European Machine Tools Manufacturer Reduces Unplanned Downtime by 40% with Digital Twin & Predictive Maintenance
A European machine tools manufacturer was experiencing frequent unplanned breakdowns across critical CNC machining lines, impacting production schedules, maintenance costs, and operational efficiency.
The Challenge: Unpredictable CNC Machine Failures
Despite routine preventive maintenance, failures remained difficult to predict, leading to lost production hours and reactive maintenance interventions.
"We were constantly reacting to breakdowns instead of preventing them."
- Frequent unplanned CNC machine breakdowns
- Average of 10+ lost production hours per month
- High emergency maintenance and repair costs
- No real-time machine health visibility
- Delayed fault identification and inconsistent maintenance planning
