Case Study: SMC cuts air leakage costs and boosts predictive maintenance with Cumulocity

SMC saves 20% on compressed air costs with Cumulocity

smc, a manufacturer of pneumatic equipment, faced challenges with air leakage in its customers' machines, which resulted in unnecessary costs. The company needed to deploy an effective IoT-driven solution to bridge the gap between data detection and data capture. To address this, smc partnered with vendor Cumulocity.

Using the Cumulocity IoT platform, smc implemented a solution that required no coding and was set up in under 20 minutes. This provided sophisticated analytics and preventive maintenance capabilities. The results included a 20% decrease in costs from saved compressed air, the prevention of leakage to avoid downtime, and centralized smart analytics for predictive maintenance and energy efficiency monitoring.
