Case Study: Aarbakke extends CNC machine lifetime and reduces downtime with Cognite Data Fusion

How Aarbakke and Cognite Are Extending the Lifetime of CNC Machines

Aarbakke, a Norwegian manufacturing company, wanted to predict failures before they happened and improve operations across its CNC machine fleet. With help from Cognite and its Industrial DataOps platform, Cognite Data Fusion™, Aarbakke set out to address suboptimal machine operation, missing alarm visibility, and delayed maintenance that were leading to breakdowns and unplanned stops.

Cognite helped Aarbakke centralize machine alarm data into a dashboard that groups alarms by machine and issue, giving engineers a clearer view of critical problems and enabling targeted maintenance. The solution is expected to reduce service costs by 20–30%, lower downtime, and avoid unplanned stops, while also helping extend machine lifetime and improve future failure prediction.
