Maintenance is a part of every industry and is essentially intended to ensure that all assets operate with the highest possible availability. In other words, if any equipment breaks down, it serves as a warning sign and poses a problem for business operations.
Industry 4.0 involves digitizing data for process analysis and decision-making based on the creation of a monitoring profile. Put simply, any information can be sent to a server containing various other data so that decisions can be made based on historical data and predictions.
Imagine this process applied to a car tire:
In the image above, we can imagine various sensors collecting different types of data (temperature, pressure, vibration, and location), which are sent to a server (also known as Big Data). Based on algorithms for this application, diagnostics are provided (e.g., road surface quality, tire life) that can guide the driver’s decision-making (e.g., slow down, change the tire).
For industrial maintenance to be effective, it is important to consider how to generate data to prevent equipment failures. Predictive maintenance today relies heavily on vibration and temperature data, but this does not preclude the use of other parameters (such as electrical current, pressure, and deformation) to ensure the durability and reliability of your assets.
Tebe Sensores' solution consists of a low-cost, easy-to-install wireless vibration and temperature sensor.
Installing the sensor is very simple—it can be glued, screwed, or attached with a magnet. The data collected by the sensor is sent to the cloud, and you can view it from any internet-connected device via our IoTebe platform.
The main advantage of having an online vibration and temperature monitoring system is that it gives you a better understanding of your equipment. The volume of data generated by 24/7 monitoring allows you to understand how industrial processes affect vibration and to correlate failures with previously unknown periodic patterns. In short, this ensures greater confidence in fault diagnostics and enables you to make informed decisions proactively, before the equipment fails.
Vibration analysis is a well-studied field used to diagnose failures in rotating equipment. The vibration spectrum is a powerful tool that provides information about the equipment’s operating characteristics, making it possible to identify both the type of failure and changes in the machine’s vibration patterns over time.
Whether you're a novice or an expert in vibration analysis, the IoTebe platform provides both basic and advanced tools for all types of users in an intuitive way.
In the past, all the knowledge and decision-making involved in diagnosing and repairing a machine was in the hands of just a few people.
With Tebe Sensores’ solution, you enable everyone on the maintenance team to monitor the health of your assets. Instead of having a single person responsible for monitoring all equipment, you have an entire connected and attentive team, which helps engage the team in maintaining your facility and delivers better results.
