Machine Analyser® gives you complete visibility of every ELAU PacDrive component on-site – identifying what’s at risk, what’s obsolete, and what’s needed before the next breakdown.
✓ Complete spares inventory
✓ Proactive obsolescence alerts
✓ Site-wide firmware tracking
✓ Live machine & fault sync
When a breakdown happens, engineering needs the right part – the right firmware version – immediately. If stores can’t answer that question fast, the line stays down. Machine Analyser® makes sure you always can.
Problem 01
Wrong Parts — Wrong Firmware
A spare arrives but it’s the wrong firmware version. Or the correct part number, but incompatible with the machine it’s destined for. Machine Analyser® links every spare to the exact asset it covers – so what’s on the shelf is always the right match.
Problem 02
No Visibility Until It’s Too Late
The first time you know a part is needed is when engineering is standing in front of you mid-breakdown. Machine Analyser® flags at-risk components before they fail – so you can plan, order and stock proactively instead of scrambling reactively.
Problem 03
Obsolete Stock Sitting on the Shelf
Money tied up in parts that can’t be used – because the machine they cover has been upgraded, or the component is no longer supported. Machine Analyser® keeps your inventory aligned with what’s actually on site, flagging obsolescence before it becomes a problem.
Problem 04
Calendar-Based Guessing
Ordering parts because “it’s been 12 months” rather than because the machine data says they’re needed. Pure guesswork – resulting in stock you don’t need and gaps where you do. Machine Analyser® replaces the calendar with condition-based triggers tied to real machine wear data.
Connected to the same live data your engineers see — so your inventory is always matched to what’s actually on site.
Replace manual spreadsheets with a live, site-wide parts registry. Instantly track part numbers, firmware versions, and availability across every machine to answer engineering queries in seconds.
Live Parts Register: Automatically linked to every asset on site.
Firmware Tracking: Know the exact specification required for every swap.
Instant Search:Filter by machine, component type, or part number.
Real-Time Accuracy:Eliminate manual stock checks and outdated logs.
Identify discontinued or high-risk components before they fail. Use real-time data to plan procurement and avoid critical shortages that could stop production for weeks.
EOL Flagging: Status updates for every component on your site.
Early Warnings: Alerts for parts nearing their end-of-support date.
Risk-Based Planning: Prioritise procurement based on real-world data.
Emergency Avoidance: Secure critical spares before they vanish from the market.
Eliminate the risk of firmware mismatches and hardware revisions. Automatically cross-reference every spare against its target machine to ensure engineering gets the right part, the first time.
Automated Cross-Referencing: Match parts to specific machine configs.
Version Verification: Prevent costly firmware and software mismatches.
Revision Tracking: Monitor hardware changes across your entire register.
Error Reduction: Stop breakdown repairs from stalling due to wrong parts.
Connect your inventory to live machine health data. Automatically trigger stock reviews when components show signs of wear, aligning your procurement plan with actual equipment risk.
Health-Triggered Reviews: Proactive stock checks based on machine wear.
Shared Visibility: One source of truth for stores and engineering.
Strategic Stocking: Buy what you need, exactly when the data says so.
Evidence-Based Spend: Justify stock levels with real machine health data.
UK and European manufacturers are losing billions every year to unplanned downtime. Having the right spare – the right firmware version – on the shelf is one of the most controllable parts of that problem.
Projected losses from unplanned downtime across UK and European manufacturers in 2025 – the cost keeps climbing
Average productivity lost per UK company per year to machine failures – the clock starts the moment the part isn’t there
Reduction in maintenance costs from predictive maintenance programmes across all European manufacturers every year
Of UK industrial businesses experienced unplanned downtime in the last three years – and most had no early warning at all
From mid-breakdown part requests to proactive procurement planning – Machine Analyser® is built for the situations stores teams actually face.
Answer in seconds, not minutes
A breakdown is happening. Engineering is standing in front of you asking for a specific drive or servo motor. With Machine Analyser®, you pull up the asset, see exactly what compatible spares are on the shelf, confirm the firmware version matches, and hand it over - without leaving the stores desk or digging through spreadsheets. The line gets back up faster because you had the answer ready.
Plan procurement around actual machine risk - not gut feel
Before a planned maintenance window, Machine Analyser® shows you which components are flagged as at risk, which are showing wear trends in the live data, and which are already obsolete. You can build a procurement list based on real evidence - and justify every order to management with data rather than guesswork. No more over-ordering "just in case" or under-ordering and getting caught short.
Know before it becomes a crisis - not during one
ELAU PacDrive components have long lifecycles, but some are already discontinued or at risk of going out of support. Machine Analyser® flags these proactively - giving you time to source alternatives, identify compatible replacements or work with DMC on a solution before the component fails and you're trying to find a spare under breakdown pressure.
Stop firmware mismatches before they cost you twice
A common and costly problem - the correct part number is ordered, but the firmware version is wrong for the specific machine it's needed for. Machine Analyser's compatibility analyser prevents this by cross-referencing every spare against the machine's exact specification. What ends up on the shelf is always the right match - so when the breakdown happens, there's no second trip to the supplier.
Real data makes the case - so you're not arguing from memory
Every procurement request needs to be justified. Machine Analyser® gives you the evidence - fault history, component health trends, obsolescence status, breakdown frequency - all in one place. Whether you're requesting budget for a critical spare or arguing against cutting the stores inventory, you're doing it with hard data rather than anecdote.
The difference data makes to how stores teams operate
Without Machine Analyser®: emergency orders at 3× cost every month, expensive parts sitting on shelves for years just in case, finding out components are discontinued only when you try to order them, no way to justify inventory spend to finance, ordering based on the calendar not machine condition.
With Machine Analyser®: emergency orders down 80%, stock only what data says you'll need, obsolescence alerts 6+ months in advance, condition-based purchasing triggers, and clear data to show ROI on every pound spent.
Machine Analyser® gives your stores team complete visibility of every component on site – what you have, what you need and what’s at risk – before it becomes a breakdown.
