Stadler, a German company specialising in the design, production, and assembly of turnkey recycling and sorting plants, is setting a new standard for facility efficiency with its advanced digital solutions. The cloud-based Stadlerconnect platform serves as a central access point for the company’s digital technologies, leveraging machine and material data to optimise overall plant performance.
Preventing Downtime with Predictive Maintenance
One of the most innovative modules of Stadlerconnect is predictive maintenance, enabling operators to adopt a proactive approach to plant management. Advanced sensors continuously monitor operational data, issuing timely alerts in the event of critical changes and thereby preventing unexpected breakdowns. This early warning system minimises downtime and reduces the costs associated with unplanned interruptions.
Maximising Efficiency with Data-Driven Insights
Stadlerconnect incorporates a suite of data-driven tools designed to maximise availability, performance, and overall efficiency. The platform combines artificial intelligence and real-time monitoring to adapt to the specific configurations of each facility, focusing on two main areas of application:
1. Machine Data:
- Predictive maintenance: prevents equipment failures.
- Blockage detection: automatically alerts operators when material blockages or jams are forming.
- Downtime monitoring: identifies and analyses plant downtime.
- Service portal: streamlines communication with after-sales support.
2. Material Data:
- Material distribution system: evenly allocates material flows to optimise performance.
- Production reporting: displays production data with a focus on output material.
- Incoming material analysis: examines packaged material entering the plant.
- Outgoing material analysis: evaluates material packaged at the plant’s output.
A Flexible and Future-Oriented Solution
Through automation and integrated analysis tools, Stadlerconnect not only enhances operational performance but also lightens operators’ workloads, ensuring consistent quality while reducing the need for manual checks. Its digital maintenance solutions also enable more predictable servicing and rapid responses to unexpected issues, minimising downtime.
The platform is designed to evolve alongside recyclers’ needs, offering regular updates and functional improvements at no additional cost, ensuring users have a system that stays ahead of industry challenges.
