Hosokawa Micron latest, machine to machine (M2M) remote monitoring initiative can help manufacturers monitor industrial plant and equipment to deliver production cost savings, improve product quality and equipment performance and predict potential equipment failure enabling timely and efficient preventative maintenance.
Utilising condition monitoring that monitors data 24/7 from key sensors on processing equipment, combined with specialist analytical software to manage the data from site-based measurements, a series of automatic alerts can be established to site personnel or remote technical support teams in the event of data presenting outside preset, optimal equipment running parameters.
Mobile app technology (Android/iOS) provides real-time displays, alarms and guided workflows for diagnosing and troubleshooting the cause of out of limits data enabling prompt remedial action, which is key to getting the best performance possible from existing plant and equipment and importantly generating a rapid return on investment.
A ‘proof of concept’ system is in operation at Hosokawa Micron’s Runcorn, toll processing plant, for manufacturers keen to see for themselves the benefits that remote monitoring can offer.
