The Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) market is in the early stages of a growth curve comparable to the evolution of the mobile telephony, especially when it comes to IIoT vibration sensors. In this scenario, is the current business model of keeping systems closed compatible with the future of IIoT…
Industrial Artificial Intelligence (IAI) has one of the greatest potentials to affect the way companies manage their maintenance practices. Letting Machine Learning (ML) and algorithms take more responsibility can lead to more productive work routine and less unplanned stops and the high costs associated with it. …
Detecting and monitoring operational modes in a machine is a very effective way of getting a precise view of the asset’s health conditions. In a machine, different operational modes can reflect different usages, a production process, an on-off state, or a developing failure.
But besides reflecting the overall state of…
One of the fundamentals of condition monitoring is being able to trust the data you get from your sensors. …
Bayesian methods have become widely used in machine learning and pattern recognition. Talking simplistically, traditional — or ‘frequentist’, statistics see probability as the limit of relative frequencies of events as the number of trials increases, assuming a fixed set of distribution parameters. Bayesian statistics, on the other hand, is more…
As part of predictive maintenance techniques, condition monitoring is used to detect anomalies and predict machinery’s health in real-time. Sensor data is used to verify whether a component failure is likely. Some failure occurs gradually and can be prevented by routine inspections and examinations. In contrast, other types of failures…

Even companies that are playing in the advanced league of the condition monitoring game may face the challenge of knowing which machines need to be prioritized for maintenance. …

Vibration monitoring is key to performing condition monitoring-based maintenance in rotating equipment such as engines, compressors, turbines, pumps, generators, blowers, and gearboxes. …
Predictive maintenance, despite its measurable results and successes, has been suffering from lack of scalability. Models designed and trained for a given machine with a particular set of sensors often had to be retrained before being used with other similar machines. In addition, the quantity and variety of machines in…
