Use of sensor data from heavy machines

 Predictive maintenance: Predictive maintenance is a technique that uses sensor data to predict when equipment is likely to fail, allowing maintenance to be scheduled proactively. This can help to minimize downtime, reduce maintenance costs, and improve equipment reliability.

Examples:

A vibration sensor on a machine that detects an increase in vibration. This could indicate that a bearing is starting to wear, and maintenance can be scheduled to replace the bearing before it fails.

A temperature sensor on a machine that detects an increase in temperature. This could indicate that a bearing is starting to wear, and maintenance can be scheduled to replace the bearing before it fails.

A sensor on a machine that detects changes in the machine's current or voltage. This could indicate that a component is starting to fail, and maintenance can be scheduled to replace the component before it fails.

Equipment performance monitoring: Equipment performance monitoring is the process of using sensor data to monitor the performance of equipment, identify areas for improvement, and optimize equipment usage. This can help to improve the efficiency of equipment, reduce downtime, and improve overall productivity.

Examples:

A sensor on a machine that monitors the machine's cycle time. The data can be used to identify areas where the machine can be optimized to improve cycle time and increase productivity.

A sensor on a machine that monitors energy usage. The data can be used to identify areas where energy usage can be reduced, which can help to reduce operating costs and improve efficiency.

A sensor on a machine that monitors the temperature of different components. The data can be used to identify areas where the machine is running too hot, which can help to reduce downtime and improve the reliability of the machine.

Safety monitoring: Safety monitoring is the process of using sensors to monitor the safety of equipment, identifying potential hazards and taking action to prevent accidents. This can help to reduce the risk of accidents, improve the safety of equipment, and reduce the risk of liability for the company.
