Acoustic Sensor for Predictive Maintenance
October 20, 2023
Rotating equipment used in factory production equipment has the risk of sudden production line stoppage due to failure caused by bearing wear or damage, so it is managed by regular maintenance and parts replacement depending on the usage time in general. In preventive maintenance, even usable parts are maintained and replaced, which results in wasted worker resources and parts replacement costs. Today, with the advancement of IoT in factories, shifting to status management that monitors the status of production equipment in real time using sensors can reduce maintenance costs and avoid downtime.
For the reason above, Nisshinbo Micro Devices applied MEMS sensor technology to develop an acoustic sensor that can detect everything from audible sounds to ultrasonic waves.
By monitoring ultrasonic waves, it is possible to detect signs of failure earlier.
