Realization of predictive / preventive maintenance at the warehouse level.

MELSOFT MaiLab is data analysis/diagnosis software that easily realizes preventive maintenance and quality improvement at the site.

AI / edge computing technology and statistical methods enable real-time diagnosis and offline analysis of field data in one product. Predictive maintenance is possible by extracting diagnostic rules by offline analysis of the accumulated data and feeding back the diagnostic results to the site in real time.

predictive / preventive maintenance at the material handling equipment level.

By utilizing the e-F@ctory Starter Package, it is possible to realize abnormality monitoring of various equipment and devices.

Corrective Maintenance at the material handling equipment level.

By using a system recorder, “Recording Whole” and “Easy Analysis” of system status in the event of an anomaly, can dramatically reducing downtime.

Solution Examples

Cycle Time Improved by 10% with Cylinder Monitoring!

Company “A” had concerns about low equipment performance, which lead to slow production speed and delayed production schedules. The company decided to introduce cylinder monitoring, and saw a 10% improvement in cycle time.
What was the secret to its success?

Reduced 93% Time Investigating The Cause of Equipment Trouble with The System Recorder!

Company A was unable to reproduce the error at the time of the equipment trouble in the automated assembly process, which is producing a large variety of products in small quantities, and it took time to investigate the cause. By introducing the 'system recorder' we succeeded in reducing the time needed to identify the cause by 93% and improving the OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness). What's the secret?

Identify the cause of problems fast. Achieves ZERO short stops!

Company A was troubled by short stops on equipment caused by rare problems. The company became able to identify the causes of the problems based on the equipment operation logs and video data that was recorded and eliminate short stops by taking permanent measures. This consequently improved equipment operating ratio. What is the secret to Company A’s success? What is the secret to its success?
