ■ Notify responsible personnel of any abnormalities in parts via email ■ Improve maintenance efficiency through visualization of parts condition ■ Achieve reduction in inventory management costs and increase equipment utilization rates ■ Support smooth execution of production plans ■ Comprehensive support for Before/After ■ No selection time required as it uses dedicated sensors/dedicated amplifiers ■ No time required for analysis as algorithms are established in-house ■ Top-level safety in both communication and cloud aspects ■ No need for integration with internal networks, suitable for low-cost small starts ■ No need to change the contracted communication provider *For more details, please refer to the PDF materials or feel free to contact us.
