Case Study: Fersa Bearings achieves real-time production optimisation with Integrated Environmental Solutions

Fersa Bearings monitors 129 sensors in real time with Integrated Environmental Solutions

Integrated Environmental Solutions (IES) worked with Fersa Bearings, a Spanish automotive bearing manufacturer, to tackle the challenge of achieving zero-defect production. The customer needed a system to intelligently monitor its heavily instrumented production lines, detect faults in real-time, and allow remote oversight to reduce waste and assure quality.

IES implemented a specialized version of its iSCAN digital twin platform, collecting and analyzing data from 129 sensors at one-second intervals. This cloud-based solution provided Fersa Bearings with real-time dashboards and control optimization from any location, enabling near-instant adjustments to production. The project, an Industry 4.0 award winner, demonstrated significant progress towards reducing product variability and moving towards zero-defect manufacturing, and led to IES being recognized as a Key Innovator by the European Commission.
