Set aside thousands of euros every year for machine damage – or use digital support to perform proven preventive maintenance?

How a production manager used Cosmino Panteo to solve an expensive maintenance problem easily and effectively.

Last year, Mr. Müller was caught out several times:

The nozzle on an injection molding machine was defective—repairs were expensive each time, and downtime was painful. The reason was always the same: regular cleaning of the nozzle after each hour of operation was forgotten.

Although the machine operator was supposed to document the cleaning on a paper receipt, in reality the note often got lost or was only filled out retrospectively.

And when damage occurred, the tedious search for evidence began:
leafing through files, checking notes, hoping to find something reliable. But how reliable is a signature on paper? Paper is patient.

Mr. Müller knew:
Such a critical maintenance point must not depend on chance or the memory of individuals.

He decided to secure the task digitally  – with Cosmino Panteo´s online dialogue.

Since then, the system automatically displays the following message after every hour of operation: „Clean nozzle – required now.“
The machine operator confirms completion directly on the terminal.
Without this confirmation, the message remains clearly visible and prevents other entries from being made.

Cosmino Panteo records the exact due date and the actual date of completion – automatically, completely, and traceably.

And if it still isn’t cleaned?

Then the following additional safeguard remains: After a defined period of time, Cosmino Panteo can stop the machine or send a notification to the maintenance manager.

The result: a clear process and measurable benefits

• No more forgotten cleaning tasks
• Binding documentations – not „just noted“, but verified
• Traceable at the touch of a button – instead of searching through folders
• Fewer downtimes and no more broken nozzles
• Savings of several thousand euros per year

Today, Mr. Müller looks back and is certain that he made the right decision:

„We solved a real problem with a simple digital reminder.
Maintenance is reliable, we save money, and I can prove when what was done in case of an emergency. For me, that´s exactly what future-proof manufacturing is about.“
