Case Study: ArcelorMittal avoids €900k in production losses with ACOEM vibration analysis

ArcelorMittal avoids €900k in losses with ACOEM vibration analysis

ArcelorMittal, a major steel manufacturer, faced the challenge of guaranteeing operational reliability at its hot rolling mill in France, where unplanned downtime from catastrophic machinery failure could result in massive financial losses. To move from reactive to preventive maintenance, they partnered with vendor ACOEM to implement a hybrid vibration monitoring solution.

ACOEM's solution combined online MV-x and offline FALCON systems to monitor critical machinery. This system detected a critical 180% increase in vibration on a reducer bearing, allowing for a planned €30,000 replacement that averted an estimated €930,000 in production losses. This resulted in €900,000 of avoided losses for ArcelorMittal and powerfully validated their predictive maintenance strategy and trust in ACOEM's effectiveness.
