In 2018, this food manufacturer was committed to improving reliability and overall OEE performance within their Brisbane snack manufacturing plant (7 production lines).
The local team identified FitMachine as a wireless sensor solution that could provide continuous condition monitoring oversight on a range of critical pumps, motors, and fan units.
FitMachine was up and running in less than 3 hours with no tool or machine downtime required.
Within months FitMachine had proven long-term value for the customer – providing the early warning required so as to avoid a lengthy unplanned downtime period.
From an initial investment of less than USD 10,000, FitMachine saved this plant a conservative $300,000 in lost production.
FitMachine’s 24/7 monitoring and early alerts help us with minimizing unplanned downtime at the Brisbane site. We are happy to renew our subscription to continue monitoring our most critical equipment with FitMachine.
