Pillar 03 · MaintenanceWatch the signals

Reactive maintenance is the most expensive kind

Most failures show up in the data hours before they show up on the floor. PackGuru watches the signals you already have — capper torque, vacuum pressure, motor temperature, vision frames — and asks for a fix before the line slows down

Eight maintenance use cases

Capper

Torque drift

FlexiCapper torque profile starts to wander. PackGuru flags it, suggests likely cause and creates the work order

Caught before reject spike — three rejects per shift, not three per minute
Delta robot

Vacuum pipe degradation

Pick-time creeps up by 30 ms. The vacuum hose has lost suction. PackGuru tells maintenance to replace it this week

Replace the hose before throughput drops, not after
Sealing

O-ring wear on cappers

Pressure-spike pattern signals a seal change. Action goes out before the leak

A failing seal caught early = thousands of units saved
Motors

AC motor overheat

Clogged filters from foam interlayers detected from temperature curve, not from a hand check

Foam → filter → motor — caught at step one
Vision

Vision-system collisions

System catches its own collision frames and tells you when LED or belt needs cleaning

Fewer collisions = fewer stoppages = more bottles per shift
Multicarrier

Friction trending

Predicts which carrier needs disassembly before it becomes a stop

Service the right carrier, not the whole batch
Capping

Head deflection

Detected from a deflection-curve anomaly — caught at fitting, not at failure

A worn spring caught early saves 9,000 bottles
TransNova

Suction analysis

Co-deployed palletizer cycles tracked end-to-end. Suction loss flagged before the pick fails

Pallet doesn't fail — pick doesn't fail — line doesn't stop
Anchor case study

Up to 960 bottles/hr recovered through maintenance insights alone. No new sensors. Just better use of the data that was already there
