Newly developed sensor helps mounted bearings get their IoT on

经过保罗Heney|February 14, 2019

We’ve been hearing for quite a few years that the IoT will be affecting virtually every type of component. And now, thanks to ABB’s new Ability Smart Sensor for Dodge mounted bearings, the IoT has now come to this traditional motion control component.

The sensor is a part of the company’s Ability Digital Powertrain, which enables health checks for bearings. The smart sensor technology provides an early indicator of any potential problems by assessing the condition of bearings from vibration and temperature information. This helps to prevent downtime on applications such as bulk material handling conveyors typically found in industries that include mining, aggregate, grain handling and cement, as well as in applications for the food and beverage and air handling sectors.

传感器技术产品经理Artur Rdzanek在ABB的Dodge Mechanical Products解释说,客户希望能够分析其机械系统中的所有数据点。

“This is why we have machine learning, this is why we have artificial intelligence. We cannot stop this process, it’s already happening. This is why we moved, we would like to help our customers to go through this transformation,” Rdzanek said.

根据Rdzanek的说法,ABB团队花了大约三年的时间开发该产品。他说,这并不是一件容易的事,因为他们必须处理硬件,软件,固件,云计算和网络安全问题的组合来完成它。

The Ability Smart Sensor for mounted bearings uses the latest algorithms to assess, manage and ensure the bearings’ performance. An estimated 80% of bearing failures are lubrication related — and a bearing that is running hot can indicate that proper lubrication procedures are not in place. For example, monitoring a bearing’s vibration can indicate potential system problems.

智能传感器可以轻松地安装在轴承上,并通过智能手机或其他设备无线通信。这种能力可确保员工安全,从而可以轻松访问可能难以或危险的位置中轴承的健康数据。

“Bearings are critical components in conveyor systems and are often the first indicator of a system problem,” said Rdzanek. “The display of the health status of the bearing enables operators to quickly and safely identify a potential problem, which allows them to schedule maintenance and prevent unplanned downtime.”

ABB的总产品经理Matt Frady强调,传感器产品对客户有五个主要好处:

  • 安全性提高 - 传统上,例行维护会引起安全危害,因为员工正在围绕复杂的旋转设备工作……或试图达到难以进入或危险的轴承。具有智能传感器的能力,可以远程监视轴承的能力可以使维护和其他相关人员安全地对轴承进行健康检查,而无需实际触摸设备。
  • 提高生产率 - 不知道轴承的健康使系统有过不及时设备故障的风险。这可能导致过程中断,计划外停机时间,并最终失去收入。在这里,趋势数据可以帮助开发用于监视性能的模式,并最终能够预测替换时间表。
  • 减少的维护 - 之前,基于经验,培训以及工厂中始终如何完成的维护始终只是例行时间表。现在,可以根据实际需求而不是基于通用或任意时间表来计划维护。
  • 消除计划外停止 - 通常,用户对何时发生组件故障的可见性几乎没有可见性。凭借智能传感器的能力,警告健康状况的警告使人员可以计划维护……在出现问题之前,系统降低了。

简单设置和使用
该系统也易于使用。它是为快速简便的安装和激活而设计的。该传感器正在操作电池,没有接线,特殊工具或特殊软件。道奇安装的轴承准备传感器,并带有钻孔,螺纹和插头的安装孔。智能传感器是通过将插头和将传感器拧入提供的插座来安装的。但是翻新并不是问题 - 使用特殊的适配器传感器,在现有的道奇轴承上安装很容易,简单,并且可以保持油脂螺柱的原始功能。仅通过按LED激活开关来激活传感器。

该公司提供免费访问ABB的数据趋势能力。ABB能力将公司的所有数字解决方案和服务汇总在一起,每种服务和服务都是由部门理解,技术知识和数字专业知识的独特组合构建的。在这里,客户可以轻松地比较跨系统或工厂的轴承的性能数据。

现在,可以通过智能传感器应用在您的手中直接执行高级有条件监视。该应用程序可以轻松考虑,无论您身在何处,该应用程序都可以随时了解所有轴承的最新信息。只需为任何基于iOS或基于Android的设备下载ABB能力智能传感器应用程序即可。一些功能是:

  • 直观界面:简单的图形接口易于使用和理解。
  • 交通信号灯系统:轴承健康与交通信号灯图标一起显示,以快速向用户展示该轴承的状态。
  • 推送通知:当条件发生变化时,可以立即通知您。该应用程序允许您根据自己的偏好获取通知。
  • 持续的沟通:当事件发生时,组织中的每个人都可以知道。这还允许记录谁关闭事件以及发表了什么评论。
  • Event log: All maintenance performed on a bearing can be scheduled and recorded in the app, providing an easy to access record of service for each bearing.
  • 资产标识:每个轴承均通过零件号注册,该轴是在替换时提供引用。
  • 远程位置的访问:当轴承位于难以到达位置时,在移动设备范围之外,可以使用网关自动将传感器数据通过蓝牙低能发送到ABB能力平台。最多可以将20个智能传感器连接到一个网关。
