Motor Predictive Maintenance Service
Amid the new wave of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, every industry is searching for ways to make existing production methods more efficient — replacing equipment, improving processes, and more. Manufacturers are pursuing digital transformation by building smart factories, and that calls for expensive smart equipment. Beyond the cost of purchase and installation, such equipment carries heavy maintenance costs, and when a breakdown halts the production line, productivity takes a major hit — which is why adoption is no easy decision.
To solve these problems, many companies are considering predictive maintenance, which monitors equipment for signs of failure in real time based on large volumes of collected data. Predictive maintenance services are available through Thingplus as well. In this first post introducing our partners’ services, we take a detailed look at Entec’s motor predictive maintenance service.
The motor predictive maintenance service analyzes the motor’s electrical signals to diagnose faults and predict motor condition. With streamlined features and an intuitive UI/UX, it helps clients optimize their operations.
Overview of All Equipment
The motor predictive maintenance service starts with an overview dashboard that shows the current state of every motor at a glance.
① See at once how many of your machines are in each status.
② Post internal announcements with the notice widget.
③ Each motor appears in the color matching its status, and clicking a motor’s button takes you to its detailed equipment view.
④ View the equipment list as icons or as a table — your choice.
Motor Details
You can also drill into the details of any motor.
① When something goes wrong with a specific part of the motor, it is shown in red and the corresponding diagnostic element appears below the equipment image. The UI is designed so you can tell intuitively, at a glance, which component has what problem.
② The management view is a chart that lays out the equipment’s status as a timeline, making it easy to grasp recent operation.
Trend Data for Equipment Management
The motor predictive maintenance service lets you view equipment metrics as trends, element by element.
– You can compare metrics across elements for a given machine — and compare against your other equipment as well.
– When viewing trends for a single machine, you can display up to 7 additional comparison items alongside.
– Zoom in, zoom out, and pan the graph using mouse scroll and drag.
Event Logging
When a given variable fluctuates, an event is logged automatically.
– Once the variable returns to its normal value after an event, the event is cleared and the time is recorded.
Maintenance Records
A dashboard is provided for managing the maintenance history of your equipment.
– Register new maintenance records as they occur.
– Review past maintenance history along with the information you need to manage the equipment.
Energy Management
Power statistics and power consumption dashboards support energy management. You can review energy management factors across all your equipment.
– Compare the power consumption and operating hours of each machine you own. Pie charts are presented alongside so differences stand out at a glance.
– View power consumption and peak demand as bar graphs. Graphs can be viewed under different conditions (hourly, daily, monthly) and downloaded as Excel files.
Reports
Comprehensive equipment reports are provided. Visualized graphs paired with detailed comments deepen your understanding of equipment status.
– You can browse directly from the dashboard, but the report management feature also lets you schedule email delivery at set intervals (daily/weekly/monthly).
– Emailed reports arrive as attached PDF files in a layout designed for easy printing, making them well suited for reporting.
– The advantage: even without logging into the service, the report feature gives you organized equipment material at a glance.
In this post, we introduced the motor predictive maintenance service. Managing a smart factory efficiently and improving equipment productivity requires predictive maintenance — analyzing equipment data to catch warning signs early and act on them.
