Maintenance and its cost continue, over the years, to draw the attention of production management since the unplanned failures decrease the reliability of the system and also the return of investments. Advanced maintenance techniques that capture and process shop-floor information can reduce costs and increase the sustainability of an enterprise. This paper presents a condition-based preventive maintenance approach integrated into a machine monitoring framework. The latter acquires data from shop-floor machine tools and ana...

Abstract
This paper integrates production, maintenance, and quality for an imperfect process in a multi-period multi-product capacitated lot-sizing context. The production system is modeled as an imperfect machine, whose the status is considered to be either in-control or out-of-control. When the machine is out of control, it produces a fraction of nonconforming items. During each period, this machine is inspected and imperfect preventive maintenance activities are simultaneously performed to reduce its age, ...

Systeme für das Condition Monitoring von Industriemaschinen optimieren die Instandhaltung. Für Geräte wie Stapler oder Kräne existierte dieser Weg bisher noch nicht. Wissenschaftler wollen nun Sensornetzwerke und Algorithmen auch für die Erfassung des Zustands von Maschinen der Intralogistik entwickelt haben.

Perfektion ist der Inbegriff von Vollkommenheit und Unfehlbarkeit. In der Industrie heißt Perfektion Operational Excellence und bedeutet im Hinblick auf die Fertigung die <u>Optimierung der kompletten Prozesskette</u> und minimierten Energieverbrauch, aber auch die Vermeidung von Stillständen durch vorausschauende Instandhaltung.

Low-Voltage Motors Now Integrated in the IoT
At HANNOVER MESSE 2016, ABB was using Smart Sensors to present a Condition Monitoring solution that makes the predictive maintenance of low-voltage motors a truly economic proposal, providing plant operators with far more control, together with new business models for service providers.

by Claire Gowson Asset Management Consultant at eAsset Management So, when was the last time you made a decision based on gut feel? That is, a choice based on what your intuition told you, rather than weighing up more obviously tangible or robust evidence. Was it choosing breakfast (yes – that is the most literal example of gut feel I could think of!)? Deciding whether you wanted a second date? Or was it hiring a new employee? There are some decisions in life where gut feel plays an...

In another industry first, DJI has partnered with Swiss aerial technology company Flyability to integrate the Lightbridge 2, an ultra-reliable image transmission system, with the collision-tolerant Elios aircraft.

Most fault detection systems (FDS) have proved their efficiency in the detection of anomalies and disruptions in technical systems. However, the detection of these anomalies and disruptions is time consuming and not applicable to real-time applications. Moreover many technical systems like e.g. machines and plants require a real-time decision suppo...

Experts say that the digital universe will double in size every 2 years and that by 2020 will reach 44 zettabytes, or 44 trillion gigabytes, containing nearly as many digital bits as there are stars in the universe (Source: IDC). With advanced analytics, this Big Data is being transformed into smart data, revolutionizing business models across all industries, including energy. As this digital revolution magnifies, Siemens is driving pioneering new digital services and expanding its current service solutions for its global customers. The Siemens Power Generation Services Division has been advancing the development of digital trends, building upon its more than 20 years of experience collecting and analyzing data as part of its power diagnostics services. The company is deploying proje...

There's a great deal of pressure to use modern technology for coordinating logistics and overcoming business challenges— particularly in manufacturing, where processes can be complex and efficiency is key. Surprisingly, though, there's been a notable decline in recent months in companies relying on outside software providers to help them manage operations. The market for outsourcing just isn't what it used to be. Largely, this is the case because companies are moving away from client server-based software and embracing cloud platforms instead. This is unsurprising—it's a natural stage in the evolution of business technology. Cloud-based systems, such as flexibly-designed computerized maintenance management system (CMMS), reduce the need for customizations and implem...
The right maintenance strategy is performing the right task at the right time. Asset performance management (APM) is a process that ensures that assets are safe, reliable, and efficient over their operating life.

Engineering asset management encompasses all types of engineered assets from infrastructure and equipment to software systems across all sectors of industry and the public sector. Successful asset management requires multidisciplinary approaches. The WCEAM 2015 conference slogan reminds us of the fact that physical assets are not there for their own sake, but to create value for their owners, users and other stakeholders.
