About the customer
Based in Wuhan, Hubei, FiberHome develops and manufactures optical communication equipment.
The challenge
Binders: The binders on the stranding lines in workshops 1 and 2 wrap binder yarn around the cable core.
A stop mid-run can scrap a length
Stranding produces continuous lengths, so a binder that stops mid-run can leave a length that has to be cut out or scrapped.
High-speed parts wear fast
Yarn pots and reel shafts run fast, so their bearings and motors wear quickly and can fail suddenly.
Nothing is visible behind the guards
Binder heads and bearing blocks sit behind guards, so operators cannot see or hear early changes during production.
Monitored equipment and installation
Value
Spool-shaft motors alert on baseline drift
Vibration from the spool-shaft motors is sampled on a fixed schedule and compared with its own baseline; an alert goes out when a change is confirmed.
Bearing-block trends filed with the asset
The binder bearing blocks' vibration level and temperature trends are filed with the asset, giving both workshops a basis for maintenance scheduling.
