Packaging firm Tetra Pak has launched a new Condition Monitoring service to help food and drink manufacturers predict machine failures, cutting downtime and costs.
The Microsoft monitoring technology provides real-time analysis of operational data from machine lines, which can be used to advise customers on their maintenance needs, and allow them to plan ahead.
Tetra Pak says that trial programmes of the service are 'demonstrating strong results' and have eliminated downtime by up to 48 hours over a six month period.
Innovation
“We are constantly innovating with our customers and partners to enhance our services," said Johann Nilsson, vice president of Tetra Pak services.
"With the new Condition Monitoring maintenance service, we will support customers to predict failures before they happen and optimise maintenance to reduce downtime. We are pleased that the new service will help customers significantly increase productivity, reduce failures and ultimately, raise business profitability."
