Innovation Team Propels Wisconsin Oven Forward
December 1, 2019
"The innovation team at Wisconsin Oven is focused on driving process and product development forward by utilizing technological advancements in the industry," said a company spokesperson. "Their current initiatives range from advanced simulation programming technology to patents that will change the traditional way industrial ovens have been designed."
The initiatives include:
- Machine Learning and Predictive Maintenance-Machine learning is a process where programs register patterns, learn from data and make decisions almost completely on their own, maximizing automation and efficiency. Predictive maintenance is very similar to machine learning, where a person or program monitors a piece of equipment. Its condition, prior data and active hours are all watched in order to provide an estimate of when maintenance should be done.
- Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT)-The IIoT is a large network of connected servers, computers and devices. Having this connectivity creates efficiency and allows for faster and easier machine learning and predictive maintenance through the cloud.
- Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)-The CFD program allows Wisconsin Oven to simulate the airflow and heat distribution in a specific oven design to optimize the design prior to building the oven.
- Premium Control System-Wisconsin Oven Corporation's Premium Control System provides control and data acquisition for composite cure ovens. The Premium Control System is used by customers in aerospace and other industries where process control is extremely critical. The Premium Control System plays an important role in optimizing the composite curing process and was designed with input from the aerospace industry leaders that will be using it on their equipment.
- Laser Cutting Technology-The addition of a laser cutter to the Wisconsin Oven production department provides enhanced efficiency and capabilities. This equipment cuts steel precisely using a high-powered laser. Shapes that were impossible in the past are now being done in-house.
In addition to the initiatives above, Wisconsin Oven filed six patents in recent months for pioneering technology such as IIoT, energy recovery, high efficiency oven body construction and more. "Wisconsin Oven is leveraging these latest technological innovations to provide customers with the highest quality product at the best value," said the spokesperson.
Wisconsin Oven has been designing, engineering and manufacturing industrial ovens and other heating equipment since 1973.
