Kobelon | C-BEYOND Digital Platform and VibeTrack Monitoring System: Efficient Mixing Production Based on Data

The requirements faced by modern compounding processes are constantly increasing. Higher production efficiency, excellent equipment availability, transparent production data, and sustainable use of resources have all become key factors in achieving economic benefits. With the help of the digital platform C-BEYOND and the condition monitoring system VibeTrack, Coperion provides a powerful solution for blending enterprises to optimize their production processes.

Utilizing C-BEYOND to achieve transparency and high efficiency

C-BEYOND can connect to extrusion systems and provide all relevant operational and process data centrally in the cloud. Important key performance indicators (KPIs) such as equipment availability, output, product quality, and overall equipment efficiency (OEE) can be evaluated in real-time and presented in reliable and user-friendly analytical charts. The system can also send configurable alerts to operators or production engineers in real-time, thereby avoiding waste generation or preventing equipment shutdown.

Users can clearly grasp the operational performance of individual extruders and the entire production base at any time. In addition, it is possible to identify development trends early, optimize production processes in a targeted manner, and make scientific decisions based on this.

Another advantage of C-BEYOND is reflected in the optimization of production plans. The system can provide real-time production progress information, making order switching preparation more efficient and reducing equipment downtime. Production interruptions caused by formula switching, maintenance tasks, or other operational shutdowns will be automatically recorded by C-BEYOND, and operators can also provide relevant information. Through these data insights, enterprises can identify the reasons for downtime and explore long-term optimization potential.

Realizing sustainable development through data-driven energy transparency

With the help of C-BEYOND's Sustain App, users can finely monitor energy consumption at the factory and equipment component levels. This platform can collect real-time energy consumption data of extruders and related auxiliary equipment, laying the foundation for developing targeted energy efficiency optimization measures.

Based on these energy consumption data, the carbon dioxide (CO ₂) emissions generated during the production process of each kilogram of product can also be calculated. This provides valuable information for businesses to achieve sustainable development goals, reduce energy waste, and utilize resources more efficiently.

VibeTrack: A state monitoring system for achieving excellent device availability

As a supplement to C-BEYOND, the state monitoring system VibeTrack further expands the capabilities of digital device monitoring. This system is specifically designed for ZSK 40 to ZSK 140 modelsDouble screw extruderDevelopment can detect subtle changes in operational behavior in a timely manner before they evolve into unplanned failures.

Installed on the motorgearboxAnd the sensors in the process section will continuously collect vibration data. In addition, VibeTrack also monitors the condition of the gearbox lubricating oil. When the critical threshold is reached, the system will automatically issue an alert.

Continuous state monitoring enables proactive maintenance planning. Necessary maintenance work can be arranged in a timely manner before expensive subsequent damage or unplanned production interruptions occur. This not only improves equipment availability, but also helps to maintain a high level of production efficiency in the long term.

As part of the service agreement, a certified team of experts can remotely access measurement results and conduct regular in-depth analysis of device status. Once an abnormal situation is detected, we will take immediate action, provide timely support, and provide clear recommendations for handling.

Sensors installed on motors, gearboxes, and process sections will continuously collect vibration data.

Digital services covering the entire lifecycle of devices

C-BEYOND and VibeTrack together form a powerful foundation for data-driven production and service processes. C-BEYOND provides transparent management of production performance, energy consumption, and process data, while VibeTrack ensures continuous monitoring of equipment status.

By correlating production data, energy data, and equipment status data, enterprises can operate production facilities more efficiently, plan maintenance measures more targetedly, and better support their sustainable development goals.

Therefore, Kebilon's digital solutions run through the entire lifecycle of customer equipment, with the goal of continuously improving production efficiency, equipment availability, and sustainable development levels.
