Help maintenance planning & improve risk management

Since drive performance data is readily available, making use of this information to find out how equipment operates and why it could fail can let users maximise drive performance and extend its lifetime. ABB’s Remote Condition Monitoring goes a step further by using remote data to identify early signs of possible system failures or production problems.   

“Remote Condition Monitoring is a great tool to enable the end user to optimise maintenance schedules. This new service, which uncovers opportunities for improvement that save both time and money, is the best way to move towards an information-based maintenance strategy,” says global service manager Jaana Kivelä. For instance, the service can spot overheating, which could cause unplanned production breaks and eventually damage the drive. It can also prevent some semiconductor faults.
