Machine Performance Monitoring: Brainkin for Arko
Arko SpA was founded in 1997 in Motta di Livenza (Treviso), from the experience in the furniture sector of the founding members and in a short time established itself as one of the most dynamic production companies in the area in the production of MDF furniture components coated with thermoplastic sheet (PVC, PET, ABS).
CUSTOMER NEEDS
Arko’s need was to evaluate the real performance of the calendering production line, in order to understand the problems and then solve them. In fact, the specific line was often found to have unpredictable stops, slowing down the execution of the various orders and consequently reducing the quality of the final product. Furthermore, the present system did not always provide reliable performance KPIs.
A further requirement of Arko was the punctual monitoring of the energy consumption of the components of the line and the possibility of obtaining comparison reports in different time intervals.
Arko turned to beanTech to study together a solution that could provide the various components in the plant with punctual and reliable information.
