Increasing quality requirements, stricter demands on traceability, more customer-specific projects, and shorter delivery times – the challenges for manufacturing companies are becoming increasingly diverse. To master them, automation, digitalization, and networking are essential prerequisites. In the field of component cleaning, Ecoclean supports digital transformation with the innovative cloud solution Ecoclean Connect.

The competitiveness and future viability of companies largely depend on how effectively and quickly they can respond to changing customer demands and markets. This includes rising quality expectations, seamless traceability of the value chain, punctuality, flexibility, and cost-effectiveness. The technical development of the machines required for manufacturing alone is not sufficient to meet these complex tasks. Customized software solutions are needed to minimize manual interventions and interfaces, ensure high transparency, and enable continuous networking.

Ecoclean Connect – Optimally capturing component cleaning

These requirements have been incorporated into the innovative cloud solution Ecoclean Connect. Defined data generated by the control system of the cleaning system are securely encrypted and transmitted to the cloud via a safe connection. They are stored, evaluated, analyzed, and intelligently linked in the IoT platform according to the latest technologies and infrastructures. The digitalization tool thus creates added value in the following areas:

- Condition Monitoring: Display of system status based on online data; process visualization including pre-settings and step chain display; operational data history; overview of key performance indicators (KPIs) such as utilization and efficiency; message archive and statistics.
- Documentation: Overview of all cleaning processes performed; individual reports for cleaning processes including process parameters; management of cleaning programs with version history and reporting; library for all important documents related to the system; timeline for key events.
- Production Planning: Display of Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) as well as availability and utilization; overview of runtime and throughput; location- and time-independent monitoring of all systems in the network (fleet management); message statistics.
- Predictive Maintenance: Display of system status at a selectable future point in time; targeted maintenance prognosis for pumps, heaters, valves, and filters; maintenance recommendations for creating maintenance plans and automated maintenance instructions.
- Connectivity: Connection to higher-level control structures via common interface protocols; optimized interface to Ecoclean Service; automatic email notification service.

The visualization is simple and clear via a dashboard on a desktop or tablet.
