Be prepared and win from afar
Industries are recovering from the global pandemic. As we look forward to accelerated growth, we must also reflect on the insights the pandemic has offered us, i.e. the adoption of remote work through IoT technologies. Predictive maintenance for industrial and electrical equipment is a remote maintenance approach based on data analysis and machine learning. It aims to monitor and maintain equipment before failures occur, reducing downtime and repair costs, and enhancing equipment reliability and production efficiency.
Background
Many industrial and electrical equipment are distributed worldwide, used by other B2B manufacturers. Proper functioning of these devices is key to efficient production and operations. OEMs are seeking predictive maintenance solutions but face several challenges:
- Difficulty in data acquisition: Inconsistent data protocols, varying data formats, and the performance limitations of data collection devices
- Poor data quality: Large data volumes, high percentage of invalid data, and inconsistent data units
- Complex device connectivity: High costs for wired networking in factories, high requirements for network reliability
- Data security risks: Privacy concerns network security measures
