Transparency on investments and energy costs for customers of ALLRECO GmbH
ALLRECO GmbH needed an innovative, scalable, and flexible solution for visualizing data from its sensor-equipped systems, which can consist of several individual machines.
With NimBit and IoTBreeze, ALLRECO has found a solution that gives its customers deep insights into the production data of their plants, provides information on energy efficiency, and, for the first time, also determines the actual energy costs per ton of the respective end product produced.
The company and its challenges
ALLRECO GmbH is a supplier of machines and systems for processing waste wood, household and commercial waste, biomass, and producing substitute fuels. ALLRECO offers its customers a comprehensive range of separation technology, from drum screeners and star and spiral wave screens to vibrating screens. ALLRECO also offers special technology, for example for mixing or density separation. Above all, ALLRECO has a highly qualified team that translates customer requirements into tailor-made machines and systems. Special solutions are not uncommon.
This makes the high quality of the machines used and the service provided by suppliers all the more important. ALLRECO is also committed to sustainability and mainly offers machines with electric drives. This change is aimed not only at reducing CO2 emissions, but also at increasing added value and cost efficiency.
In a market where fluctuating energy prices have a significant impact on profitability, ALLRECO uses advanced IoT technology to make informed operational decisions.
Requirements and Targets
Facing volatile energy prices that impact the profitability of recycling operations, ALLRECO needed a way to optimize machine utilization and improve overall efficiency. The company chose a solution that provides real-time insights into production costs, machine performance, and fault diagnosis to improve decision-making and operational efficiency.
The solution – More transparency for a better overview
ALLRECO implemented NimBit IoTBreeze, an innovative IoT product that provides comprehensive dashboards for monitoring machine errors, efficiency, idle times, and working hours. This solution enables ALLRECO to:
Optimizing energy costs:
By integrating current energy prices, ALLRECO's dashboards enable the company to determine the most cost-effective times to operate its machines, ensuring maximum profitability. Efficiency reports highlight idle time and underutilized capacity, allowing users to minimize downtime and maximize throughput.
Optimizing output:
For customers looking to increase productivity, NimBit IoTBreeze provides detailed visualizations of machine operation.
Consolidated machine data:
NimBit IoTBreeze aggregates data from multiple machines, providing a holistic overview of all connected devices.
This integration shows how different machines interact and contribute to the overall efficiency of the recycling process.
Improved troubleshooting:
By improving visibility into fault conditions, NimBit IoTBreeze helps identify root causes and correlations of machine faults.
This remote troubleshooting capability is particularly beneficial for ALLRECO's globally distributed machines, as it reduces the need for on-site support, saving time, costs, and labor.
Innovation powered by IoT
NimBit IoTBreeze's data collection and tagging capabilities offer numerous applications, including:
Enhanced safety:
Continuous monitoring ensures that machines are operated safely by enabling restrictions on non-ideal operating modes and unauthorized users.
Identification of bottlenecks:
By identifying bottlenecks in the processing chain, ALLRECO can optimize throughput and identify opportunities for integrating more suitable machines.
Predictive Maintenance:
Automatic anomaly detection facilitates predictive maintenance by identifying the optimal maintenance windows to avoid downtime.
Insightful reports:
Both ALLRECO and its customers benefit from detailed reports on machine usage, identified opportunities for improvement, and increased operational transparency.
Machine optimization::
The improved overview of machine performance provides OEMs with valuable feedback, promoting continuous improvement in machine performance.
Outcome and Outlook
IoTBreeze, ALLRECO has transformed its operations and now makes data-driven decisions that increase efficiency and profitability.
The flexible toolset of NimBit IoTBreeze enables ALLRECO to secure its position at the forefront of innovation in the recycling industry and continue to drive sustainability and efficiency.
