Simple and Easy Steps for Implementing Predictive Maintenance in Machinery using High Frequency Vibration Data and Edge AI
Currently, the most commonly used standard for maintenance processes is Time-based Maintenance (TBM) that involves inspection, repair, and part replacement at regular intervals. In general, TBM is not optimal and cost effective. On the other hand, Condition-based Maintenance (CBM) involves the utilization of various types of sensor data collected from machines to perform repairs or other countermeasures before malfunctions or anomalies occur, hence reducing the unnecessary cost of maintenance.

Wireless technology is often perceived as being more expensive and less secure than traditional wired methods, but the opposite is true. Wiring can be at risk of damage in harsh environments, both during operation and maintenance so going wireless reduces the cost of installation, minimizes risk and is an affordable way to retrofit machines needing monitoring.
