Machine Pagès enhances robotics reliability with predictive maintenance and IoT
Machine Pagès, a French manufacturer of robots for plastics processing, modernized its operations by deploying a Microsoft Azure-based IoT platform. This platform connects industrial robots for real-time operational oversight, predictive maintenance, and enhanced customer service experiences. The system was built in collaboration with Rockwell Automation, who delivered Power BI-powered dashboards, providing detailed machine status monitoring. The architecture aggregates production and sensor data for analytics, enabling the identification and rapid correction of machine performance declines or increased rejection rates. Customers and operators access supervisory functions via a mobile app, which offers clear insights into robot health and operational efficiency. The Azure secure-by-design framework provides security assurances to customers. This transformation improves process reliability, increases automation, and drives customer satisfaction, showcasing the next step in Industry 4.0 for manufacturing.
