Machine maintenance results in £380,000 saving

MARCH was appointed to develop a new HMI screen to enable fault finding and to reduce downtime hours for a client’s existing systems

History

Limitations to the client’s existing systems made it difficult to restart the plant after a wash sequence. This caused 175 hours of downtime in the last year. Musk was asked to develop a new HMI screen to assist with fault finding.

Solution

MARCH’s on-site engineers developed a new HMI screen to assist with fault finding. This new system provides information on valve positions, making fault finding easy.

Results

The HMI screen has dramatically reduced downtime for the client and resulted in a saving of 175 hours and £380,000 per annum across six lines for the client. The client has awarded the MARCH engineers involved in the upgrade to acknowledge and thank them for their role in achieving cost and time savings.
