PLATFORM FEATURES

Four modules.
Every situation your machines put you in.

From the moment an alarm fires to the day you plan your next shutdown –  Machine Analyser has a module built for that exact moment.

PacDriveAssist
✓
PacDriveAssist - Breakdown Diagnostics See the exact fault, device and the 500 events leading up to the stop. Your engineer arrives already knowing the fix - not starting the diagnosis from zero.
PacDriveManager
✓
PacDriveManager - Asset & Maintenance Track machine health based on real-world wear and usage - not calendar schedules. Linked directly to your stores and spares data.
PacDriveInsight
✓
PacDriveInsight - Risk & Obsolescence Identify obsolete ELAU components and end-of-life risks before they cause a failure. Work with DMC to understand market supply and demand.
PacDriveMetrics
✓
PacDriveMetrics - OEE & Performance Management-ready performance data and OEE & downtime tracking. Evidence of improvement you can present in any meeting - no spreadsheet required.
Module 01 — PacDriveAssist

The line is down.
You have minutes.

When a breakdown happens, every minute counts. Without the right data, engineers are guessing – working through generic error codes, calling the OEM, waiting. PacDriveAssist puts the answer in their hands before they reach the machine.

The Scenario
3:00 AM. Fifth trip of the shift.
"The PAC says 'General Fault.' The operator says 'it just stopped.' The engineer on shift has never seen this fault before and there's no OEM on call until morning."
🎯
The outcome
Faster diagnosis. Shorter breakdowns. Engineers who arrive at the machine knowing what's wrong - not finding out when they get there.
Real Example
A mechanical jam causing a momentary torque spike - triggering a safety stop before the fuse blows. Invisible to the operator. Visible in the data. Fixed in minutes, not hours.
⚡

Know the Fault Before You Arrive

The moment an alarm triggers, PacDriveAssist surfaces the fault code, the preceding error sequence and the machine state in real time. Engineers arrive informed, not guessing.

🔍

ELAU-Specific Diagnostic Guidance

Generic platforms give you a code. PacDriveAssist gives you context – ELAU-specific guidance tied to the exact fault, the likely cause and the recommended next step. Built from 10+ years on the factory floor.

📋

Full Fault & Event History

Your PAC stores the last 325–500 events. PacDriveAssist stores millions — giving engineers a complete picture of what happened, what came before it and how often it’s happened.

 

📊

I²T & Current Trend Monitoring

Track I²T values and current trends across every drive – flagging deterioration before it becomes a trip. The difference between a planned intervention and an unplanned stoppage.

🔔

Trigger-Based Alerts

Configure alerts for specific fault codes, threshold breaches or pattern sequences. The right person is notified the moment something needs attention – not after the line has stopped.

📱

Accessible on Any Device

PacDriveAssist runs in any browser – desktop, tablet or mobile. Engineers on the factory floor have exactly the same real-time visibility as the manager sitting in the office.

Module 02 — PacDriveManager

Stop reacting.
Start planning.

Reactive maintenance is the most expensive kind. PacDriveManager connects your planned maintenance schedule, stores inventory and asset register to the live health data of every machine – so what gets planned is based on what actually needs doing.

The Scenario
50 motors. Annual summer shutdown.
"You replace them all because you don't know which one will fail next. Good motors get thrown away. The one that was actually deteriorating gets missed - and trips two weeks after the shutdown ends."
🎯
The outcome
Maintenance spend directed at what actually needs it. Shutdowns that achieve what they set out to. Stores inventory that matches real machine risk - not guesswork.
Real Example
A bearing starting to seize - friction torque steadily increasing over 14 days, even though the machine is still running at speed. Invisible on a calendar. Visible in the trend data.
📅

Planned Maintenance Scheduling

Build maintenance schedules based on actual machine condition data – not arbitrary calendar intervals. Service what needs servicing. Skip what doesn’t.

 

🔧

Preventive Maintenance Workflows

Configure condition-based maintenance triggers tied to specific fault patterns or threshold breaches. The system tells you when to act – before the fault forces your hand.

