The AiCARE system has been designed to be integrated with all types of AIDA presses but at the same time it can be seen as an external device to be implemented on already installed presses. It is also possible to install AiCARE on presses of other manufacturers.
AiCARE (AIDA Information Care System) is the device that allows customers to receive information and data from presses. This is why AiCARE system has been structured in three groups.
The first group is for production where production data is collected, analyzed and represented by dashboards to intuitively inform the production quality trend. The second group is relative to the state of the machine, the data relating to the energy consumed is therefore collected rather than the data relating to the quality of the oil or data relating to the temperature of the machine.
They are then analyzed and presented via dashboard. Moreover, if a machine parameter leaves the normal working range, the system sends an e-mail describing the anomaly. Finally, the third group is related to the maintenance of the machine, here are presented all the components used inside the AIDA presses with information on the degree of use of the component, this allows AIDA customers to predict which components are at the end of the cycle so to plan downtime.

AIDA AiCARE has been awarded at the CWIEME Global Award 2019 in Berlin as the best product in the Evolution 4.0 category. The jury, composed of five high-level technical judges from renowned companies, have considered AiCARE the best evolution for Industry 4.0 applications related to metalforming presses. The CWIEME Awards 2019 were given out in six categories, including Product of the Year, Evolution 4.0, Start-up of the Year, Outstanding Contribution to Industry, and best E-Motor Design of the Year in partnership with DuPont as well as the Grand Prix ‘Winner of Winners’ award. The winners have been awarded on May 22 at CWIEME Berlin. Judges for CWIEME Global Awards 2019: Dr Yves Burkhardt, Head of Motor Engineering and Simulation, Valeo Siemens eAutomotive Germany GmbH; Anand Sathyan, Principal Engineer, Green Engineering, LG Electronics; Vincent Marche, Marketing Director Altair; Lohit Shringi, Global Marketing Leader DuPont; Anderson Pacheco Manufacturing Sr. Staff Engineer, Drive System Engineering, Tesla. AIDA will perform live demos of AiCARE at its stand (Halle 8 – Stand 8302) during the next Blechexpo trade show to be held in Stuttgart from 05 to 08 November 2019.
An analysis tool
AiCARE is not only a device for data collection but it is also an analysis tool. Therefore, the use of machine learning algorithms, such as SVC, allow customers to understand how production quality evolves. As for predictive maintenance, it remains a goal to reach. This is because AIDA believe that predictive maintenance must meet certain quality standards. Through the parent company’s R&D department, AIDA is implementing new predictive maintenance algorithms that can meet the high quality standards of AIDA presses.
