Smartenance is already being used successfully at Festo's Rohrbach plant


The future of maintenance management

Always available, up to date and ready for use, Smartenance brings maintenance management into the digital age. In the Rohrbach plant in Germany, the mobile digital maintenance manager is used to maintain a system with 17 robots. The “digital logbook” transforms Smartenance into a knowledge and communication platform for your maintenance team.

New system for manufacturing different variants

One of the biggest and most complex systems that is maintained using Smartenance in the Rohrbach plant is for manufacturing different variants. Since November 2019, it has manufactured several thousand different cylinder variants in many sizes and with different strokes, from the round cylinder DSNU and the compact cylinder ADN to the standards-based cylinders DSBC, DSBF and DNC. The average manufacturing time per cylinder is 25 seconds.

A total of 17 robots are used. Several thousand different cylinder variants are manufactured on the system.

Reliable and efficient thanks to digitised maintenance

The 17 robots used in the system are regularly serviced by six employees who are responsible for a total of around 120 maintenance tasks. The effort involved in documenting this mammoth undertaking is huge. The team relies on Smartenance for maximum reliability and efficiency in its maintenance tasks. Volker Neumüller, an employee in the Maintenance Processes division, recognised the benefits of digitised maintenance and was the driving force behind its use in the plant. Production managers can now define the tasks more easily and quickly, and use illustrations, videos or specific data sheets to prepare them so they are easier for employees to understand.

Positive feedback and further use

Volker Neumüller reports: “To ensure that Smartenance was tested on a broad basis, we defined a range of pilot systems, from a simple assembly workstation to complex production systems and assembly lines. The signs were good right from the beginning. Now, 106 users maintain and service 160 systems in Rohrbach and Wiebelskirchen. We continuously provide feedback so that the digital tool can be further improved.” Employees are regularly trained in order to enable them to maintain additional systems as quickly as possible using Smartenance.
