Unplanned downtime in the pharmaceutical industry is a severe reliability issue with serious consequences. Unplanned downtime at a pharmaceutical plant can interrupt production and have serious financial consequences. Additionally, unforeseen downtime may result in regulatory noncompliance and, ultimately, plant shutdown.
The pharmaceutical sector contributes significantly to global GDP and helps improve people's health and well-being, making it one of the world's most important industries. The pharmaceutical industry is under massive pressure to keep medicine pricing low and delivery timelines as tight as feasible. Pharmaceutical goods have a rigorous time-to-market timetable, and many companies struggle to meet those objectives. However, the manager cannot manage and monitor all equipment personally.
Predictive maintenance and analytics play a major role in the pharmaceutical industry in improving quality and reducing equipment downtime. S-Nodes can measure pressure, humidity, triaxial vibration, 6D motion, RPM, proximity, acoustics, and gas emission. S-Node offers the ability to monitor the condition of components before they fail, allowing people to reduce component downtime, save time, and improve quality.
The data collected by S-Nodes can be used to identify potential equipment faults before they cause a failure, allowing for proactive maintenance. This can help to reduce downtime, increase equipment life, and enhance overall efficiency.
