USE CASE — BUILDING MATERIALS
Placoplatre: a plant under continuous watch, from mechanics to fluid
Process fans, production belts, transmissions and lubricants: Monixo's flagship deployment combines predictive maintenance and continuous oil analysis on a single platform.
Monitored equipment & environment
Process fans, production belts, motors, transmissions, gearboxes and lubricated circuits.
What the client set out to solve
Moving from systematic preventive maintenance to condition-based maintenance, including in hard-to-reach areas.
How the solution answers the need
Continuous monitoring of vibration, temperature and acoustic signals, complemented by FluidMiner to track oil and lubricant quality in real time: viscosity, additives, TAN/TBN, wear metals, oxidation, water and soot, ISO 4406 particle counting.
Contamination & wear: ASTM D5185 for wear-metal and additive analysis, ASTM E2412 for infrared tracking of soot, water and oxidation.
Particle counting: ISO 4406.
The business impact
A unified view of mechanical health and fluid health, more precise diagnostics, and condition-based maintenance deployable across several industrial units.
What comes next?
Monixo's flagship reference project: the deployment is designed to extend to new equipment families and progressively integrate fluid monitoring into everyday maintenance practice.
