Machine health optimization solutions from KCF Technologies are designed specifically for the metals industry, so smart manufacturers can remotely monitor their critical assets, increase the safety of their facility, decrease downtime, and optimize production.
Unexpected gearbox failures from wear and fatigue, electrical issues, or incorrect operation can shut down entire lines and halt production, leading to costly downtime.
Combustion fans are critical for many processes in the metal production industry. Continuous monitoring can prevent failures of fan wheels, belt/sheave/alignment, and bearings.
In metal production, piston pumps supply pressure for a variety of vital operations. Equipment failure can result in safety hazards and expensive downtime.
If a failure occurs at a tension reel—where steel is rolled into a coil at the end of the line—production will grind to a halt. Costly downtime can be minimized with predictive analysis.
Achieve 3.6x more asset coverage with the only comprehensive platform to ingest Oil, MCSA, Pressure, Vibration, Legacy IEPE sensors, and Ultrasound into
one software platform.
Reduce unplanned downtime by getting to the root cause of machine failures. Learn how KCF’s machine health optimization platform will help you achieve peak plant performance. Download the KCF Guide to learn more about optimizing your machine health.
Using a network of monitoring sensors on your metal production assets, machine health data is transmitted to KCF’s central cloud database. Our V3 sensors are wireless, magnetic, and purpose-built for industrial environments.
Data collected is visualized in actionable machine health information using SMARTdiagnostics. It is customizable by job function so the right member of your team will be informed of long-term recommendations and/or immediately alerted of potential combustion fan or gearbox failures, misalignment of belts/sheaves, or abnormal fault frequencies.
SMARTdiagnostics is the least expensive and easiest way to achieve continuous monitoring on recirculation fans to prevent coupling damage.
Fault conditions can go undetected for long periods of time, erupting in a matter of minutes.
Respond to critical operational questions with data-driven decisions. KCF Technologies’ SMARTdiagnostics machine health platform will uncover blind spots in your processes so you can optimize performance and improve employee safety.
Take control of your equipment with holistic asset monitoring and analytics, application-specific insight from engineers, and predictive maintenance support.
“The system has prevented catastrophic failure to 10 motors and 1 gearbox. Determining that these pieces of equipment are about to fail gave us the opportunity to change the equipment during a planned stop.”
