Machinery Monitoring | IoT Technologies

IoT-enabled machine condition monitoring is a technique for tracking a machine’s health and performance over time. With condition monitoring, manufacturers measure parameters like temperature, current, vibration, and RPM against set thresholds in order to pin-point signs of degradation.

Machinery Management & Monitoring – Q&A

What is machine to machine in IoT?

Machine-to-machine communication, or M2M, is exactly as it sounds: two machines “communicating,” or exchanging data, without human interfacing or interaction. This includes serial connection, powerline connection (PLC), or wireless communications in the industrial Internet of Things (IoT).

What is the difference between IoT and IIoT?

Both concepts have the same main character of availability, intelligent and connected devices. The only difference between those two is their general usages. While IoT is most commonly used for consumer usage, IIoT is used for industrial purpose such as manufacturing, supply chain monitor and management system.

What are the advantages of condition monitoring?

Condition-based monitoring provides a myriad of benefits, including 24×7 remote monitoring, early warnings of potential (serious) failures, reduction in unplanned downtime, reduction in maintenance costs, support ongoing reliability and risk reduction with less inspections at heights, confined and remote assets.

Why is vibration monitoring important?

Vibration screening is one of the most effective ways to detect and prevent equipment failure or downtime. It can screen most faults including imbalance, misalignment, looseness and late-stage bearing wear, providing precipitous warning of impending failure.

How is IoT useful in manufacturing?

Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is a way to digital transformation in manufacturing. Industrial IoT employs a network of sensors to collect critical production data and uses cloud software to turn this data into valuable insights about the efficiency of the manufacturing operations.
