Introduction

Lombarda S.p.A. is a company specialising in the production of concrete products for the construction industry, offering reliable, high-quality solutions for infrastructure, residential and industrial construction and civil engineering works.

The problem

Currently, the process of managing and controlling production and maintaining machinery and equipment is carried out manually. In particular, the production manager directly records key production parameters, such as timing and productivity, but also problems, errors and maintenance requirements that may arise during the production processes.

The solution

The proposed solution allows the company to automatically collect process data through connectivity between the machines and an information system, enabling real-time monitoring of machine performance and operating status.

Technologies

Sensors and revamping solutions for machinery required for automatic detection of production and maintenance parameters.

Digital platform for real-time monitoring and control of production and maintenance.

Impacts

The interconnection of the systems enables automated communication between the machines and the information system.

Production is optimised by correctly planning production orders according to machine availability and operating status.

The maintenance process is now characterised by a strategic approach: the company can assess the remaining life of each machine component and then manage maintenance plans in order to reduce breakdowns and machine downtime.

Benefits for the company


– Improved efficiency in production and maintenance processes.

– Reduced deviation between expected and actual delivery times.

– Increased speed of production process detection.

– Increased machine availability thanks to a new strategic approach to maintenance.

– Changed positioning in the innovation landscape, giving the company a competitive advantage.
