AI-assisted Production Monitoring

Inuse, a French company that Addnode Group has invested in and partnered with since 2019, develops customized solutions for industry and smart buildings. The technology is optimized with AI functionality.

Alpenland Maschinenbau GmbH (ALPMA) is a global market leader in mechanical engineering for the dairy industry. ALPMA has launched the Inuse platform ALPMA Connect as its digital IoT platform to gain a real-time overview of its ALPMA machines. The platform includes smart digital tools, such as AI-based troubleshooting, production optimization, on-site cleaning analyses, and more efficient cheese cutting. Analyzing data from the machines enables preventive maintenance to be carried out and production processes to be optimized. Featuring a support and video assistance system and easy ordering of spare parts, the platform improves production efficiency and reduces downtime, which in turn eases the workload of the company’s service teams.

Since the launch, calls to service centers have been reduced by 30 percent, and customers’ water consumption is estimated to have decreased by 20 percent. These quality enhancements and cost savings have been achieved while also maintaining high production quality.
