Industry type
Electronic component manufacturer
Occupation
Facility Maintenance Manager
Implemented product
Acceleration vibration sensor unit
Target equipment
Clean room air-conditioning equipment

Issues and results

  • The customer wanted to control the budget and perform predictive maintenance on the newly installed air-conditioning equipment in the clean room
    ・Prevented quality anomalies due to air-conditioning failures
    ・Curbed the amount of capital investment by roughly 8 million yen over two years
    ・Reduced the inspection time

Implementation background

The customer wanted to perform predictive maintenance on the newly installed air-conditioning equipment in the clean room, but wired vibration sensors were expensive.
Curbing capital investment and performing predictive maintenance on the air conditioners were issues.

Implementation

・Installed wireless vibration sensors (total of eight sensors) in each air-conditioning unit to monitor the trends in the effective acceleration value
・When the effective acceleration value exceeds the threshold value, a Windows application provided by Murata issues a warning and notifies the manager of the need to perform an inspection

Implementation

Results

・Predicted and prevented quality anomalies to curb the amount of capital investment (roughly 8 million yen over two years)
・Reduced the inspection time by automating the inspection work
