Nisthora for cement manufacturing.
Cement plants run kilns, mills and conveyors around the clock. An unplanned kiln stop is one of the most expensive events in the plant. Nisthora watches every asset's readings, records every stop, and warns which asset needs maintenance before it fails.
What gets in the way.
Continuous running
Kilns and mills run day and night; a stop interrupts the whole process.
Heavy wear
Mill bearings, gearboxes, fans and conveyors wear fast under dust and heat.
Energy-hungry
Mills and kilns are among the largest energy users in industry.
What Nisthora connects to and measures.
Machines
- Rotary kilns and coolers
- Raw and cement mills
- Crushers
- Fans and blowers
- Belt conveyors and bucket elevators
- Packing plants
Readings
- Kiln shell and burning-zone temperature
- Mill motor current and power
- Bearing temperature and vibration
- Fan speed and pressure
- Feed rate
- Run / stop state
Typical stop reasons
- Kiln stop
- Mill trip
- Conveyor belt fault
- Planned shutdown
- Raw material shortage
- Power interruption
These are common examples. Each plant names its own machines and lines, and sets up its own stop reasons, in the words its team uses.
Records for every stop and reading
Every stop is logged with its start, end and reason, and every reading is kept in history, so you can see what happened before any trip.
A day with Nisthora
Vibration on a mill gearbox becomes more variable over two weeks. The maintenance forecast shows Plan maintenance: 12 days, with the reasons. The stop is planned into the next shutdown instead of becoming a breakdown.
Example for illustration.
Built for plants like yours.
Live status of every asset
Running, stopped or offline, with its key readings, live on one screen.
Maintenance forecast
Which asset needs maintenance in the next 30 days, how many days are left, and why.
Anomaly detection
Flags readings that are not normal for that asset, even inside the limits.
Alerts
Limits on any reading, sent in-app, by email, SMS, push or webhook, with escalation.
Downtime analysis
Every stop with its reason and length, and a Pareto of the biggest causes.
Root cause and fishbone
Find why a problem keeps coming back, and prove the fix.
Energy
Power use per asset and per area.
Works with your controllers
OPC UA, Modbus, Siemens S7, EtherNet/IP, MQTT and HTTP.
