Real-time alerts for deviating vibrations

Avoided loss of €30,743

Increased asset lifetime and reduced downtime

The start

Amcor sought a proactive maintenance system that would alert them to deviating vibrations in critical machinery. The focus of the project was on early intervention, with goals to minimize downtime and extend the life of essential assets. This approach aligned with Amcor’s commitment to efficiency and sustainability in its operations.

The solution

To monitor the exhaust fans, Amcor self-installed 20 vibration sensors, facilitated by Sensorfact’s support. Alerts were configured to detect any unusual vibrations, providing real-time insights into equipment performance. This enabled the team to respond quickly to issues and maintain stable operations.

The results

Amcor quickly saw the benefits of their investment. One of three fans mounted on the same frame showed signs of wear and was replaced. Following Sensorfact’s recommendation, Amcor aligned the new fan, reducing vibration levels across all three monitored assets to within safe limits.

Through these interventions, Amcor achieved substantial savings, totaling €30,743. This included €10,080 from reducing downtime and €20,663 from extending asset lifespan. Sensorfact’s predictive maintenance technology has empowered Amcor to enhance equipment reliability and support their mission of responsible production.
