MANUFACTURING LEADERSHIP AWARD WINNING CASE STUDY

Predictive Maintenance for CNC Machines in Automotive Manufacturing

HINO

The deployment of PDX, Predictronics’ software solution for predictive maintenance, at Hino Motors helped to predict a CNC machine failure before it occurred, preventing unplanned downtime and unnecessary repairs. This improved maintenance scheduling, enhanced productivity, and increased spare part inventories, resulting in overall cost savings.

About This Case

  • Predictronics worked with Hino Motors to identify two CNC machines and one welding machine that could benefit the most from predictive maintenance. Four specific components were monitored: the spindle, ball screw, clamp, and conveyor motor.

  • The solution proved its value after just one month of deployment and, based on the downtime history over the course of a year, this automotive supply manufacturer will realize ROI in less than two years.

  • Predictronics configured and deployed the solution—based on an existing analytics template—to monitor the health of the CNC machines.
