SmartService 360 – digitalization makes it possible
We are continually enhancing our predictive maintenance solutions. Our SmartService 360 portfolio monitors the components of a wide range of systems, including third-party solutions. Although standardized solutions are on offer, your individual requirements are always at the heart of how we act and think as partners.
The basis for predictive maintenance is condition monitoring, which uses artificial intelligence to identify patterns in historical sensor data. When comparing with the current values, statements about the condition can be made. The results are used to predict the best time to perform necessary maintenance and the service life of a component. With our SmartService 360 portfolio, you benefit from optimized maintenance scheduling and execution with just-in-time measures. You can realize higher operational availability, greater efficiency and productivity, and boost competitiveness.
Innovative technology optimizes the service processes
Condition data from sensors is preprocessed through edge computing. The results are sent via a secure connection to cloud-based, open IoT operating systems for further analysis. Tools such as machine learning, pattern recognition, and trend determination analyze the data and calculate the best time to perform maintenance work.
The results are displayed on dashboards. Service teams use the details to call up recommended courses of action for necessary measures. These are then performed at the optimum time and not merely according to the maintenance schedule, which might indeed be too early or late.

Sorter 360
The rollers of the sorter carriers are monitored by stationary sensors to detect wear. This can be recognized by unbalanced movements and deviations in carrier height. Sensors also check the vibrations and evenness of the sorter tracks, as well as forces acting upon the chain.
Energy 360
Our energy management application allows capturing key metrics on the energy consumption of individual components of a BHS. The obtained data helps optimize energy consumption and predict future load scenarios, making the system more efficient.
TrayFleet 360
No more highly time-consuming manual tray inspection: TrayFleet 360’s cameras identify damages and dirt on the front and back rollers as well as tray inlay. Advanced software analyzes the images and rates the condition of the components from new to defective. Sensors also measure tray vibration to detect roller misalignment.
Motor 360
Increasing trends in the nominal current, which indicates an impending major breakdown, are identified by monitoring the start/stop currents for the drive motors over a longer period. Data from the motor controllers is collected and analyzed without using separate sensors.
Carousel 360
Stationary sensors detect vibrations and blocked or broken rollers, as well as the wear and tear of the carousel’s metal structure. Mobile sensors also monitor the condition of the tracks. A load pin integrated into the drive chain registers the forces acting on the drive chain – to detect faulty chain tension, worn-out friction belts, and incorrect drive settings early on.
