Cloud-Based Platform Monitors Machine and Plant Health
SACMI says Smart Care is a cloud-based platform designed to help customers optimize plant control and maintenance via new assistance services and proactive problem-solving.
SACMI says Smart Care runs continuous in-depth health checks on machines, exploiting artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze large quantities of data collected in the cloud. On the basis of real-time data and user assigned parameters, processors can monitor key KPIs such as plant availability and MTBF (mean time between failure).
The platform can also provide statistical reports on shutdown causes by analyzing all machine-generated alarms and mean time to repair (MTTR). Users can also keep other process variables under control, analyzing them either individually or in aggregate form according to relevant criteria.
SACMI Smart Care offers remote functionality, promising to save time and money by accurately quantifying the frequency and cost of maintenance in advance. The Smart Care platform can be accessed via any authenticated device on the corporate network, maximizing data portability and security. Premium services include automatic notifications of any advance detection of drifts.
