In the electromotor factory Bad Neustadt there are machines for stator wilding. The challenge for the customer is that the copper winding must be inserted into the metal stator core. Downtimes of the machine and the tool must be avoided. Also, if necessary, the process parameters must be monitored, and, if the process gets out of control, measures and preventions must be initiated.
Process data from the machine is connected to Insights Hub for visualization and stored there. Each motor design with its own winding can be tracked for data monitoring; for this purpose, various views are available in the Insights Hub app Business Intelligence. The insertion forces are continuously documented, and process trends are visibly displayed. If parameters are outside the limit values, push information is sent by e-mail so that inspections of the insertion tool or maintenance of the machine can be initiated.
The qualitatively collected data on the Business Intelligence application allows reacting before the erosion of the tool leads to its failure. The machine and the process are now operated at a high capacity level to achieve maximum output per production unit. Collected out-of-process parameters can help to make necessary design changes. Safe production processes are established by working with statistics.
