What's Happening?
Samson AG, a German valve manufacturer, has successfully implemented a machine monitoring system developed by 3D Signals to enhance its production efficiency. The initiative was spearheaded by Andreas Widl, CEO and COO of Samson AG, who sought innovative solutions during a visit to Israel. The Frankfurt plant, previously lacking organized data on machine operations, now benefits from a sensor-agnostic system that tracks machine status and production details. This upgrade has resulted in a 30% increase in efficiency and significant electricity cost savings. The system installation was straightforward, requiring minimal preparation and wiring time, and has been integrated into other Samson plants.
