About The Customer
ALSTOM Power Elblag Sp. z o.o. is a leading manufacturer of turbine castings, known for its high-quality products and innovative production processes. The company operates in a highly competitive global market where maintaining quality standards is essential for survival. With a workforce that includes about 30 operators and engineers, as well as a wide group of managers, ALSTOM Power is committed to optimizing its production processes to meet the demands of the market. The company produces over 400 tons of casts each month, making it a significant player in the turbine casting industry.
The Challenge
The global market for turbine castings has become highly competitive, with prices dropping by 50% over the last five years. In this environment, maintaining high quality standards while reducing costs and ensuring timely delivery is crucial for survival. ALSTOM Power Elblag Sp. z o.o. faced the challenge of optimizing its production processes to meet these stringent requirements. The company needed a comprehensive solution that could integrate production, data acquisition, database management, and statistical analysis to ensure quality and efficiency.
The Solution
To address its challenges, ALSTOM Power Elblag Sp. z o.o. implemented the STATISTICA Enterprise-wide SPC System (SEWSS). This integrated solution links production, data acquisition, database management, and statistical analysis. SEWSS continuously retrieves data from various stages of the production process, including the measurement of components and raw materials, monitoring of furnace charge and melted metal composition, and recording of heat treatment parameters. The system stores this data in an Oracle database and runs on a network server. The comprehensive analytical tools, flexible alarm notification, and interactive query facilities in SEWSS help ALSTOM Power maintain high-quality standards and optimize its production processes.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers
For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
