Summary of the challenge:
The challenge is to optimize the maintenance process, by enabling machine monitoring dashboards for the optimization of critical parameters, and managing maintenance in a proactive way.
Description:
By combining advanced sensor capability, IoT technology, and data analytics algorithms, maintenance can experience a rapid shift from reactive to proactive: instead of performing maintenance only when failure has already occurred, the strategy is to actively anticipate system degradation and schedule maintenance just in time.
- The application will address at least one of the proactive approaches:
- Preventive maintenance, in which equipment maintenance is performed on a pre-planned schedule in an effort to replace or maintain parts before they fail.
- Predictive maintenance, in which equipment operation is monitored using sensors and historical data is analyzed in an attempt to predict pending failure and address it proactively.
- Prescriptive maintenance, in which equipment operation is continuously monitored using sensors, then real-time and historical data is analyzed by advanced software to prescribe specific maintenance activities that ensure optimal equipment uptime.
An effective process data system will:
- Analyze control states and provide reports and KPI calculations
- Provide hierarchical plant detail and overviews
- Generate data-driven insights and optimization suggestions
- Highlight maintenance issues or automatically take proactive actions
- Create control loop reports and in some cases suggest improvements
Data:
- DM MANAGEMENT & CONSULTING: Machine data trended over time to manage asset health and maintenance. Provides signals (i.e., vibration, power, temperature, electrical data, etc.) mapped to asset inventory, interventions, and maintenance needs (i.e., frequencies, strokes, number of engine revolutions, etc.) detected by the machine.

External Data Provider:
- Provided by applicants
Expected outcomes:
- Optimize plant and machinery usage, by minimizing machine downtime and eliminating complete failure or serious damage.
- Improve process efficiency, by using data analytics to keep targeted data manageable and streamlined.
- Reduce energy usage, by reaching considerable cost savings over the long term.
