Iacchetti S.r.l. is an Italian company specializing in the design and production of customized electronic engineering solutions. It offers services ranging from hardware and firmware design to web application development, with particular focus on the industrial automation, embedded devices, and HMI systems sectors.
Maintenance management of escalators and elevators installed in high-traffic areas (airports, stations, subways) is often carried out using a reactive or cyclical approach. This method reduces the level of service, as the wear and tear of such equipment exposes them to the risk of malfunction or breakdown.
Smart IoT sensors and vision systems automatically collect variables and images to monitor wear levels.
Algorithms and mathematical models calculate the wear level and automatically diagnose the condition of the equipment.
It is possible to strategically manage the maintenance team, which will be called to intervene promptly by anticipating failures.
Continuity of service level is ensured.
Data and variables are collected to perform predictive calculations on the performance and operation of the equipment. This is a first step towards implementing Industry 4.0 maintenance.
Improves users’ perception of service quality.
Reduces maintenance costs.
Increases awareness of the operation of analyzed equipment, thereby enhancing decision-making capabilities.
