Leverage data in meaningful ways
The IIoT is the collective name for the technologies that connect industrial field devices, such as sensors, to the cloud. This system makes information readily available to users while allowing smart manufacturing plants to leverage data in more meaningful ways than before. With Banner Industry 4.0 products, companies can take more data-driven actions by enabling such capabilities as remote monitoring, predictive analytics and maintenance, and calculations of overall equipment effectiveness, or OEE.
Customers can easily get started with IIoT by solving major challenges on their own factory floors. Banner IIoT solutions from Advanced Motion & Controls come with practical applications and tangible advantages for many factories; some allow employees to monitor the efficiency and performance of their production lines, while others let users know when equipment will require maintenance or replacement in the near future.
One useful application is vibration monitoring for predictive maintenance, in a wireless solution that helps to prevent unnecessary downtime. Users can detect issues before they become catastrophic and shut down production, by monitoring motors, pumps, compressors, fans, blowers, and gearboxes for increases in vibration. Banner IIoT products offer other practical applications for smart factories:
- Remote monitoring. Allows higher visibility into the performance and efficiency of machines, processes, and employees.
- Overall equipment effectiveness. Remote-monitoring capabilities offer information for OEE calculations, making it simpler for users to identify causes of waste.
- Tank-level monitoring. Monitoring tank levels remotely helps boost efficiency while improving productivity and profit.
- Factory communication. Better communication throughout plants, with streamlined processes for machines and workers.
- IO-Link. Reduced wiring, higher data availability, and other benefits.
