Diagnosed issue
In July 2025, Sonora detected anomalies in Retal’s Bosch Rexroth H14 pump (pre-coupling, circulating 2 tons of oil). The data indicated a growing shaft mismatch that risked severe failure – debris contamination of the system, a two-week cleanup, and the replacement of oil, pipes, and the pump itself.
Savings
The solution helped avoid system contamination and a two-week downtime, saving over €46,000 in replacement and labor costs. It ensured continuous 24/7 production with zero unplanned stops and enabled proactive replacement, preventing a severe pump failure.
