Nippon Gases expands its SymphonyAI Industrial deployment across Europe to optimize manufacturing machine performance and reduce operational risks
The industrial and medical gas provider signs long-term agreement for SymphonyAI’s APM 360™ solution
Woburn, MA – March 14, 2023 – SymphonyAI Industrial, a SymphonyAI division, announced today that European industrial and medical gases company Nippon Gases has signed a long-term agreement to extend its use of APM 360™ to improve asset performance supporting plant operations and output across its fleet of European plants.
The APM 360 asset predictive maintenance solution monitors overall machine health with real-time prescriptive monitoring and predictive maintenance for critical plant equipment, such as compressors, high-voltage motors, turbines, heat exchangers, and pre-purifiers. APM 360 uses IIoT, AI, failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA), and physics to provide anomaly detection with automated cause analysis and advisories. This combination of capabilities identifies complex, dynamic machinery patterns that ensure critical manufacturing machinery operates at its peak.
“SymphonyAI Industrial’s APM 360 and its team of talented engineers have proven themselves to take our reliability program to the next level,” said Nippon Gases Reliability Manager Europe Ben Engels. “The solution enabled us to take advantage of the huge amount of data we capture to make data-driven decisions that help keep our plants running with optimal performance.”
“We are delighted to expand our relationship with Nippon Gases,” said Dominic Gallello, CEO of SymphonyAI Industrial. “The combination of our third-generation machine reasoning-based AI capabilities and our deep engineering talent density to deliver a successful implementation is our formula for user and customer success.”
