Introduction
A major motorbike manufacturer manufactures about 3 million bikes annually and sells them across the
globe. With its three huge bike-building plants in India, the organization covers almost 100 companies
under its umbrella.
Need
➢ One of the manufacturing facility has a Plastic Line Top-coat exhaust line that paints the automotive
components and despatches them for further assembly. This competent Line is directly associated with
the efficiency of the plant.
➢ The exhaust line is powered with a Nadi blower-motor which is supported by a shaft and the Plummer
block. As the block facilitates the smooth movement of the bearings and the rotating shaft, monitoring
this block is essential.
➢ Malfunctioning of this line results in jamming the bearings and consequently cause the failure of the
entire line.
➢24/7 monitoring this line is critical and vital.

Introduction
With its head office in India, an automotive company has a potential of producing 4 million wheelers per
annum. The public sector-oriented organization has 5 manufacturing plants and a human asset of around
25000.
Need
➢ One of the Metal line Paint shops which is well-ventilated has the potential of painting approximately
350 vehicles in a day.
➢ The inhouse condition monitoring team schedules periodic maintenance to prevent the shutdown of
the plant. However, it was noticed the exhaust fan used in ventilation often operated in a disturbed
manner causing unhygienic conditions for the workforce and an increase in the cure time of the
vehicles.
➢Regular and precautionary maintenance failed to improve fan efficiency. Hence a quick-solution to detect
the cause of the lowering performance of the fan and find the root cause of its deterioration was
required.
➢The Company wanted to investigate without compromising the infrastructure, ensuring the safety of the
workforce and also sustaining consistent plant operations.
