Current Trends in Intelligent Machine Condition Monitoring powered by AI

Feb 14, 2022 | All Content, 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

Feb 1, 2022 | All Content, IoT, Manufacturing, Research

Automation continues to press onward thanks to advances in computing technology. Thanks to the proliferation of artificial intelligence, specifically machine learning, visual data processing has never been more powerful. Essentially, computers can see now. And they can use what they see to make decisions faster than any human could. With machine vision systems, you can bring that technology to your business. To better understand these systems, let’s take a closer look at how they work.

Automated Test Equipment: How Will it Benefit You?

Jan 24, 2022 | Academic Teaching, Aerospace, All Content, IoT, Manufacturing, Research

Before you can bring a new industrial solution to market, it has to be vetted thoroughly. Similarly, to prove that your company can handle massive installations for the public sector, you’ll need to demonstrate your capacity. Expanding your own operations calls for pilot designs and exploratory testing to ensure that your goals are feasible. Regardless of the exact situation, testing your systems and their components is essential. R&D and QC processes can be greatly accelerated with automated test equipment.
