monitor its machine drives and other equipment. While this scheduled maintenance routine catches many issues, what about the potential for failure in between?

The paper mill installed the SKF Axios wireless predictive maintenance solution on several of its paper machine drives. Within a month, the system sent three alerts showing an anomaly on a motor. A secondary check with an SKF Microlog and found the motor had electrical rotor bar issues.

Thanks to alerts from SKF Axios, the on-site vibration team was able to conduct a deeper dive and recommend replacement of the motor due to worn and loose rotor bars. As a result, SKF Axios helped the mill save $60,000 in unplanned downtime and lost production.
