Panasonic Electric Taiwan: unplanned blower downtime cut by 90%
Blower thermal monitoring integrated into a TECO Industry 4.0 machine-health platform.

The problem
Panasonic Taiwan's SMT line uses industrial blowers to maintain cleanroom airflow and remove process heat. When a blower seizes without warning, the line goes down — and SMT lines are among the most expensive production lines per minute of downtime in any electronics factory.
What was installed
Thermalpas sensors stream into Panasonic's existing TECO Industry 4.0 Machine Health Managing System via OPC-UA. When a blower temperature trends abnormal, a SCADA work order is generated automatically and the maintenance technician is notified via LINE.
The outcome
Panasonic confirmed a 90% reduction in unplanned blower downtime as operations moved from repairing after failure to repairing before it, and SMT line uptime has stabilized.
