Continuous uptime - the preferred state with BLOX
Our goal is simple - keep production in continuous uptime. With BLOX, systems can be monitored proactively, risks are identified early, and maintenance is guided by data - not by failures. By staying ahead of issues, customers can maximize performance, minimize disruptions, and extend the life of their equipment. BLOX empowers preventive action, turning uptime from an aspiration into a standard.
Responsibilities how BLOX adds value through proactive maintenance insights
After Comet delivers the iXRS X-ray module, our OEM partner integrates it into their system. This system is then installed and operated by the end-user. Once the system has been running, for example, 1000 hours, the x-ray module’s internal data is cyclically downloaded by the OEM and uploaded to BLOX.
The OEM then reviews and analyzes this data through its dedicated BLOX account. Based on their insights, the OEM provides targeted maintenance recommendations to the end-user, enabling optimized service planning, reducing unplanned downtime, and ensuring long-term system performance.
| Stage | Actor | Responsibility |
|---|---|---|
| Manufacture & delivery | Comet | Provides BLOX and the iXRS X-ray module. |
| Integration | OEM | Integrates iXRS into their own system. |
| Operation | End-user | Runs the OEM system in their facility. |
| Monitoring | OEM | Tracks X-ray module operation (e.g. 1000 hours). |
| Data retrieval |
1. OEM 2. End-user 3. OEM-system automated solution |
1. OEM can retrieve data manually. 2. End user can retrieve data manually and shares it with the OEM. 3. The OEM can implement an automated download solution. |
| Data upload | OEM | OEM can upload data manually. |
| Data analysis | OEM | Analyzes X-ray data on BLOX using their company account. |
| Maintenance recommendation | OEM | Suggests specific service actions based on the data insights. |
| Maintenance execution | OEM and end-user | Carries out maintenance as per the OEM’s recommendation. |
| Uptime = money saved | End-user | Efficient operation reduces downtime and saves costs. |
Only Comet insights with BLOX - Smart insights for X-ray tubes & generators
BLOX enhances system performance by offering targeted insights into tube and generator health while leaving full-system monitoring to OEM components.
BLOX does
- BLOX provides critical data on Comet module performance, with a focus on X-ray tubes and generators.
- It collects feedback from sensors in the generator to deliver precise performance insights.
- Drastically reduce the time to troubleshoot.
BLOX does not
- Monitor OEM and end customer specific system components, such as detectors, robotic arms, and inspected goods.
