3am – a service engineer receives a phone call with unpleasant information. A motor failed and caused the breakdown of an entire production line. This is a costly nightmare for the company, which in some factories can cost as much as $20,000 per hour.
A predictive maintenance program with condition-based monitoring can make incidents like this a thing of the past.
Unlike traditional maintenance systems, which may monitor machines only a few times a month, IoT driven condition-based monitoring systems can change the game.
Wireless battery-operated sensors are mounted to the assets to provide continuous monitoring of data like temperature and vibration. Anomalies are identified early, and failures can be prevented before they halt operations.
