Cloud-based Analysis Tools

Clouver's cloud-based analysis tools enable efficient processing and analysis of large amounts of data. These tools provide you with the flexibility to monitor your data anytime and anywhere. By using the cloud, you can access your data from anywhere and make important decisions in real-time. Clouver uses advanced algorithms to recognize patterns and make predictions that help you further optimize production processes.

Visualisation with Dynamic Dashboards

Clouver offers dynamic dashboards that are individually customizable. These dashboards visualize important key figures and data clearly and understandably, allowing you to respond quickly to deviations. The user-friendly dashboards enable you to capture the most important information at a glance and make informed decisions. With Clouver, you can present your data in a way that is easily understandable and accessible for your team.

What Benefits Does Clouver Offer for Your Production?

OEE Analysis (Overall Equipment Effectiveness)

Clouver enables the analysis of Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) by monitoring the availability, performance, and quality of your machines. This analysis helps increase the efficiency of your production processes by identifying and eliminating bottlenecks. Continuous monitoring of OEE ensures that your machines are optimally utilized and production goals are achieved.

MTTR Optimization (Mean Time to Repair)

Through real-time fault detection and diagnosis, Clouver can optimize Mean Time to Repair (MTTR). This minimizes downtime and increases machine availability. Clouver detects faults early and automatically initiates maintenance measures, reducing repair time. This ensures that your machines are always operational and production processes run smoothly.

Predictive Maintenance

Clouver uses AI-based algorithms to predict potential failures and enable timely maintenance measures. This predictive maintenance helps avoid unplanned downtime and extend the lifespan of your machines. By accurately predicting maintenance needs, you can plan maintenance work precisely and further increase the efficiency of your production processes.

Automated Adjustments

Self-optimizing systems in Clouver automatically adjust operating parameters to ensure maximum availability and efficiency. These automated adjustments ensure that your machines are always optimally operated without the need for manual intervention. This allows you to further increase productivity while reducing operational costs.

How Can You Integrate Clouver into Your Existing Systems?

Clouver is modular and can be implemented gradually. This allows for flexible adaptation to the specific needs of your company. You can add the modules gradually and thus tailor the solution optimally to your requirements without impairing ongoing operations.

Clouver can be seamlessly integrated into your existing systems. This ensures that the Industrial Internet of Things solution can be implemented efficiently and without interruptions. The simple integration allows you to continue using your existing investments in machines and software while benefiting from the advantages of Industrial Internet of Things monitoring.

Clouver is scalable and can grow with your business. Whether you are a small company or operate a large production facility, Clouver adapts to your increasing requirements and remains effective. Scalability ensures that you can continue to benefit from the advantages of Industrial Internet of Things monitoring in the future.

Clouver can be adapted to the specific requirements of different industries. Whether you are in the automotive industry, food production, or another sector, Clouver offers tailor-made solutions that are precisely tailored to your needs. This adaptability makes Clouver the ideal choice for companies of all sizes and industries.

How Do You Benefit from Clouver in the Cutting and Separating Industry?

Clouver can be used in various cutting processes such as knife cutting, laser cutting, waterjet cutting, plasma cutting, and foam contour cutting. It offers tailor-made solutions to maximize efficiency and precision in these processes. By specifically adapting to the respective cutting processes, Clouver helps you increase production quality and reduce process times.

The implementation of Clouver should be carried out step by step, starting with a comprehensive needs analysis and the selection of the right Industrial Internet of Things platform. First, the relevant sensors and devices should be installed on the key machines. The next step is to integrate the data into Clouver, followed by training for your team to optimize the use of the solution. This structured approach ensures that the implementation runs smoothly and brings maximum benefits.

The implementation of Clouver can lead to significant cost savings by minimizing downtime and increasing productivity. A detailed economic consideration shows the return on investment (ROI) of the Industrial Internet of Things solution. By reducing downtime, optimizing spare parts logistics, and increasing overall productivity, the investment in Clouver pays off quickly and sustainably.
