Goals and challenges
Having such a widespread market with customers in many countries is one of MTA‘s greatest achievements.
At the same time, this can represent a challenge when an equipment requires constant and accurate monitoring.
The availability of real-time and historical data, the glanceable dashboards, the ability to remotely change settings, the automatic notification of failures or malfunctioning are all critical aspects of our business. Meeting these challenges and being proactive in managing O&M issues is the foundation of our continuous improvement approach.
How did you meet Rilheva?
We wanted to implement a predictive service that would allow us to more efficiently schedule the routine maintenance of our equipment, promptly identifying anomalous situations. To achieve this and act quickly on the plant, we needed to remotely monitor our equipmentand collect performance data. In the remote monitoring services landscape, Xeo4’s Rilheva solution stood out thanks to its completeness, competitiveness and straightforward integration with our control systems.
Rilheva solves
In order to identify non compliant operations it is necessary to have a great amount of collected data, gathered over an extended period of time.
Having Rilheva permanently installed on our equipment has allowed us to identify anomalous behaviours and find the appropriate solutions.
What we learned from Rilheva experience supported our R&D in developing new and improved products.
