How we solve i4.0 problems

During our short but intense market roller coaster startup trip, we have been able to meet with several industrial companies. Each of them had different problems, obviusly. In some cases, when we did not see a clear added value or viability, so we decided not to go for the project. However, for the other cases, we could easily solve their challenges, applying our solutions in different ways.

Here there are some real examples on how we are helping industries to get connected to the IoT Industry 4.0 concept.

• Multinational Industrial Company:
  • Problem: "Our assets to do maintenance operations are expensive and have huge mobility. Sometimes we don't know where they are. Their usage is inefficient."
  • Solution: Coolfox GS trackers were placed in the equipments' cases to keep them tracked in real-time.
  • Benefits: Improve planning, increase asset usage, keep assets secured, avoid misplace and loss.

 

• Chemical & Painting Industry for Automotive Sector:
  • Problem: "Some of our chemical products need to be kept between 0 and 30 ºC for their quality to be guaranteed. The problem appears during hot seasons in summer and cold temperatures in winter"
  • Solution: Coolfox S temperature trackers were placed in the painting packaing with temperature threshold alarms set below 5ºC and above 25ºC so they could react before their product was wasted.
  • Benefits: Ensure product quality across the supply-chain, avoid product wasting, improve customer relationship

 

• Multinational Electrical Company:
  • Problem: "We need to keep the temperature of our motors and generators under control in real-time. We have a solution that works with SIM cards, but they do not transmit from inside a maritime container"
  • Solution: Industrial Coolfox iS was placed attached to the generator to keep its temperature monitored and alarms were set if temperature goes above 30 ºC.
  • Benefits: Keep generator motor safe, predictive maintenance, transmiting inside maritime container.

 

• Multinational Power Manufactuer:
  • Problem: "We must have real-time traceability of the processes of our components. Our products have a complex manufacturing process and we use returnable containers to transport them.
  • Solution: Industrial Coolfox iS attached to the returnable containers and a system that relates which component is in which of the containers was developed.
  • Benefits: Track and traceability of containers, components and processes, to improve quality assurance and efficiency of the supply-chain.

​

• Industrial Machine Tooling Manufacturer:
  • Problem: "When we send our machines, they suffer impacts during transportation and we are paying for all the damages when the customer complains"
  • Solution: Industrial Coolfox iAS attached to the machines detect and send real-time notification of the received impact level as an evidence for the insurance or transport company. The real-time location information can be shared with customers to estimate arrival times. 
  • Benefits: Product and customer care. Transportation costs saving and accountability management.

If you have more (similar or different) challenges, we are always happy to listen to problems ;)
We will try our best to help you.

By the way, thank you for reading our blog!
