Reduceer productieverliezen en apparatuur-downtime

Het is belangrijk om steeds te weten dat uw weegsysteem gezond is. Dit helpt wezenlijk om batch-kwaliteitsfouten te voorkomen, voor het te laat is.. METTLER TOLEDO’s TraxEMT™ bezit functies die het mogelijk maken om verder te wegen met een acceptabele nauwkeurigheid totdat de loadcell gerepareerd of vervangen kan worden.. Zo voorkomt u kostbaar productverlies en dure downtime.

Causes and Effects of Weighing System Failures
When a weighing system is no longer weighing accurately it is usually due to mechanical influences on the weighing structure or load cell deficiencies. Possible causes of weighing system failures can be shock, overloading, mechanical damages, electrical surge, moisture, dust or extreme temperatures. Typical failures of a weighing system are non-linear or non-repeatable measurement, load cell signal drift, load cell cable short or damage, junction box malfunction or total load cell signal loss. If the failure is detected, production facilities face shut-downs and associated expenses due to questionable quality of the batch, wasted material, costly reworks and delivery delays.

Maintenance and repair practices
Today approximately 70 % of the maintenance and repair practices are reactive maintenance. Troubleshooting, repair and replacement of equipment in the event of failure cause high risk of prolonged downtime and expensive repair costs. 25 % is preventive maintenance meaning that the equipment is serviced on a routine schedule to avoid performance degradation that can occur over time. Just 5 % use real-time system monitoring technologies to determine the equipment’s condition while in operation and predict failures.

Predictive failure analysis
The predictive maintenance technology TraxEMT™ allows you to run your process and plant efficiently and perform maintenance when necessary and prior to its failing. With a TraxEMT™ enabled weighing terminal, condition parameters that control the real-time monitoring of every individual load cell sensor in a weighing system can be programmed to predict and detect for failures. The embedded maintenance technician TraxEMT™ technology utilizes individual cell diagnostics facilitated by the RAAD (Remote Adressable A/D) smart load cell junction box.

Accessing failure and diagnostics information
The IND780 advanced weighing terminal with TraxEMT™ combined with the RAAD Box™ technology allows:
• Continuous individual cell diagnostics
• Automatic alerts for scale/cell errors via email
• Calibration expiration management
• Scale calibration verification.

System failure recovery
In the event of a specific cell failure, IND780 TraxEMT™ weighing terminal can take control to allow the weighing process to continue within user accepted tolerances (not for Weights & Measures approved applications). The embedded ‘Run Flat’ algorithm compensates for the failed cell’s erroneous readings until the cell can be physically replaced or fixed.

This helps you to save time and costs by eliminating long hours of troubleshooting in a multiple cell system and having full control of maintenance schedules.
