What the Sensors Can Tell Us

The dream of every production line manager: Repair or replace equipment before it fails. Does this belong to the realm of prophecy? No. What you need are sensors that collect data, a network to forward them to, an intelligent algorithm to analyze the data and a visualization dashboard that is easy to read.

This is exactly what Leadec experts are currently implementing. Jitendra Singh, Head of Business Development for Leadec India, talks about their projects: “We have started online vibration monitoring in paint shops, and the results are promising. It can be used on all rotating equipment – we worked on the blowers and we have tried it successfully on overhead electric overhead travelling cranes. We now have concluded a proof of concept with customers in different industries and are working on transferring that into a new service offering for maintenance.” The idea is to commit to a certain equipment reliability with Service Level Agreement contracts.

 

Understanding data

At an engine production site in Germany, Nico Schrickel, site manager at Leadec, has installed vibration sensors to the pumps at several machining centers. “These pumps have had seven failures per year, mostly due to hard particle contamination.” Schrickel takes advantage of Leadec’s own IoT Home Cloud to collect and evaluate the data from the sensors. “We expect to predict the failure of the pumps, and then we can reduce the maintenance effort for such equipment by 70%. We can save money on spare parts and we increase equipment availability by avoiding downtime” adds his colleague Angelo Urias from Product Management. Currently they are following the vibration data trending and waiting for the pumps to stop. Statistically, a critical failure should happen until April. Then they have proven their point.

 

 

 

Seamless digital processes

Astrid Lichtl-Dengel from Leadec’s Smart Factory Group connects all the dots and works to build a business model for Leadec from pilots like these. “We have access to more than 300 customer sites, we can connect all machines and sensors to our IoT-Home-Cloud, and intelligent algorithms can trigger on-demand cases in our digital platform Leadec.os for service delivery. Our aim is to develop competitive and scalable “out-of-the-box” solutions, seamlessly from end-to-end.”

The advantage for the plant managers: They do not have to share their data with Leadec or even open their platforms. Leadec has its own platform and cloud to offer an end-to-end solution for predictive maintenance – through, for example, vibration monitoring.

Vibration Analytics is Leadec's IIoT solution that enables you to continuously monitor the health of your pumps, motors and other rotating equipment. Condition monitoring on a new level.
