  • 1.  Exploring predictive maintenance for secondary machines that are not equipped with sensor suites

    Posted 01-18-2023 05:01 PM
    Hey everyone - am currently exploring predictive maintenance solutions for lower priority machines (unlike the key machines that are already equipped with a sensor suite) but still can affect factory downtime. Am curious if other people are facing similar issues and whether they have tried solutions that have worked well?

    Would recommend taking a look at Tractian (https://tractian.com), got to see their product at a glass plant in PA and it looks easy to implement for the purpose you mentioned. DM me if you want to connect to the users there.

    Hi Richard,

    This is a great question. There are many technologies on the market to support predictive maintenance efforts, and most have focused on "A" list assets. "B" and "C" assets are now becoming a priority however it requires a cost-effective and scalable solution. More than happy to support to provide insight into these solutions to support your overall vision.

    We've deployed a hundred Nanoprecise sensors, they are very easy to install.

    You can always explore Emerson's AMS Asset Monitor, to see how to get the benefits of online monitoring for your balance-of-plant assets that are critical and still affect plant downtime.
