Maltech struggled with inconsistent machine usage, costly breakdowns, and inefficient maintenance. Our smart solution provides real-time monitoring, predictive maintenance (including spare part alerts to boost sales), saving them thousands and boosting productivity.

Maltech, a leading provider of plastering machines in Thailand, faced significant challenges in effectively managing their fleet of M5 evolution machines. Traditional tracking methods were inaccurate, hindering maintenance scheduling and optimization. Furthermore, the unique electrical configuration of these machines presented a significant hurdle. Operating on a non-standard 42V power supply (unlike the readily available 220V or 380V systems) and lacking a neutral line, the risk of short circuits was a constant concern. This unusual setup made integrating a monitoring system particularly complex and required innovative solutions to ensure safety and reliability. Maltech needed a system that provided real-time insights into machine operation while navigating these unique electrical constraints.

We developed and implemented an innovative IoT solution to address Maltech’s needs, tackling the power challenges head-on. Our system provides real-time monitoring of their M5 evolution plastering machines, delivering critical data on usage, performance, and location. We engineered a specialized power management module to safely tap into the 42V supply, mitigating the risk of short circuits and ensuring stable operation. This custom-designed hardware, combined with our user-friendly platform, empowered Maltech to take control of their machine operations.

Safe and Reliable Operation: The system operates safely and reliably within the constraints of the M5’s unique 42V power system, eliminating the risk of short circuits and ensuring continuous operation. Description: Integrating our industrial IoT monitoring system, built with Node-RED for seamless device integration, with the M5’s non-standard 42V power supply, which lacks a neutral line, presented a significant electrical engineering challenge. Our custom-designed power management module addresses this challenge, mitigating the inherent risk of short circuits and ensuring the system’s safe and uninterrupted operation. This robust design provides Maltech with peace of mind, knowing their construction equipment and personnel are protected.

20% Reduced Downtime: Reduced downtime by 20% through real-time monitoring and alerts. Description: Real-time monitoring, powered by our industrial IoT solution, provides instant visibility into the status of each machine. Automated alerts, facilitated by MQTT for reliable communication, notify Maltech’s service team of potential issues before they escalate into major breakdowns. This proactive approach has significantly reduced downtime by 20%, ensuring smoother construction operations and minimizing project delays.

40,000 Baht Saved Per Motor (Estimated): Prevented at least 3-4 instances of motor overloading, saving the client approximately 40,000 Baht per motor in replacement costs. Description: Our comprehensive overload protection, a key feature of our industrial IoT solution, continuously monitors motor current, preventing the conditions that lead to costly motor damage. By preventing just a few instances of overloading, the system has already saved Maltech an estimated 40,000 Baht per motor in replacement costs, significantly impacting their bottom line in construction equipment maintenance.

Enhanced Safety: Motor current monitoring helped prevent overloading, reducing the risk of accidents and equipment damage. Description: Safety is paramount in any construction environment. Our system’s continuous motor current monitoring, a vital component of our industrial IoT solution, helps prevent overloading, a common cause of accidents and equipment damage. By mitigating this risk, we’ve contributed to a safer working environment for Maltech’s clients and their personnel.
