背景
Enbi 是一家为各种工业应用提供先进材料和部件的全球供应商，最近与一家领先的自动柜员机 (ATM) 制造商合作。该项目的重点是优化 ATM 系统内负责移动现金的滚轮，目标是延长滚轮的使用寿命、减少维护需求并提高整体机器的可靠性。
挑战
ATMs are critical for financial institutions, providing customers with convenient access to cash and other services. Within these machines, 精密滚轮 play a vital role in ensuring the smooth and reliable movement of cash. However, the constant wear and tear on these components can lead to issues such as:
- Frequent Roller Wear and Tear: The rollers experience high friction and continuous operation, leading to significant wear. This can result in frequent breakdowns and the need for regular replacements, increasing operational costs.
- High Maintenance Demands: To maintain uptime and avoid service interruptions, ATM operators must conduct frequent maintenance checks, which are both time-consuming and costly.
- Reduced Machine Availability: As roller failure can lead to machine downtime, the ATM manufacturer was looking for ways to increase roller durability and minimize disruptions in ATM service availability.
为了应对这些挑战，制造商寻求在先进材料和减摩方面拥有专业知识的合作伙伴，该合作伙伴能够提供可提高滚轮性能的解决方案，而无需对 ATM 装置进行重大设计更改。
解决方案
Enbi 发挥其材料工程专业知识，提供旨在减少摩擦、延长滚轮寿命和降低维护需求的解决方案。Enbi 的方法包括以下关键部分：
- High-Performance Roller Coatings: Enbi developed and supplied specialized coatings for the rollers. These coatings are formulated to resist wear and reduce friction, enhancing the durability of the rollers. The coatings also reduce the adhesion of dust and other particles, which can otherwise contribute to roller degradation over time.
- Advanced Materials for Roller Construction: Enbi recommended and supplied 精密滚轮 made from high-quality materials with enhanced hardness and resilience. By using these materials, the rollers can withstand the high levels of stress and friction they experience during cash handling operations, effectively extending their operational life.
- Custom Engineering Support: Enbi worked closely with the ATM manufacturer’s engineering team to ensure that the new rollers and coatings integrated seamlessly with the existing system design. Enbi provided technical support during the design phase, as well as guidance on installation and ongoing maintenance procedures.
执行
该项目分阶段实施，Enbi 和 ATM 制造商可以评估每个步骤中解决方案的有效性：
Phase 1 – Prototype Development and Testing: Enbi supplied a batch of coated rollers for initial testing. The ATM manufacturer tested these rollers under various operational conditions, including high usage scenarios. The coated rollers showed a significant reduction in wear and friction compared to the standard rollers, indicating a promising improvement in durability.
Phase 2 – Production Rollout: Following successful testing, Enbi scaled up production to supply rollers for the manufacturer’s entire range of ATMs. Enbi’s production facilities and logistics network ensured a smooth and timely delivery, allowing the manufacturer to incorporate the new rollers into their systems with minimal disruption.
Phase 3 – Performance Monitoring and Optimization: To further enhance the roller design, Enbi continues to monitor performance data and collaborate with the ATM manufacturer on any necessary adjustments. This ongoing partnership allows for continuous improvements and ensures that the solution remains aligned with the manufacturer’s evolving needs.
结果
此次合作为 ATM 制造商及其客户带来了多项重大利益：
- Extended Roller Lifespan: The specialized coatings and high-performance materials have extended roller life by over 50%, reducing the frequency of replacements and lowering overall maintenance costs.
- Reduced Maintenance Requirements: With the improved durability and friction resistance, ATMs equipped with Enbi’s rollers require less frequent maintenance, leading to cost savings and improved uptime.
- Improved Machine Availability: The longer-lasting rollers and reduced maintenance needs have led to increased ATM availability, providing a better experience for end-users and reducing downtime for operators.
结论
Enbi 与 ATM 制造商的合作表明了有针对性的材料解决方案在提高关键部件的耐用性和可靠性方面的价值。通过提供先进的滚筒材料和涂层，Enbi 不仅解决了与磨损和维护相关的直接挑战，还为 ATM 制造商的长期成功奠定了基础。该项目展示了 Enbi 提供定制解决方案的能力，这些解决方案可提高产品性能、降低运营成本并提高客户满意度。
