Digitalized parts cleaning
Ecoclean Connect defines data generated by the cleaning system’s control unit, which is stored, evaluated, analyzed, and linked in the Internet of Things (IoT) platform. The digitalization tool adds value in:
Condition monitoring: System status; process visualization including pre-selections, step sequence display; operating data history; overview of key performance indicators (KPI)
Documentation: Overview of cleaning processes; individual reports; manages cleaning programs with version history; library for key documents; event timeline
Production planning: Displays overall equipment effectiveness (OEE), availability, utilization; overview of runtime and throughput
Predictive maintenance: Displays system status at any time; targeted maintenance forecast for pumps, heaters, butterfly valves, filters; maintenance recommendations
Connectivity: Connection to higher-level control structures via common interface protocols; optimized interface to Ecoclean Service; automatic email notification service
