Retro-fit Digitalization of Heterogenous Machine Parks
Increasing the Scalability of IoT Sensors through Energy Harvesting
Batteryless IoT Sensors for Industry 4.0
Lecturer: Dr. Michael Niggemann, Founder & Managing Director, Enerthing
Title: Retro-fit Digitalization of Heterogenous Machine Parks - Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) and Condition Monitoring with Self-powered Sensors
Content:
- OEE analysis and retro-fit of auxiliary equipment and manual processes
- Condition monitoring of pumps, motors, conveyor belts and storage areas
- Cycle detection and counting of processes and production units
- Automatic alarm notification
- Digitalization of 24-Volt sIgnals
- Vibration, temperature and humidity trends in production areas
- Upload of sensor data into existing software like ERP or MES
Cable and battery changes can significantly affect the scalability of IoT sensors for Industry 4.0 applications. In Enerthing's lecture, photovoltaic-powered IoT sensors will be presented based on specific use cases. These include overall plant effectiveness analysis, condition monitoring of equipment such as pumps, motors, conveyors and bearings, and production cycle measurements.
The battery-free sensors can measure vibration, temperature and humidity in industrial processes and manufacturing environments, and transmit the data to a dashboard. Deviations are detected in almost real time and a warning is sent.
