Challenge details:

At our plant, a continuous engine assembly line (with 40 assembly stations) handles various engine models, each undergoing multiple operations at designated stations. The inspection of the engines is deferred until all assembly steps are completed and rework is planned for the engines which have discrepancies.

It is expected that the missing or incomplete operations should be detected instantaneously, and an alert is issued to the operator so the same can be completed. In case of fastening (nut cranking) operations, it is necessary to record the torque values and link to respective engines for a later retrieval of these for tracking. This ensures precision in fastener application, critical for engine reliability and performance.

Condition Monitoring for Kiln Support Rollers and Gearboxes
Rewards proportional to your differentiated solution! More than one solution is expected to exist. Solution may be implemented without customization.

Rotary kilns rely on gearboxes and support rollers for efficient rotation, but high temperatures and low RPM hinder effective condition monitoring. Current ultrasonic methods are inadequate due to the harsh environment, leading to increased bearing failures and production stoppages. A robust monitoring system is needed to withstand these conditions, providing accurate data for proactive maintenance and preventing downtime. Addressing this challenge is essential for maintaining kiln efficiency and reliability in the production process.
