Conveyor Belt Shaft Torque Monitoring

The Challenge

Chain systems are key in chocolate production. Abnormal torque can signal lack of lubrication, wear, or imminent failure — leading to downtime and costly repairs.

‍

The Goal

• Monitor shaft torque in real time
• Detect issues early
• Automate lubrication reminders

‍

The Approach

• Defined optimal torque ranges by combining filters, statistics tables, and input from shop floor experts.
• Calculated UCL and LCL from ideal averages and standard deviations, then configured Value-Based Searches to detect deviations.
• Set up automatic email alerts in the monitoring menu, including clear lubrication instructions when limits are exceeded.

Insight: Automated alerts turned maintenance into a proactive process, eliminating the need for manual tracking.
