Pilot 2 - BIESSE: Diagnostics and IoT Services

Summary

Woodworking is getting an upgrade

Since 1969, BIESSE has been a stalwart in designing, producing, and marketing technologies and solutions for the woodworking industry, from carpentry to large furniture, windows, and wooden building components. But BIESSE doesn't stop there! They are also expanding into the realm of plastic processing machines, catering to a rapidly growing market. Its latest project has set its sights on revolutionizing CNC (computer numerical control) machines, with the goal of improving data quality, consistency, and integrity. Why, you ask? Because it paves the way for game-changing diagnostic tools that have the potential to:

- Reduce machine breakdowns

- Detect early degradation

- Increase productivity.

- Elevate product quality

The i4Q solution involves additive and virtual sensors, edge computing architecture, and IoT functionalities. This data will power Biesse’s Decision Support System and predictive maintenance algorithms, enabling them to:

- Detect degradation before faults

- Predict critical issues in advance

- Identify inappropriate machine usage

But here's the kicker – these algorithms thrive on reliable data. So, we're conducting rigorous test cycles to acquire quality data from every meaningful device wired into our system. The results are promising, and we're gearing up for:

- Improved data quality

- Enhanced data consistency

- Optimized data integrity

- Advanced diagnostics capability

- Elevated product quality

- Increased machine productivity

The machines will even feature simulation capabilities, allowing us to fine-tune programs before execution, minimizing rejects due to planning or configuration errors. Join the i4Q community and stay tuned for more updates and insights as we work towards a future of precision, productivity, and excellence in woodworking.
