Nowadays, the fact that machines in the factory are always broken suddenly and affecting the production progress is really a headache for many people who are engaged in production management! Then, do you know? It is the saying that you can tell the machine in advance that something might be wrong. It is not nonsense, it can really help! Speaking of this, we provide global procurement services for weak current intelligent products! Help you get more things you need.
Simply put, it is about using some technical means to watch the various data running in real time, such as temperature, vibration frequency, current and voltage of the circuit, etc., and then analyze these data to guess whether the machine will break down at some point in the future, and tell people to repair it in advance so that it will not suddenly stop working.
To make this thing really work, there must be several steps, and none of them can be missing:
1. The data is collected enough : the machine must be equipped with various sensors, such as temperature, vibration, sound, and current. All of them must be raised… No one that may be useful can be missed. The more you collect, the better.
2. Buy a suitable analysis device software : This analysis data cannot be handled casually by the human brain. It must have a special computer, an APP for analysis, or software. It must process piles of complicated data like a powerful brain;
3. Set a reasonable alarm threshold? : That is to say, it is wrong to have a certain data above or below the value of the machine. This boundary must be set just right. You cannot set it too tightly and call the police. You cannot call it too loose and it will be broken and it will not be reported!
Why do you have to work hard on this? Compared with the old ones who have problems and repair them, or if they are not good or bad, they can be opened and checked. There are many benefits: it can save at least 30% of the repair costs compared to post-event repairs, because the problem is smaller in advance; it can make the machine more useful than regular inspections; it can also make production basically uninterrupted, and the production efficiency will rise rapidly, and the more things you produce in a year can be produced.
There are often some questions that are difficult to understand here, so I have to say it carefully:
_Q: Are these sensors easy to install? Should I stop the machine to produce it when installing it? _
A: Nowadays, many sensors are the kind that do not require complicated wiring, just wireless. They can be directly attached to the machine. You may have to plan for a short time when installing it, but basically you don’t need to stop the machine for a long time to delay production. It will be safe quickly.
_Q: What should I do if there is too much data, I can’t analyze it or if the analysis is wrong? _
A: There is no need to hurry. At the beginning, you can try it with a simpler model. When you are proficient in using it, you can understand the rules in the data, and then slowly change to a more powerful and more variety of analytical model. Just do it step by step, and it will always be done.
I personally think that the more machines there are and the production cannot be stopped, the more you need to start this system quickly. The earlier you use it, the more money you save and the more trouble you reduce. It is really a very cost-effective investment! Otherwise, if you regret it when the machine breaks down, it will be too late!
