Sustainability 20. September 2023

Real-time visualisation of process and machine data holds great potential for the circular economy as a whole and for recycling processes in particular. At K 2022 EREMA will be launching "PredictOn:Drive", a predictive maintenance application for its recycling machines. The app can be used to monitor the condition of the main drive trains and vacuum pumps during operation to predict when maintenance needs to be performed next. The machine operator benefits from improved scheduling of maintenance work, shorter downtimes and lower costs.

“PredictOn” is the name of EREMA's new predictive maintenance package. At K, the recycling machine manufacturer will present “PredictOn:Drive” - the first tool in this package - as a solution for monitoring and predicting maintenance requirements for all main drive trains and vacuum pump stations on PET recycling machines. Behind this is an ingenious modular measurement and sensor system for real-time data acquisition and storage that is used for machine condition evaluation as well as for advanced analysis of damage location and damage spread while proposing possible countermeasures. That is how the machine provides data to visualise the condition of the plant and enable predictions on the maintenance work necessary.
