Caterpillar Enhances Preventative Maintenance

PROCEED Optimizes Preventative Maintenance (Case Study) - 5129 Case Study

Challenge
A fleet of 40 pieces of construction equipment must be available 24/7 to finish a job. There’s no spare time in the project, so maintenance has to mesh with operations. Data from sensors on the equipment exceeds the ability of maintenance personnel to interpret it.

Key Results:

Caterpillar uses PROCEED models to drive preventative actions, reducing costs and increasing uptime. The PROCEED Solution
PROCEED finds knowledge in the chaos of information, models it and gives the owners a way to prevent crippling failures while minimizing cost Data PROCEED Actions Results
Gigabytes of data recorded from over 100 sensor channels is collected from a fleet of construction equipment of varying ages.Experts working with the PROCEED software create a model which maps input sensor signals to output sensor results. The models then switch from historical to real-time data.PROCEED alerts the customer to the action priority for each piece of equipment.Caterpillar uses the PROCEED software to prevent 80 machine-days of downtime and results in a 40% reduction in consumables. Results Caterpillar uses the PROCEED software to prevent 80 machine-days of downtime and results in a 40% reductionin consumables.
