Manufacturing and production in 2022 now faces unprecedented challenges to keep OEE (Overall Equipment Effectiveness) high, and remain profitable in the global market place.
Coupled with the supply chain problems caused by the COVID 19 Pandemic unexpected events happening within the production process are causing extended downtime which is crippling already stressed processes.
This makes selecting and standardizing on best in class Automation and Drive Power and Control Partners more critical than it was yesterday.
Today, Danfoss drives are more than simple power processors. With the ability to act as sensors and sensor hubs, to process, store and analyze data, along with connectivity capabilities, drives are vital elements in modern automation systems. Integrated condition-based monitoring functionality enables new ways of performing maintenance, such as condition-based maintenance.
Information is power but timely information is powerful, today right now the Danfoss drives can monitor what they are connected to and provide back granular data that can be interpolated into
warning messages that provides in real time capabilities to allow the maintenance
team to react before an issue manifests into a critical break down causing dreaded down time.
The Danfoss drive will monitor – Vibration, Turn to Turn short circuits indicating winding failure, Load envelope changes – blocked ducts in HVAC or a potential bearing failure.
Information can be trended back to SCADA systems or can be event based on threshold criticality.
This information can be accessed at the Drive via wireless connection to a smart device, this enables the maintenance team instant access to all Alarm and Fault information allowing fast decision making reducing down time.
Text and email service is also possible for remote application’s like pumpstations.
Contact Ellis & Co for a demonstration in real time via our single phase demo rig showing the power of the condition point monitoring and see the value to your production or process.
