Mixers, extruders and curing presses run in heat, pressure and abrasive compounds. PlantOps360 keeps their preventive maintenance, mould and bladder tracking, and spares in one system.
A tyre plant has a long chain of machines. If one stage stops, the stages after it run out of material within hours.
Internal mixers draw very high loads, and bearings, rotors and drives wear fast.
Presses depend on steam, hydraulics and controls. Each press that is down is lost output.
Moulds and bladders have a limited life and quality risk when worn, but tracking use is manual.
Leaks and failures in the utilities that feed the presses cause stoppages and energy loss.
A plant uses hundreds of part types across mixing, extrusion, building and curing.
Vehicle makers and large customers examine maintenance records as part of supplier audits.
Pre-configured preventive schedules, inspection checklists and condition parameters for the equipment that sets a tyre plant's output. Hover any card to see failure modes, checklists and sensors.
Four everyday situations in a tyre or rubber plant, before and after PlantOps360.
Press stoppages are noted on shift sheets, and nobody can say which presses stop most or why.
Each stoppage is recorded against the press with a cause. The worst presses and the top causes are listed for any period.
Cycles on moulds and bladders are counted on paper or not at all, so changes are late or early.
Moulds and bladders are tracked as assets with cycle counts and change reminders.
Leaks are noticed in passing and reported by word of mouth.
Leak rounds are recorded with photos and create work orders, so repairs are assigned and closed.
A mixer fault is discovered when the batch temperature climbs or the drive trips.
Motor current, vibration and temperature are trended. A rising trend opens a work order for the next planned stop.
A plain-language summary of what each one asks of maintenance, and where PlantOps360 fits.
This is a plain-language summary for orientation. Always follow the current text of each law and standard, and the rules of your own site and licence.
Three real situations, step by step, and where each step happens in PlantOps360.
One stopped press is one lost cycle after another.
