Challenge & goal

Canyon is looking for an innovative solution for monitoring critical gearmotors in order to avoid failures due to undetected errors and to relieve the maintenance team through automated processes.

Our solution

Thanks to an edge device with an LTE connection, independent of Canyon IT, our software monitors and analyses high-frequency vibration and operating data around the clock in order to identify deviations at an early stage.
Benefits for Canyon
Canyon saves costs through the targeted use of spare parts, avoids failures thanks to error forecasts, relieves personnel resources and increases the efficiency of production lines.
Monitoring of gear motors by an engineer
"The future of maintenance is difficult when it comes to skilled labor. With the AI-based solution from aiomatic, however, this looks much better again. The team can now focus on other activities, while monitoring and early warning alerts are provided by aiomatic."

Technical maintenance manager at Canyon

Hidden machine faults — and how to identify
them at an early stage

Machine faults often go unnoticed for a long time — until it is too late. Engines, transmissions and bearings are particularly affected. Typical damage can be identified early on in operating and sensor data — if you know which parameters are decisive during monitoring.

Challenge & goal

Nitto's printing press combines complex processes such as wrapping, printing, embossing and winding in one unit. A failure of individual components can shut down the entire production process. The aim is to prevent such failures through early fault detection.

Our solution

Our software integrates data from the rotogravure press's PLC, which records not only operating data but also temperature and vibration values. The analysis of 190 data channels shows that orbital speed has a decisive influence. With this knowledge, our maintenance assistant reliably detects deviations, even when operating parameters fluctuate.

Benefits for Nitto

Our software continuously monitors the condition of the machine and detects problems at an early stage. For example, our software has already identified a bearing defect and a leak in the silicone hose and repaired them in good time.

“aiomatic is pioneering. For example, the application of AI to real-time data has already predicted imminent warehouse damage for one of our systems. As a result, we were able to act early and avoid an unplanned downtime of more than 8 hours.”

Frequently asked questions

Here you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions about the requirements for using our software and previous use cases.
aiomatic's AI software fits your project and maintenance strategy if you're looking for a solution that continuously analyses machine data and detects anomalies in real time. Our software focuses on analyzing and identifying deviations, but without optimizing production parameters, automated spare parts orders, or creating maintenance plans.
Your machine should already have sensors that measure key process variables such as temperature, pressure, or flow. Sensors for power, target speed and vibrations are essential for motors. If a retrofit is required, we will be happy to advise you and provide you with support from our experienced partners.
With our solution, you get uncomplicated, ready-to-use AI software for machine data analysis. However, your process and machine experts, maintenance personnel and development engineers are still essential for project success.
The machines should have a medium to high degree of digitization so that status data is already recorded digitally. It is best to do this at regular, fixed intervals. Event-based data collection also requires a clearly defined rhythm (e.g. hourly).
