Reduce unplanned downtime with 24/7 condition monitoring

    Whether legacy or new, industrial equipment requires proper maintenance to maximize its lifespan. Aging equipment is one of the top causes of unplanned downtime, so manufacturers experiencing high maintenance costs can benefit from a new strategy. Traditional preventive maintenance methods take place at scheduled intervals and require skilled workers to complete time-consuming manual processes. Problems arising between inspection dates may go unnoticed, and companies may replace equipment prematurely.

    Predictive maintenance, on the other hand, is a proactive strategy that involves evaluating your equipment’s condition through continuous monitoring. The goal is to use real-time data to identify component failures early, reduce unplanned downtime and avoid costly repairs.

    Monitor equipment remotely

    Omron’s predictive maintenance devices allow multiple pieces of equipment to be monitored simultaneously using EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP communication.

    Reduce maintenance costs

    By implementing predictive maintenance solutions, manufacturers can achieve significant savings relative to traditional maintenance by reducing manual inspections.

    Reduce unplanned downtime

    Real-time monitoring of actual machine conditions can significantly reduce the number of unexpected and catastrophic failures by catching abnormalities sooner.
