When it comes to industries like palm, rubber, tea and sugar – there are two concerns you have as a business owner. Are you producing consistent, quality output? And are you taking care of your critical assets at the same time? While these are two entirely valid problems themselves, your output quality is tied to your asset health at the end of the day.
If the parameters for your machinery, e.g., motors and pumps, are not set optimally – you would be producing outputs of varying quality. This is a problem when you manually do this, as machine malfunctions or voltage spikes can alter outputs that the end consumer may complain about. In an industry where taste buds are involved, this is a real problem. At the same time, not having set parameters or being able to compare real-time values with those set parameters means you will not have an estimate of the remaining machine life or upcoming failures.
IoT-enabled solutions can gather data through accurate and robust sensors that keep you informed about various parameters, withering temperatures and durations, and motor temperatures. This data can then be analysed to understand what works best for your product by helping you identify ideal durations and temperatures.
What MADS also does is monitor your critical asset health round the clock. By monitoring real-time values, like electricity consumption, voltage, furnace temperatures, and measuring against parameters, MADS is able to quickly detect and alert you about potential problems, giving you a solid headstart on taking care of them.