📦

Stores & Spares Management

Every spare part linked to the asset it covers – with firmware version, compatibility status and availability. When engineering asks “do we have a spare?”, stores has the answer in seconds.

🗂️

Asset Register

A complete register of every PacDrive asset on site – drive type, firmware version, installation date and maintenance history. Your single source of truth for everything on site.

📈

Trend Monitoring

Long-term trend data across every asset – identifying gradual deterioration before it becomes an unplanned stoppage. The shift from firefighting to proactive starts here.

👥

Shared Visibility Across Teams

Engineering, stores and management all see the same data. No more silos. No more “I didn’t know that machine was flagged.” Everyone works from the same picture.

Module 03 — PacDriveInsight

Know what’s at risk
before it’s a crisis.

ELAU PacDrive components have long lifecycles – but some are already discontinued, at risk of going out of support or incompatible with planned upgrades. PacDriveInsight surfaces these risks before they become emergencies.

The Scenario
100ppm rated. 82ppm actual.
"You can't see where the other 18ppm is going. No single fault is long enough to investigate. The line looks like it's running fine - until you look at the numbers."
🎯
The outcome
No more surprises. Obsolescence caught months in advance. Spares ordered at normal price. Risk visible across every site before it forces a reactive decision.
Real Example
A specific shift causes 40% more short stops due to improper rail alignment during product changeover - invisible in monthly averages, visible when you look at shift-level data.
⚠️

Obsolescence Alerts

Automated monitoring of component lifecycle status across every asset on site. Get flagged when a component is approaching discontinuation – months before it becomes a problem.

🗺️

Site Risk Reports

A clear view of risk across your entire PacDrive estate – which assets are most at risk, which sites have the highest exposure and where to focus procurement and planning resource.

🔄

Compatibility Analysis

Cross-reference every spare and replacement part against the specific machine and firmware version it’s needed for. Prevent costly firmware mismatches before they reach the shelf.

🛠️

Test & Repair Reports

Detailed reports on components that have been tested or repaired – with outcome, condition and recommended action. Build a complete service history for every asset on site.

📊

Procurement Planning Support

PacDriveInsight data feeds directly into procurement decisions – giving stores and finance teams the evidence to justify spend based on real risk, not gut feel.

 

🏭

Multi-Site Visibility

For organisations running PacDrive across multiple sites, PacDriveInsight provides a consolidated risk view – so resource and procurement can be prioritised where it matters most.

Module 04 — PacDriveMetrics

What’s your line

actually doing?

OEE and downtime data that means something – not just a number on a dashboard. PacDriveMetrics connects production performance to machine health, giving managers and engineers the data to make decisions that actually improve output.

The Scenario
Monday morning production review.
"Production says the machine is slow. Engineering says the operators are taking long breaks. Nobody has data. The meeting ends with opinions, not decisions."
🎯
The outcome
Performance data that drives decisions. OEE numbers that mean something. Management reporting built from live machine data - not spreadsheets compiled the night before.
Real Example
A weekly report automatically shows that a recent PAC optimisation increased line performance by over 4% - giving engineering a clear, data-backed win to present to management.
📊

OEE Tracking

Overall Equipment Effectiveness calculated from live machine data – availability, performance and quality in one number, per line, per shift. Updated continuously, not compiled manually.

⏱️

Downtime Analysis

Every downtime event logged – duration, cause, frequency and trend. See which lines lose the most time, which faults occur most often and where intervention will have the biggest impact.

🔄

Shift Performance Reporting

Compare performance across shifts, days and weeks. Identify patterns that don’t show up in monthly averages – recurring faults on specific shifts, performance dips at changeover, gradual trend deterioration.

📈

Production Trend Monitoring

Long-term production trend data that shows the direction of travel – not just where you are today, but whether you’re improving, static or declining. The context managers need to act.

🎯

Root Cause Linkage

Downtime events linked directly to the fault data that caused them – so the analysis doesn’t stop at “the line stopped” but answers “why did it stop, and how do we stop it happening again.”

📋

Board-Ready Reporting

Exportable reports built for management and board audiences – clear, visual and data-driven. Stop presenting from memory and start presenting from evidence.
