Boost Productivity & Efficiency in Caffeine Manufacturing with IoT Machine Monitoring Solutions

Introduction

The client that approached us is a reputed caffeine manufacturer with customers spread all over the country with Pan-India operations. They were looking at outsourcing a remote machine monitoring system with IoT tech for their manufacturing unit.

Business Requirements

The client wanted visibility on their machines’ production and also downtime when it occurs. Another pain point of the client was unaware if their machines are running overtime and at what RPM. If RPM is not maintained the quality of the powder from grinding the coffee beans will be affected and they needed to monitor that aspect of their machinery.

The client also needed to know how the employees are handling the machinery like the centrifuge and dryers, which is a grey area for them. They also required remote diagnostic tools and data to plan and schedule maintenance for all the heavy-duty machines that they were not able to do presently.

The Solution Summary

We at Trinetra TSense were able to provide a solution to the client with our cloud-based machine monitoring system which will make it convenient for them to monitor different parameters that are required by the client. The web-based asset monitoring and management platform can show the current values of parameters of each machine or group of machines used in the manufacturing of caffeine. The IoT application can instantly monitor critical parameters and its trends, making it easy for data-driven (informed) decision-making. The IoT based application can monitor on 24×7 basis, in real-time, hosted on the IoT platform provided by tSense.
