TOPIC
Preventing downtime through early detection of bearing faults, using wireless remote condition monitoring

Learn how they leveraged predictive analytics to identify early bearing failure by analyzing the data collected from equipment sensors. With using the power of machine learning algorithms, the team identified patterns and anomalies in the data, which indicated potential bearing failures.

This allowed us to provide early warning alerts to the manufacturer, enabling them to take proactive measures to address the issue before it became critical. By predicting bearing failure, it helped the manufacturer avoid costly equipment downtime, saving money in lost production and repair cost.
