New animated video shows how machine monitoring helps your systems run more smoothly.
In a factory setting, automation enhances speed and productivity. But, machine breakdowns can lead to significant downtime costs.
This is where machine monitoring plays an important role. Watch this new video for a fun explanation of what machine monitoring is, how to implement it, and how it can improve your processes without interrupting them.
But harmony can be fragile. It only takes one machine falling out of step to throw everything off. And when machines break, downtime costs add up fast.
Machine monitoring tracks things like vibration, temperature, and flow to catch problems before they stop production. The Industrial Internet of Things makes it easy to connect sensors, see data, and get alerts in real time. And you don't have to disturb existing equipment or processes.
groov EPIC and groov RIO edge devices make monitoring simple. Their open standards give you the freedom to use the software tools and protocols that work best for your application. That means you can:
- Connect with MQTT or OPC UA
- Build flows with Node-RED
- Program in Ladder Logic (CODESYS) or Python
- Integrate seamlessly with platforms like Inductive Automation's Ignition
Continuous monitoring cuts downtime, lowers maintenance costs, and keeps equipment running smoothly.
