🔧 Modernization of the Control System for Vacuum Furnace

🏭 Initial Situation
A medium-sized company in the aerospace industry operates a vacuum furnace used for heat-treating high-precision components. The outdated control system compromised process reliability and increased the risk of unplanned downtime. It also lacked modern energy efficiency and data analysis capabilities essential for Industry 4.0-compliant production.
 
🎯 Project Objective
Improve process reliability and system availability
Leverage energy-saving potential
Integrate digital interfaces for monitoring and analysis
Upgrade control technology to the latest standards
 
⚙️ Implementation
Control cabinet renewal with intelligent power electronics
New PLC system for precise control and real-time data processing
Energy efficiency measures: optimized power regulation reduced electricity consumption by 15%
DIGITAL SERVICE: remote monitoring with automated maintenance alerts
 
✅ Results
30% increase in system availability, with unplanned downtime nearly eliminated
Improved heat distribution, enhancing product quality
Digital transparency for maintenance and analysis

 

Heating Chamber Smart Repair and Upgrade

At a contract heat treatment company, parts of the heating system and insulation were destroyed due to an accident involving a complex batch, rendering the system inoperable.

Challenge

The system had been certified and commissioned for a customer, so it needed to be brought back into production quickly.

Solution by IVA Schmetz

Smart repair of the existing heating chamber using genuine IVA Schmetz parts and service personnel to quickly get the customer's production up and running again. Subsequently, a new heating chamber was designed and manufactured with optimized gas inlets and surface protection tailored to the customer's applications, which was installed during the next maintenance visit.

Result

The customer's production downtime was reduced to just a few days. In the future, the customer will have a replacement chamber tailored to their application and offering a high degree of production reliability.

🚚 Relocation of In-House Heat Treatment Facility
 
🏭 Challenge
Turnkey relocation of furnace systems and peripheral equipment, including disassembly, transport, and recommissioning at a new site with a different power supply.
 
🔧 Solution by IVA Schmetz
Assessment of the current state and preparation of a proposal for the professional transport of the systems to their new destination
Due to the differing voltage supply, frequency converters had to be installed on some of the aging systems
Optional offer for recommended wear parts
Employee training at the new site to ensure smooth recommissioning of the equipment
 
✅ Result
Rapid relocation of the systems and handover at the new site in coordination with the customer’s project manager
 
Final training by IVA Schmetz commissioning technicians enabled a fast and efficient start with the furnace technology at the new location
