What are the main benefits of IoT technology for industrial businesses
RM Registered Member
Registered Member I think something we overlook and don't realise with IOT technology is that it completely changes the dynamic of how a buisness works regardless of industry. take for instance a simple vibration sensors with cloud capabilities which has alarm limits set and a data trend history - by itself it can tell you in real time what's happening to the specific location giving a 24/7 window of opportunity to not only view the previous history also to view when a projected issue might occur as the mm/s...

As engineer, how do you feel about AI-based Predictive Maintenece?
RM Registered Member
Registered Member very interesting question and rich dialogue. From my side , as electric utility engineer there is so much talk and focus on smart grid, and industry 4.0. for data Analytics , there is big project for that depending on sensory data and ERP system database, and the use cases are promising. for predictive maintenance /condition monitoring, the management asked for complete AI based system especially for underground cables which fail suddenly . in my view , we are still in premature state and...

Registered Member You just posted an ad for your product..and the answer is still the same. AI Industry 4.0 stuff still isn't good enough to replace periodic measurements by a competent inspector and then the visual inspection element also. [ more ]

Shaft speed measurement using magnetometer
RM Registered Member
Registered Member I have not found any document. I think the application is limited to motors only. [ more ]
Registered Member I'm not familiar with this brand. Is there any explanatory document on how this casing sensor would measure the shaft speed? Regards- Ali M. Al-Shurafa [ more ]
Registered Member Any rotating shaft; it is mentioned here that magnetometer is used for speed measurement https://petasense.com/wp-conte...roduct-Datasheet.pdf [ more ]

What is not IR4.0?
RM Registered Member
Registered Member Thank you for mentioning wireless. Does it really matter if the communication is wired or wireless to consider a system IR4.0? With respect to Wikipedia's description, it contains many terms that require further definitions. What is the "latest smart technology", for example? Regards- Ali M. Al-Shurafa [ more ]
Registered Member I think Wikipedia says it best. “ Industry 4.0 , the fourth industrial revolution [1] , encompasses combination of traditional manufacturing and industrial platforms and practices with the latest smart technology. This primarily focuses on the use of large-scale machine to machine communication (M2M) and Internet of Things (IoT) deployments to provide increased automation, improved communication and self-monitoring, as well as smart machines that can analyse and diagnose issues without the...

Dynamic range
RM Registered Member
Registered Member I went back to an old (perhaps too old) manual form IRD and found this specification for another (but similar model). Your model is Model 546DP while the below specs are for Model 544. I've also checked an old 546DP to measure how much the rod can retract and extend. The span I found is about 0.5". I hope this helps a little. Regards- Ali M. Al-Shurafa [ more ]
Registered Member This probe is less commonly used nowadays. I saw it mounted on large machinery like forced draft fans in power plants where the speed is relatively low. It's more common on balancing machines (feild or shop) specially from IRD. Some portable (route) vibration programs use this type of probe also. I can't give a definite answer to your question but my guess based on my understanding of this sensor is that the dynamic range (125 mil pp) would be the reliable reading range from the generated...

Registered Member It is a velocity sensor Please look at attached file [ more ]

How Machine Learning Will Tame the Explosion of Unstructured Data
RM Registered Member
Registered Member Let's set the stage here for the most successful system I've set up in the past of this type. The situation is that the plant was making cast pipe for municipal plants. Downtime was about 10-20% of production compared to industry averages of around 1%. Scrap rates were running around 5-6% compared to industry averages of around 3%. Something had to be done but mostly the improvement meetings consisted of sitting around and pointing fingers. QC was already tracking defects into a SQL... [ more ]
Registered Member I found the section about using machine learning to add structure to be the most impactful. Getting the system to sift through the data and find items interest rather than just being a database to house information would allow businesses to be more efficient in identifying and acting on what is relevant.
