More Safety, Fewer Unplanned Outages

During the development and production of polyamide-based products at the Austrian plants in Lenzing and Schörfling by Evonik Fibres GmbH, the machines are subjected to heavy use. This is why they were inspected once a month. This was not enough for the maintenance team. In order to detect unplanned down- times as early as possible, the maintenance team decided that in the future they would supplement preventive maintenance with condition-based maintenance. Schaeffler‘s service partner Messfeld GmbH implemented the OPTIME CM wireless condition monitoring solution.

Immediate success: shortly after the OPTIME sensors were installed, a warning message was issued on the dryer. Maintenance measures could be initiated immediately.
