The Challenge
Testing a Retrofit Solution for Automated Warehouses
HÖRMANN Digital aimed to test a retrofit solution enabling predictive maintenance of automated warehouse facilities. Facing diverse machinery and equipment across multiple test locations, the organization sought a proof of concept to identify and resolve potential issues before operational interruptions occurred.
The need was for an advanced, scalable system that could integrate with existing infrastructure to forecast failures and boost operational efficiency.
The Solution
End-to-End Predictive Maintenance with AWS MONITRON
Tactical Edge helped deploy AWS’s MONITRON system - an end-to-end predictive maintenance platform - across two large-scale Proof of Concepts. MONITRON uses AI and IoT sensors to monitor equipment for potential failures, delivering real-time alerts for preventive action.
The system was implemented across key machinery to enable early anomaly detection and reduce unplanned downtime. The deployment was completed in weeks rather than months, with Tactical Edge’s white-glove onboarding ensuring minimal disruption to ongoing operations.
“Tactical Edge’s commitment to our success was unparalleled. Their team went the extra mile to support us hands-on, even on short notice, and their executive leadership demonstrated a deep understanding of our objectives. My team greatly benefited from Tactical Edge’s expertise in designing and deploying predictive maintenance solutions. Their white-glove service ensured that we achieved the best possible outcome in our test scenario. I wholeheartedly recommend Tactical Edge as a partner for any manufacturing company’s digital transformation journey.”
