VIPER - SF research project

Predictive maintenance and online process optimisation of processing machines

The aim of the VIPER research project was to Online process optimisation and Predictive maintenance in complex processing machines. In the future, the condition of the machines will be monitored on the basis of machine data recorded by sensors and the necessary action steps will be triggered automatically. In the future, it will also be possible for the machines involved to optimise the process parameters independently. AI makes this possible! Software Factory took on the role of data analysis in this highly exciting project - using the IIoT platform ThingWorx and the ThingWorx Analytics analysis tool. The project was supervised by the VDI/VDE. It was funded by the Bavarian State Ministry for Economic Affairs, Energy and Media. In addition to the Software Factory, other well-known project partners such as the Fraunhofer IGCV, ITQ Ltd, AMPACK GmbH (Syntegon, formerly Bosch Packaging Technology) and the HOSOKAWA ALPINE AG.
