The FMCG / CPG industry has always been at the forefront of mechanization. It kickstarted the first industrial revolution and, as digitization and automation transform warehouses and factory floors, is now leading the way through the fourth.
The very nature of the industry – with low margins, a need to consistently produce a high volume of often perishable product to strict quality standards, and with tight maintenance windows between productions runs – means there’s very little margin for error. There’s simply no room for unplanned downtime. But machine failures will still occur.
A wealth of data is generated by the growing number of smart connected machines communicating with each other and with process equipment – valuable information that can be utilized for automated condition monitoring purposes, often without the need for any additional sensors to be installed.
