Predictive maintenance with vision systems
Predictive maintenance with vision systems replaces traditional scheduling with a system based on real data.
A camera observes the condition of the component during operation and reports when it approaches the critical threshold.
Tool tips, blades, hooks, ropes, rollers and in general all elements under continuous stress. On a production line as well as on an operating vehicle.
Wire ropes and cables
Surface and strand analysis
On winches and lifting equipment, the system follows the spooling in real time, recognizes cable positioning errors and inspects the strands for signs of wear, before they can turn into a risk.
The same principle applies to hooks, chains and gripping devices: the measurement is repeatable, it comes at every cycle and does not depend on the operator or on the time available.
Continuous production lines
Where the risk of breakage becomes machine downtime
On high-volume, high-speed machines and lines, the benefit is measured in avoided stoppages.
Scrap noticed too late, unnoticed breakages and material buildup are situations that can easily be avoided by installing a vision system.
The collected data feeds statistical reports that make it possible to optimize the line and avoid waste.
