IVA Schmetz created an IoT platform to offer PdM for their customers’ heat treatment equipment. This gives insights into the technical setup of the platform and corresponding usage of the OSIsoft Pi System. By networking machines, states and processes can be viewed from anywhere, necessary maintenance can be planned and downtimes can be minimized.
Data acquisition with a third party solution is inserting data into a central PI system, where the data is managed with Pi AF and pushed forward to an advanced analytics environment. Any result is inserted into the Pi System again to be able to use Pi Vision to visualize the raw data and gained insights. The integration of the PI System as a central component of IVA Schmetz’ IoT platform quickly enabled a functioning system for predicting arising error conditions.
