The problem
Lombarda S.p.A produces cement products for the construction industry. Currently, the process of management and control of production and machinery and plant maintenance is carried out in manual mode. Specifically, the production manager directly detects key production parameters, such as timing and productivity, but also problems, errors, and the need for maintenance work that may occur during production processes.
Benefits for the company proposing the project
- Better efficiency in managing production and maintenance processes.
- Less deviation between planned and actual delivery times.
- Increased speed of detection of production processes.
- Increased machine availability due to a new strategic approach to maintenance.
- Change in positioning in the innovation landscape; the enterprise gains a competitive advantage.
Impacts
- Plant interconnection enables automated communication between machines and the information system.
- Production is optimized by properly planning production orders according to machine availability and operating status.
- The maintenance process is now characterized by a strategic approach: the enterprise will be able to assess the remaining life of each machine and then manage its maintenance plans in order to decrease breakdowns and downtime.
Technologies
- Sensors and machinery revamping solutions required for automatic detection of production parameters.
- Digital platform for real-time monitoring and control of production.
The proposed system is to provide the enterprise with the ability to automatically capture plant process data through connectivity solutions between machinery and an information system developed for real-time monitoring of performance as well as the operating status of machines.
