THE CHALLENGE

The problem to solve

Unplanned machine downtime cost an average of 15,000 EUR/hour in lost production. Maintenance was purely reactive or based on fixed schedules, with 40% of scheduled interventions proving unnecessary and 25% of failures occurring unexpectedly. Unplanned downtime totaled 180 hours/year.

THE SOLUTION

What we implemented

AI digital twin of the plant integrating data from 200+ IoT sensors (vibrations, temperature, pressure, energy consumption). The model predicts failures 72 hours in advance, suggests the optimal maintenance window, and simulates what-if scenarios to optimize production parameters. Real-time dashboard for the plant manager.
