At Devro’s production facility, high-speed rotating blades in the machines can loosen over time, potentially causing costly damage to the entire set of blades. To prevent this, Devro aimed to implement real-time monitoring to detect maintenance issues early. Although they already used predictive maintenance software globally, they saw an opportunity to enhance their vibration monitoring and compare multiple systems for optimal performance.
Devro installed Sensorfact’s vibration sensors on critical machinery for continuous vibration monitoring. With Sensorfact’s support, they set up custom alerts to provide early warnings when vibrations deviated from normal levels. This proactive approach offers real-time insights into machine performance, enabling Devro to respond quickly to malfunctions.
Since implementing Sensorfact’s solution, Devro has avoided replacing entire sets of blades on two occasions, with each instance saving €5,660. By addressing issues early, they only needed to replace the affected blade, resulting in substantial savings. So far, this proactive approach has saved Devro approximately €11,320 in maintenance costs.
Sensorfact’s predictive maintenance technology has helped Devro enhance production reliability, reinforcing their commitment to quality and innovation. Devro is now expanding this technology to additional sites to further support their operational excellence.
