Dec 7, 2022 | All Content, IoT, Manufacturing, Research

The energy grid is a modern marvel. Nevertheless, its analog nature has proven to be inadequate for today’s energy demand. In order for energy companies to stay competitive, grid infrastructure needs a digital transformation. Smart grid technology can help us cut down on energy consumption, minimize waste, and even integrate new technologies more efficiently. Even more importantly, a smarter grid can help us navigate complex problems, like today’s energy crisis.

Why Aerospace and Defense Must Commit to Digital Transformation

Jun 28, 2022 | Aerospace, Defense, IoT

Most modern tech companies were built upon a digital foundation. However, manufacturing has long fallen behind in this regard. Due to its emergence before the rise of big data and advanced computing power, few aerospace and defense industry companies have succeeded in going fully digital. Nevertheless, those that have done so find themselves reaping great rewards today. Fortunately, it’s not too late for your company to catch up. Every business can achieve a digital transformation with the right tools.

Current Trends in Intelligent Machine Condition Monitoring powered by AI

Feb 14, 2022 | All Content, Artificial Intelligence, IoT, Manufacturing, Research

Artificial intelligence is more accessible than ever before. It’s also more useful than ever thanks to new applications for businesses of all kinds, including industrial companies. One such application of AI is machine condition monitoring. By tracking a machine’s condition through sensors, AI-based software can predict when a machine will need maintenance and even take action to prevent failures. We expect this technology to continue to spread as more companies adopt it. Here are some of the trends to follow.

What Are the Instruments Used in Condition Monitoring?

Feb 7, 2022 | All Content, IoT, Manufacturing, Research

A reliable condition monitoring system can completely transform your industrial operation. You can optimize your maintenance schedule by focusing on the machines that actually need maintenance rather than following a routine that may result in redundant efforts. Even better, you can schedule maintenance for more convenient times. In addition, you can predict when machines are likely to need repair or replacement by gathering data over time. Monitoring your machines’ condition is essential to gain a competitive advantage.

While some modern machines have monitoring components built in, you don’t need to upgrade your factory floor. You can retrofit older machines with specialized instruments at a fraction of the price. An investment in condition monitoring technology yields significant returns due to the relatively low initial expense and massive potential for long-term savings. So, what do you need to make it possible? Let’s look at the most important instruments in a monitoring system.

Automated Machine Vision Systems: The Key to Effective Condition Monitoring
