New Condition Monitoring for 4.0

From Reactive to Predictive Maintenance and Service
Digitization, Industry 4.0 and Big Data are currently shaping developments in service and maintenance. Data acquisition on the current condition of a plant is under the spotlight. However, data is not an end in itself, nor does it provide added value or a recommended action on its own. Gaining insight is the real challenge: using data and information to develop real knowledge and an understanding of the mechanisms and interrelationships. Bachmann understands that predictive maintenance and service requires a new, strategic use of condition monitoring.

Perfect Energy Management

PLC-Integrated Power Measurement for Energy Optimization and Uninterrupted Supply
A stable power supply is the backbone of any high-quality manufacturing facility. The range of tasks varies according to stakeholders, location and production targets. At typical offshore locations with an unreliable power supply infrastructure, this primarily involves monitoring compliance with the set grid quality in order to maintain both high product quality and long service lives. 

Peak load reduction may become a core task when connections are poor or energy processes intense. Alternatively, grid measurement technology can provide early fault detection based on the high-resolution load profiles produced during specific process steps.
