Redex Group integrates Lesly into its Smart Machine Pack for smarter rolling mills
Redex’s Smart machine pack marks a new era in industrial maintenance. By teaming up with the expertise of Di Analyse and their innovative Lesly solution, Redex is transforming the way rolling mills are monitored. Thanks to this technology, manufacturers can now anticipate breakdowns, improve machine availability and extend component life.
Strategic collaboration for smarter machines
Redex Group, European leader in mechatronic solutions, innovates with the launch of its Smart machine pack. Designed for rolling mills, this pack comes with a major new feature: the integration of the Lesly solution developed by Di Analyse. This partnership combines precision engineering and artificial intelligence to revolutionize machine monitoring.
Lesly is quick and easy to install, and adapts perfectly to machines. All it takes is a few sensors for the embedded intelligence to start learning and predicting equipment status.
Lesly: the power of artificial intelligence applied to maintenance
The real innovation lies in the algorithms used by Lesly. Thanks to a self-learning AI, the solution analyzes machine data in real time. It detects deviations from a reference behavior and predicts their evolution over time. This prediction enables maintenance teams to intervene at the right moment, before a breakdown impacts production.
The benefits are immediate:
Up to 40% improvement in machine availability.
+30% longer component life.
20% reduction in rejects, thanks to improved quality monitoring.
A Smart machine pack for all rolling mills
Redex plans to offer this Smart machine pack as an option on all its rolling mills from 2026. Even better, older machines are not left out. Users equipped with Siemens S7 or Simocean PLC controllers will also be able to benefit from this solution, thanks to seamless integration into their existing infrastructure.
It’s a decisive step towards Industry 4.0, where every machine becomes a source of information that can be exploited to improve overall performance.
Why predictive maintenance is a game-changer
In the precision rolling industry, unplanned machine stoppages are a major cost factor. An unanticipated breakdown can generate production losses estimated at several tens of thousands of euros per day. Added to this are the costs of emergency repairs, quality losses and team disorganization.
Thanks to Lesly, these scenarios can be avoided. By collecting, historizing and analyzing key equipment data, the solution enables :
- A detailed understanding of malfunctions.
- Rapid identification of downtime causes.
- Automated calculation of TRS and TRG indicators.
In other words, Lesly doesn’t just monitor: it leverages data to optimize decisions and avoid machine downtime.
A solution designed for industry, easy to deploy
One of Lesly’s greatest assets is its simplicity. No data scientist is required. The tool is autonomous, intuitive and secure. It integrates easily into an existing industrial network, thanks to a single piece of software installed on an industrial PC. Monitoring can be local or centralized, and covers different machine brands.
What’s more, Lesly complies with cybersecurity requirements and guarantees data confidentiality. All this with rapid deployment: teams can move on from the machine criticality study to implementing the solution.
Conclusion: a winning alliance for the future of rolling mills
With the integration of Lesly in its Smart machine pack, Redex offers its customers much more than a high-performance rolling mill. It offers a modern vision of maintenance, based on data, prediction and efficiency.
This strategic choice perfectly illustrates the Group’s ambitions: to innovate, anticipate and support manufacturers towards sustainable performance. By integrating AI into its mechatronic solutions, Redex once again proves that it remains at the cutting edge of technology in the service of industry.
