Aurubis Olen deployed the ABB AbilityTM Monitoring Service to track and analyze the performance of assets such as motors and drives, and to provide expert recommendations for improved maintenance. By handing over the performance tracking of their motors and drives to ABB experts, they allowed their maintenance personnel to focus on other critical tasks at its Olen metal recycling plant in Belgium.
Aurubis Olen was particularly concerned about the availability and reliability of electrical motor-driven applications in its production process, such as ovens, ventilators and conveyor belts. The company installed ABB digital monitoring solutions on 22 motors—from both ABB and other suppliers—and an ABB DC drive. The ABB Ability Monitoring Service now feeds the operational data from these assets to remote ABB engineers who provide regular status reports and issue alerts about issues that require attention.
By combining the technical expertise of ABB’s remote experts with the on-site knowledge of Aurubis’s operations team, plant operators can take appropriate maintenance action before issues become critical, preventing unscheduled downtime.
