Objective
To minimize unplanned equipment downtime in the manufacturing plant by detecting early signs of mechanical failure using IoT sensor data.
Solution
We deployed a network of vibration and temperature sensors on critical machinery. Data was streamed to a cloud-based Python backend where a Random Forest machine learning model analyzed real-time patterns. We built a dashboard for plant managers to view health scores and receive alerts for potential anomalies.
- Comprehensive analysis of existing workflow bottlenecks.
- Custom implementation of scalable architecture.
- Seamless integration with third-party APIs.
Results
Unplanned downtime was reduced by 30% in the first quarter of operation. Maintenance costs were optimized by moving from a fixed schedule to a condition-based schedule, saving the company approximately $150k annually.
