Case Study

Identification of malfunctions and anomalies in data quality and acquisition from sensors

CHOSEN BY

Goal of the company

  • Monitoring sensors functioning and data quality for multiple assets and machines

Main Scops features used

  • Detection of sensor malfunction
  • Condition Monitoring
  • Email Alerts
  • Analog & sensorized measurements monitoring & analysis
  • Data auditing & tracking

Overview

Faulty or poorly calibrated sensors were compromising data collection and subsequent machinery monitoring at one of our customer's plant. In fact, the engineering team was only able to discover these malfunctions after days or weeks. Delays in identifying sensor issues were limiting the ability to monitor machinery and generating a cost to the team, which then had to try to reconstruct the missing data. In addition, sensor malfunctions could cause failures and breakdowns in the sensorized machines.

With the use of Scops , the engineering team was able to quickly define logical condition monitoring checks for each sensor so that immediate alerts could be received as soon as a sensor's behavior was recognized as abnormal.

Our client has thus significantly reduced data loss, and faulty sensors are now identified immediately. Data quality is significantly increased now that Scops identifies abnormal values immediately. The maintenance team can now act promptly to replace malfunctioning sensors. Sensor calibration is also made much simpler by Scops, and engineers can now focus on calibration tasks for the sensors that need it most.

What our customers say about Scops

"Amazing tool"

Although in service for a very short time, it has already allowed us to: intercept plant drifts and therefore anticipate/avoid the occurrence of a severe failure on a strategic plant; identify areas of energy efficiency, and then establish specific project activities.

We particularly appreciate how simple it is to integrate Scops with company tools and how easy it is for operators to use.

Luigi G. - Plant and Maintenance Manager
"Towards a digital future driven by data"

We have found a tool to guide us in project choices, energy efficiency, plant management, and maintenance. A vital aspect is the passion, availability, and collaboration of the Quick Algorithm Team.

We have developed this software to our needs and requirements, with great design, management, and use flexibility. It suited our requests perfectly. We have developed a path to monitor the consumption and performance of our plants and digitize, manage, and monitor the maintenance performance of various assets.

Francesco S. - TECH. SYSTEMS MAINT. & OPERATION COORDINATOR
"Scops in support of energy-saving"

Centralized management of all energy consumption, with anomaly detection, plant heatmap, public dashboard, simulation of future consumption, etc. High level of user support, both during the implementation phase and subsequently.

A new approach to the use of data, automation of time-consuming operations, user satisfaction, and tangible benefits obtained quickly.

We centralized different sources in one software.

Silvia C. - ICT
"Scops - the owl guarding energy consumption"

The experience is very positive, especially concerning the continuous assistance and support of the developer team for implementing the platform and its constant integration with new functions.

The software integrates essential functions to comply with the regulatory framework regarding collecting and classifying energy data with advanced artificial intelligence functions that have accelerated and improved the energy management system.

With Scops, we centralized different data sources in one platform, customized to specific needs. We used algorithms to forecast and manage consumption.

Alessandro L. - Energy Manager
"Scops, an effective tool"

We have been able to use the product on different channels and have always found excellent results. This is why I also recommended its use to the company's international teams.

The product is easy to use, has all the features my company requires, and is constantly evolving. Furthermore, customer support is highly professional, helpful, and efficient.
