Industrial Predictive Maintenance
Predictive maintenance is one of the core components of Industry 4.0, through which machines and systems are proactively maintained and equipment downtime is kept as low as possible.
This proactive type of maintenance is almost symbolic for Industry 4.0 and promises a great asset for your company. Reliable monitoring through collected sensor data can detect discrepancies in the manufacturing process. Using targeted, automated, and timely triggered maintenance can prevent failure of the machines and subsequently reduce downtime and costs.
Due to its strongly proactive and data-driven character, industrial predictive maintenance reduces equipment failure, downtime and costs and, thus clearly distinguishes itself from earlier approaches of reactive or preventive maintenance.
Procedure and Technical Requirements
6 Steps to Your Successful Predictive Maintenance Project
If you want to introduce predictive maintenance in your own company, you must solve all the sub-problems of Industry 4.0: From networking and storage to business logic.
This requires the right approach.
Start Small to Achieve Great Things
Once the technical prerequisites for collecting and processing the sensor data are in place, we recommend starting with a small pilot project.
To do so, it is sufficient to visualize a selected parameter, such as the machine temperature. By monitoring the data series, the project team gains valuable insights into the process observed and its underlying cause-effect relationships.
Once it was determined which sensor signals and anomalies precede a machine problem, a prediction model can be developed that forms the basis for predictive maintenance.
