The corrugated industry is the backbone of modern packaging, enabling businesses to transport goods efficiently and sustainably. However, maintaining uptime in corrugated plants is a persistent challenge, as equipment failures lead to costly downtime, lost production, and safety hazards.

KCF Technologies is transforming the industry with its predictive maintenance solutions, powered by SMARTdiagnostics®. Through real-time asset monitoring and expert-driven analytics, KCF helps corrugated manufacturers prevent failures before they occur, reducing downtime, mitigating fire risks, and optimizing operational efficiency.

Wireless vibration sensors are transforming asset health and reliability, offering advancements beyond traditional route-based monitoring. As a cornerstone of predictive maintenance, they provide essential data for analytics, corrective actions, and overall plant engagement. However, the market has become saturated with inexperienced companies producing poorly designed sensors that often fail due to violations of best practices established over six decades in piezoelectric accelerometer design. This influx of low-quality technology poses risks to the effectiveness of predictive maintenance programs.
