A leader in the aluminium die-casting and tooling market, NPF Nuova Presso Fondal SpA, relies on remote monitoring for its chillers to prevent downtime.
In 2020, the company purchased Daikin air-cooled chillers for cooling and maintaining the temperature of mould cooling water in aluminium die-casting activities.
Critical to the die-casting process, NPF’s chillers must provide the correct temperature for the process water at all times.
NPF covered the chillers with a comprehensive maintenance contract including a remote monitoring service, to supervise the operation of the units.
Daikin's remote monitoring solution for chillers, Daikin on Site, offers advanced features such as leak detection, trend analysis, and optimization for optimal performance of the machines.
The leak detection feature in Daikin on site was able to detect a refrigeration leak even when the chiller was still running smoothly.
With this information, Daikin Team and Service Partner were able to resolve the situation in a short time without affecting the client’s business activities.
NPF Nuova Presso Fondal SpA has a manufacturing site in Bosisio Parini (Lecco, Italy) which is a 36,000 m² manufacturing area, including a 10,000 m² covered area and a 4,000 m² warehouse.
Since 2020, NPF has been using three Daikin chillers for manufacturing activities and cooling purposes.
The maintenance manager at NPF Nuova Presso Fondal SpA, Alessandro Giambrone, said issues need to be resolved in a timely manner to avoid downtime.
“During the first three years of operation, Daikin’s smart leak detection features and automatic alerts have made all the difference to prevent any operational downtimes at our factory,” he said.
