Kvik – Maximizing Uptime and Efficiency with Usage-Based Maintenance Through Opticloud

Extra Production Time – From Time-Based to Usage-Based Maintenance
Challenges:
Wasted time during maintenance.
Maintenance based on fixed time intervals.

Results for Machines with 24/7 Operation:
Approximately 4 fewer services per year = ~40 additional production hours annually.

Results for Machines with Single-Shift Operation or Less:
Around 50% fewer service hours.

Increased Uptime
Challenges:
Lack of clarity on uptime.
No insight into downtime causes.
Manual entry of downtime reasons.
Invalid data.

Results:
5% increase in uptime.
Automatic downtime cause logging.
Valid and reliable data.
Microstop tracking.
Fewer interruptions.

“We use the Opticloud service module to send notifications.
We now perform maintenance based on desired operating hours instead of fixed time intervals.
This makes us much more efficient and saves us unnecessary maintenance and downtime.”

“The Opticloud service module sends an email to a dedicated Outlook calendar. A day is automatically booked 7 days ahead in the calendar.
The service team then has 7 days to plan the exact day for performing maintenance on the machine.”
