MTConnect is an open standard communication protocol designed for the exchange of data between manufacturing equipment and software applications. The protocol provides a common language and format for collecting and transmitting data from various types of equipment, including machine tools, robots, sensors, and other industrial devices. MTConnect enables interoperability and connectivity across a wide range […]
Monitoring equipment: Proximity sensors can be used to monitor the status of equipment, such as machines or conveyors. By detecting the presence or absence of a material, a proximity sensor can determine whether a machine is running or not, and can trigger an alert if there is a problem. Asset tracking: Proximity sensors can be […]
Energy monitoring: Current clamps can be used to monitor the electrical current flowing through equipment, allowing for accurate energy monitoring and management. By monitoring current data, companies can identify areas of high energy usage and implement measures to reduce energy consumption and costs. Predictive maintenance: Current clamps can detect changes in the electrical current signature […]
Predictive maintenance: Vibration sensors can detect changes in the vibration signature of machinery, which can be an early indicator of potential equipment failures. By monitoring vibration data, companies can identify issues early and perform maintenance and repairs before catastrophic failures occur. Quality control: Vibration sensors can be used to monitor the vibration signature of products […]
Real-time temperature monitoring of machinery and equipment: By placing temperature sensors on critical machinery and equipment, you can monitor their temperature in real-time and detect anomalies, such as overheating or temperature fluctuations, that may indicate potential problems. Early warning system for machine failure: Temperature monitoring can serve as an early warning system for potential machine […]
Future of Air Delivery Production Scalability in aerospace with Digital Transformation: Case of the Drones Imagine the time in the future when you notice your dog’s tail wag during a Superbowl commercial, and you place an order for the advertised soon-to-be the favorite toy and it gets delivered by a UPS or a FedEx drone […]
Predictive maintenance software uses data science and predictive analytics to estimate when a piece of equipment might fail so that corrective maintenance can be scheduled before the point of failure. The goal is to schedule maintenance at the most convenient and most cost-efficient moment, allowing equipment’s lifespan to be optimized to its fullest, but before […]
What are communication protocols? In short, it is your trusty old but sophisticated pigeon with pre-written rules (Protocols) flying from one computing system to another carrying a message. These rules are specifically to direct this pigeon with instructions on what route to take, who not to fly to and so on. Some of these widely […]
A manufacturing work center is a unique machine or assembly area used in a work shop or manufacturing facility. Depending on the job at hand, any combination of work centers may be called upon to complete the task at hand. Different work centers may yield significantly higher quality components or significantly reduce the cost of manufacturing. By properly understanding the work centers available and their applications, the cost associated […]
