Continuous fitness check predicts potential machine faults

It keeps a constant eye on the condition of the machine, it carries out diagnostic analyses and it notifies the operator when a part needs to be replaced. Researchers have developed an early warning system for industrial assembly, handling and packaging processes.
Intelligent sensors continuously collect a wide array of measurement data from inside plant machinery and compare the signal patterns against those for normal operating conditions. If the system detects a difference in the patterns that indicates a potential fault, it immediately notifies the equipment operator about what remedial measures should be taken (News Item Saarland University, 4 April 2017).
