Vibration Detection for Condition Monitoring

#Consumer Electronics# Published : Oct 08, 2023

Eliminate Unplanned Downtime and Extend Asset Lifespan


Condition-based monitoring (CbM) is defined as a predictive maintenance strategy that continuously monitors the condition of assets using various types of sensors and real-time data extracted from these sensors. Manufacturers utilize the collected data to reduce maintenance costs and asset downtime, ultimately improving throughput and asset utilization. CbM can be used to establish trends, predict failures, calculate asset lifespans, and enhance the safety of manufacturing facilities.

With its deep expertise in detection, signal processing, communication, power management, and system design, combined with leading AI detection and interpretation platforms, ADI (Analog Devices, Inc.) enables its customers to deploy new condition monitoring solutions faster, extracting more value and higher-quality data and insights. ADI's comprehensive system-level solutions provide the technology and insights to create new, high-value predictive maintenance service products for deployed equipment.

 

Advantages of Condition Monitoring

As manufacturers seek to improve throughput and asset utilization by reducing maintenance costs and asset downtime, real-time continuous condition monitoring and predictive maintenance solutions become increasingly important. Given that the cost of unplanned downtime can account for nearly one-fourth of total manufacturing costs, adopting predictive maintenance solutions has the potential to significantly save costs and boost productivity.

Extend Equipment Lifespan


Real-time monitoring of assets ensures that equipment operates within the manufacturer's specifications, thus extending its lifespan.

 

Reduce Maintenance Costs


Real-time monitoring of asset health helps schedule maintenance based on the current condition of assets rather than on fixed time intervals, reducing maintenance costs.

 

Increase Throughput


Condition monitoring improves manufacturing throughput by reducing maintenance downtime and unplanned asset downtime.

 

Minimize Asset Downtime


Real-time monitoring of asset health helps eliminate unplanned asset downtime.
