How MPC Caught a Bearing Defect on a Medical Paper Line with Viking Analytics

MPC used Viking Analytics to monitor a medical-grade paper line. A single point of failure could stop the entire production line, with potential losses of $10-15 million. Viking Analytics' MultiViz platform detected an early-stage bearing defect on the gearbox of the third press through asynchronous envelope harmonics, automatically elevated the machine's priority score, and even traced the fault back to an earlier onset date than the analyst's initial note. Intervention could then be planned rather than forced.
