Increasing quality requirements, stricter demands on traceability, more customer-specific projects and shorter delivery times - the challenges for manufacturing companies are becoming increasingly diverse. Automation, digitalization and networking are essential prerequisites for mastering them. In the field of component cleaning, Ecoclean supports the digital transformation with the innovative cloud solution Ecoclean Connect.

This includes increasing quality requirements, seamless traceability of the value chain, adherence to delivery dates, flexibility and cost-effectiveness. The technical development of the machines required for production alone is not enough to fulfill these complex tasks. Adapted software solutions are needed that minimize manual intervention and interfaces, ensure a high level of transparency and enable end-to-end networking.
Ecoclean Connect - optimally capturing component cleaning
These requirements have been incorporated into the innovative Ecoclean Connect cloud solution. Defined data generated by the cleaning system's control unit is transmitted to the cloud in encrypted form via a secure connection. It is stored, evaluated, analyzed and intelligently linked in the IoT platform in accordance with the latest technologies and infrastructures. The digitalization tool thus creates added value in the following areas
- Condition monitoring: display of the system status based on online data; process visualization including preselections and step chain display; operating data history; overview of key performance indicators (KPI) such as capacity utilization and effectiveness; message archive and statistics.
- Documentation: Overview of all cleaning processes carried out; individual reports for cleaning processes including process parameters; management of cleaning programs with version history and reporting; library for all important documents relating to the system; timeline for important events.
- Production planning: Display of Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) as well as availability and capacity utilization; overview of runtime and throughput; location and time-independent monitoring of all systems in the system (fleet management); message statistics.
- Predictive maintenance: Display of the system status at a freely selectable time in the future; targeted maintenance forecast for pumps, heating, flaps and filters; maintenance recommendations for the creation of maintenance plans and automated maintenance instructions.
- Connectivity: Connection to higher-level control structures via common interface protocols; optimized interface to Ecoclean Service; automatic email notification service.
Visualization is simple and clear via a dashboard on a desktop or tablet.
