Case Study: Ahlstrom-Munksjö increases machine reliability with TRACTIAN

How Munksjo Increased Reliability with Prescriptive Insights

Ahlstrom-Munksjö, a global leader in fiber-based materials, faced challenges with machine reliability and unplanned downtime at its long-established plant. Their existing outsourced maintenance provided only delayed, monthly reports, making accurate and timely maintenance difficult. To address this, they turned to TRACTIAN and its condition monitoring system.

By implementing TRACTIAN's wireless sensors, the company gained real-time, remote monitoring of machine health. The solution quickly detected specific failures, such as bearing issues, allowing repairs before catastrophic breakdowns. This prescriptive insight prevented costly motor failures, saving the company from expensive replacements and significantly reducing unplanned downtime. The success led Ahlstrom-Munksjö to rapidly expand its deployment of TRACTIAN sensors across the facility.
