About The Customer
An automotive components manufacturer of micro-motors
The Challenge
An automotive components manufacturer was facing lower productivity from a relatively new automated assembly line - production 43% lower than installed capacity; new plant, 3 years old. Plant runs 24 hours, 6.5 days a week.
Management is budgeting a 2nd assembly line driven by demand, but wants current productivity issues resolved.
The Solution
Dataranya installed a non-invasive system on a bottleneck machine to track factory operations 24x7, in real-time & remotely.
Pattern recognition algorithms, automated production reports & downtime phone alerts to stakeholders were other tools deployed.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
