Predictive Maintenance
Description
Many facilities leverage preventative maintenance to ensure the proper functioning of equipment through routine inspections and by making assumptions about the status of the equipment based on the age of the equipment and how often it is used. However, preventative maintenance can lead to unnecessary repairs or missed status cues that can result in unnecessary expenses or delays in service.
By implementing a predictive maintenance solution comprised of sensors and gateways embedded with LoRa Technology and an intelligent low power wide area network based on the LoRaWAN™ protocol, information on equipment temperature, power, sound, and more can be gathered. This information can then be sent to facility managers who can determine when a problem appears to be developing and schedule maintenance at the most convenient time while saving significantly in maintenance costs.
Benefits
- Identify potential equipment problems before they occur by monitoring temperature, power, sound, and other elements using sensors embedded with LoRa Technology
- Reduce downtime and maintenance costs
- Easy to set up and low power operation ensures sensor batteries can last up to 20 years
- Sensors placed on equipment throughout a facility can monitor equipment function to alert facility managers of status so that they may identify problems before they occur and reduce downtime and maintenance costs.
