关于客户
ARGO-HYTOS is a medium-sized family business with over 1,300 employees, specializing in Fluid & Motion Control and Filtration technology for mobile and industrial hydraulics. With more than 65 years of experience, the company is a key component and system supplier in the supply chain of world market leaders in mobile working machinery and mechanical engineering. ARGO-HYTOS operates production companies in Germany, Czech Republic, Poland, India, USA, and China, along with various sales offices and assembly sites worldwide. The company is committed to innovation and efficiency in its operations, seeking to enhance transparency and productivity across its global production sites.
挑战
ARGO-HYTOS faced challenges in increasing transparency and efficiency at their production site in Kraichtal-Menzingen. The company needed a solution to collect and analyze data on machine standstills to gain insights into machine efficiencies. The existing systems were not providing the level of detail and integration required to optimize machine assignments and improve overall production efficiency. Additionally, there was a need to consolidate the IT landscape and replace the existing Time & Attendance system to streamline operations and reduce manual data recording.
解决方案
To address the challenges, ARGO-HYTOS implemented the Manufacturing Execution System (MES) HYDRA by MPDV at their Kraichtal-Menzingen site. The initial implementation included the HYDRA modules for Shop Floor Data, Machine Data, and Shop Floor Scheduling, which enabled detailed planning of orders and automatic assignment of orders to individual machines based on specifications from the ERP system. This integration allowed for real-time data collection on machine status, production quantities, and order processing times, which were displayed on large monitors for employee visibility. In the next phase, ARGO-HYTOS expanded the functionality of HYDRA by adding modules for Time & Attendance, Personnel Time Management, Premium & Incentive Wages, and Access Control. This expansion replaced the existing Time & Attendance system, consolidated the IT landscape, and enabled paperless workflows for processes like leave application and approval. The Access Control module ensured that only authorized personnel could enter the premises, with all entries and attempts logged and evaluated. The successful implementation at Kraichtal-Menzingen and the Czech site in Vrchlabi led to a rollout of HYDRA to other sites in India, USA, China, and Poland.

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.
