Case Study: Bramburky detects pump faults earlier with Neuron Soundware sound and AI diagnostics

How Neuron soundware proved its worth in potato chip production

Bramburky, a producer of traditional Czech potato chips, faced a recurring problem with the frame of a key oil pump twisting, which led to misalignments, pump destruction, and costly production delays. To address this, they engaged vendor Neuron Soundware to compare its AI-powered acoustic diagnostics service against conventional vibration analysis to determine the best predictive maintenance solution.

Neuron Soundware implemented its sound and AI monitoring system alongside a conventional vibrodiagnostics setup. In a controlled test, Neuron's technology detected an anomaly after a 90-degree screw loosening, far earlier than the vibration system, which only reached a warning level after significant damage had already occurred. This early detection provided Bramburky's staff with much greater lead time to address issues, preventing unplanned downtime and avoiding financial losses of thousands of Euros per failure.
