How to Utilize AI in Asset Management

ATS

Whether it’s short-term catch up or long-term maintenance relief, the key issue AI addresses is downtime. Rather than waiting for an expensive piece of equipment to break and then servicing it, performing preventive maintenance can provide massive cost savings and time savings over the long term.

Is Industry 4.0, smart manufacturing working for you?

Control Engineering

be changing how stakeholders approach automation, controls and instrumentation? changing how companies approach automation, controls and instrumentation? This term was famously announced in 2011 at Hannover Fair as part of the German High-Tech Strategy, and since then it has taken hold across the world. Is there an Industry 5.0?

Understanding Sensor Data Collection

ATS

Inexpensive accelerometers can measure this vibration in multiple axes and output data to an analysis instrument. Time series data vs. sensor data These two terms are sometimes used interchangeably, but they are different. Vibration Rotating machinery like pumps, fans and motors usually has a characteristic vibration signature.

Industrial Pressure Sensors

ATS

The difference between pressure sensors, transducers and transmitters Pressure sensors, pressure transducers and pressure transmitters are each able to take pressure measurements and produce data and output, but they are not identical or interchangeable devices or terms.

Movers & Shakers with Mr. Frantz Saintellemy, President & Chief Operating Officer, LeddarTech

Frost & Sullivan Manufacturing

While scalability typically refers to the ability to adapt to different levels of automation (from ADAS to highly automated driving), LeddarVision’s modularity extends this concept. Modularity refers to the software’s ability to efficiently handle various use cases, features and sensor sets while maintaining a unified architecture.

A look at digital transformation using the cloud

Control Engineering

The expanse of DX and IIoT topics can be overwhelming even to someone more experienced on the OT side. Comprehensive cloud architecture comprises six layers (Figure 1), spanning everything from an individual field instrument to enterprise-wide management networks. The term “edge” is misleading because it is at the center of so much.

The Maintenance Maturity Model Roadmap

ATS

The approach (or approaches — not every item needs the same level of attention) they select can be defined in terms of the Maintenance Maturity Model. Accordingly, equipment is instrumented with sensors that measure a characteristic or parameter and indicate when attention is needed. This provides both a framework and a roadmap.
