Case Study: Mayekawa boosts compressor efficiency and cuts costs with Cumulocity IIoT

Mayekawa connects 170+ devices and improves compressor efficiency with Cumulocity

Mayekawa, a manufacturer of industrial cooling and heating systems, faced the challenge of digitalizing its compressor business to offer new service-based solutions. They needed to reduce customer maintenance costs and energy expenditure but struggled to decide whether to build a complex IoT platform in-house or buy an inflexible off-the-shelf product. They partnered with vendor Cumulocity to implement a solution.

Using Cumulocity's IoT platform, including its Streaming Analytics, Mayekawa developed its "Mayekawa 4.0" solution to remotely monitor sensorized compressors. This enabled predictive maintenance and the development of a machine learning engine to optimize operations. The results included connecting over 170 devices, processing 4.2 million data transactions weekly, and delivering tangible energy and cost savings that improved customer experience and ROI. Cumulocity provided the foundational platform that made this transformation possible.
