PREVISION© for heat treatment furnaces

Schmiedeke Uwe - IVA Schmetz GmbH (Germany)

One of the key innovations of Industry 4.0 is “Predictive Maintenance”. PREVISION© from IVA Schmetz will bring this industrial revolution to heat treatment furnaces. It does not only monitor the condition of all the furnaces in the plant but also predicts potential maintenance needs and upcoming faults in advance with the help of machine learning. The prediction of the evolvement is achieved through a combination of condition monitoring and self-developed intelligent algorithms. This gives you the opportunity to act before component failures of furnace downtimes occur. With the help of PREVISION© necessary maintenance can be better planned in the future and plant downtimes can be minimized. This gives you the opportunity to act before component failures or furnace downtimes occur.
PREVISION© is already used by several of our customers. The connected furnaces are fully integrated into the production process and provide real data. Our algorithms based on the collected data are used to detect and monitor the wear conditions of components and to discover any change or irregularities. PREVISION© predicts the future of the furnace condition by combining the knowledge about the past, which is hidden in the data, with the process and furnace know-how of IVA Schmetz, incorporated into artificial intelligence.
The success so far makes clear how much potential PREVISION© has for the heat treatment industry.
