NEW!
Integral Heat & Energy Meter functions now
available with the UF3300 for hot and chilled water applications!
Once connected to a machine, an engineer can move between screens with no time lag, resulting in a 90 per cent + first time fix rate
is expediating the identification and ordering of defective parts. “This has increased our first time fix rates to more than 90 per cent,” states Flowers. In the case of a screw calibration fault observed on an IntElect machine at Omega Plastics, a quote for replacement IPM modules was immediately issued, authorised and an engineer pre-booked to fit and set the machine up the next day, saving Omega £473. During remote access, expert Sumitomo (SHI) Demag helpdesk service engineers can switch between screens. This enables support staff to very quickly identify the problem and decide how best to resolve it. Flowers comments: “By identifying the defective part using activeConnect, our support team can order the part, arrange delivery, and schedule an engineer to attend the customer site when the part is scheduled to arrive. The result; significantly less downtime for customers and consequently an increase on OEE.”
Remote Resets Because activeConnect is wired into each control panel, the Sumitomo (SHI) Demag UK and Ireland helpdesk can also be granted permission to undertake remedial work and recalibrate settings. This feature was especially
helpful for specialist cap manufacturer Guala Closures when an HMI touchscreen was unresponsive. Rather than booking a next day engineer visit, the helpdesk rebooted the touchscreen calibration remotely,
enabling the Guala team to then calibrate the settings. Within minutes of the call, the machine was fully operational again. Saving Guala £430 for an engineer to visit and fix, and potentially thousands in lost production income. For a mass manufacturer of
precision components, keeping the factory doors open and machinery fully operational has been critical to maintaining critical supply chains, note the authors of the 2021 Digital Transformation Assessment report. A full year since the pandemic shook our economy, the most significant imperative cited by 92 per cent of manufacturing leaders participating in the survey is improving operational efficiency. Flowers adds: “In 2021, every decision will inevitably be driven by cost and a new term coined ‘Digital Lean’. Real time information has always been deemed important to machine availability. Yet, as we embark on the recovery, practical collaboration tools, especially remote assistance, will prove to be invaluable to productivity cost savings and waste reduction.” To complement this service, the
Sumitomo (SHI) Demag Group will soon unveil a web-based support application offering real time diagnostics, digitalised support documentation, an interactive parts catalogue and more. Also developed in-house, the team likens the technology to pushing a help button.
