FUTURE OF MAINTENANCE
Smart sensors for predictive maintenance
Predictive maintenance is on the rise. Using IoT (Internet of Things)-supported and smart sensor technology, it helps to prevent plant failures and thus increase operational reliability.
IoT is one of the main drivers of Industry 4.0 and describes the growing digitization and networking of devices and systems. In order to digitize maintenance, reliable data is needed that is collected via smart sensors. The evaluation and analysis of this data provides important information in context, making it possible to make forecasts about the condition of the equipment. In addition to the industrial environment, the possibilities offered by IoT have already proven themselves in the "Smarthome" and "Connected Building" segments.
