Proactive Monitoring Pays Off: 300k Saved With MOVUS FitMachine

Our client’s Brisbane facility was committed to enhancing reliability and improving OEE performance. With seven production lines, this food manufacturing plant faced significant risks associated with unplanned downtime. They needed a solution that could deliver actionable insights into asset performance without disrupting operations.

FitMachine’s fast deployment capabilities enabled the team to install the system in under three hours, with no tools required and no downtime for the plant. This rapid setup provided immediate access to real-time condition monitoring data, empowering the team to identify potential issues before they escalated.

Fault Detected

Within months of deployment, FitMachine detected subtle changes in the operational behaviour of a critical asset—a precursor to what could have been a severe equipment failure. The early warning allowed the maintenance team to investigate and address the issue proactively, avoiding unplanned downtime that would have severely impacted production.
