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.

Motion Amplification Case Study: Structural Looseness
This case study features a convection oven fan used in the customer's production process. Multiple welds and other repairs were made prior to the inspection. A service team was called in to balance the fan, but with Motion Amplification it quickly became clear that there was a serious structural issue.
