Embedding AI in smart sensors.

Operational Impact
  • [Data Management - Connectivity Stability]

    Application-independent, the solution prevents downtimes in production through AI-based early fault detection.

    Edge AI - benefits and advantages:

    • Increase performance by reducing latency
    • Large number of data points can be measured
    • Evaluation even without the internet
    • No data transfer between shopfloors, countries etc. needed
    • Companies can expand their computing capacity through a combination of IoT devices and edge data centers
  • [Efficiency Improvement - Maintenance]

    Thanks to the scalable edge computing solution, incipient defects are now detected at an early stage. Maintenance measures can be planned effectively. Monitoring of the valves is possible in real-time even if the WLAN connection is briefly interrupted and is visualized by means of a clear dashboard.

    • Maintenance processes can be planned in a demand-oriented and cost-efficient manner.
    • Data-based condition monitoring is possible in real-time.
    • Fail-safe operation of the production facilities.
    • Time & personnel expenditure in the maintenance process is reduced.
