Industry type
Electronic component manufacturer
Occupation
Facility Maintenance Manager
Implemented product
0-5V and Pulse Signal Unit
Target equipment
Sheet feeding equipment

Issues and results

  • Visual monitoring of the vacuum pressure for 30 pieces of equipment created a maintenance load
    Automation of the pressure gauge data collection.
    Reduced the time required for periodic monitoring of the vacuum pressure by 90 hours per month.

Implementation background

Periodic patrol monitoring of the vacuum pressure for 30 pieces of equipment required roughly 3 hours per month per unit for a total of 90 hours per month.
The customer wanted some way to reduce this maintenance load.

Implementation

The pressure gauge data collection was automated by converting and graphing the analog values (0-5V) collected by the wireless 0-5V and Pulse Signal Units into atmospheric pressure values (Pa) using the Windows application features provided by Murata.

Results

・Reduced the time required for patrol monitoring of the vacuum pressure by 90 hours per month
・Reduced visual verification errors
・Reduced the burden on workers due to visual verification
