What did our team find?

While conducting monthly MOSAICO Performance Reliability Services on a QualiCal PFR Lime Kiln operating at Bergmann Kalk, X4LIME Team highlighted an undergoing increase of unplanned downtime 🚨 mainly related to the Fuel measuring unit that provides natural gas for the calcination process.

What was the trigger for this analysis?

Analysis was possible thanks to #iDO, the Industrial Digital Operator working within Mosaico Digital WORKSPACE. #iDO collected the most recursive Unplanned Downtime and identified the fuel measuring and distribution unit as the key components object of the problem.

What was the value to the customer?

Starting from this alter the most effective plant operation has been restored!

Thanks to visibility on aggregate insight made available in the MOSAICO WORKSPACE, the plant followers can benefit of higher level of information, no more looking only to alarms 🚨 blinking over HMI Human Machine Interface, but detecting anomalous trend of specific alarms that generate downtimes.

These important insights allowed field operators to make decision to timely deal on what really matter and act for a fast resolution.

Thanks to the information made available on MOSAICO WORKSPACE to the experts people at work, we are really glad to support Downtime fast identification and provide fast resolution. ” — Edoardo Cella — X4LIME Team Leader.
