The Challenge

The major press line in the company has a circular saw machine which cuts metal rods with precision in predefined lengths for further heating in the furnace. The cut pieces are then fed to the forging line to make automotive components. The length and perpendicularity of the cut pieces are crucial to obtain a good quality forging.

It was observed that circular saw failed to maintain the precise length and perpendicularity while cutting the metal rods leading to heavy rejections. This was a serious concern and routine preventive maintenance was unable to overcome it.

About The Customer

A world’s leading forging Company headquartered in Pune, having a global workforce of 10 Thousand. A major contributor to the automotive industry with more than five decades of expertise.

The Solution

INDUSTRIAL DATA ENABLER installed on the gearbox near the Circular Saw Cutter monitored the tri-axial vibrations, temperature, and acoustics in real-time. Its edge technology analyzed the vibration data and notified the production and maintenance personnel the instant the vibrations exceeded a set limit. The IDE captured the vibrations from the gearbox of the circular saw cutter.

Data Collected

Vibration

Operational Impact

[Efficiency Improvement - Asset Monitoring]
The system can generate the vibration plot of the cutter and when it exceeded the set limit. Alarms are raised through email and SMS.

Smart Water Filtration Systems

Before working with Ayla Networks, Ozner was already using cloud connectivity to identify and solve water-filtration system malfunctions as well as to monitor filter cartridges for replacements.But, in June 2015, Ozner executives talked with Ayla about how the company might further improve its water systems with IoT technology. They liked what they heard from Ayla, but the executives needed to be sure that Ayla’s Agile IoT Platform provided the security and reliability Ozner required.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers

For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
