Increase availability and minimize planned downtimes. Detect drivetrain anomalies early so blockages and unplanned downtimes are reduced or eliminated.
What if your drivetrain could proactively tell you that something is not going to operate as smoothly as it should?
This bundle of interoperable products enables you to forecast anomalies. Knowing the health of your machinery helps optimize production time since you can limit maintenance to only when its required and have spare parts ready to go when needed, keeping downtime to a minimum.
Get alerted if any parameter is out of preset norms — temperature, electricity overload, damage in bearings, etc — by the AI-based forecast for anomalies in IGBT (insulated-gate bipolar transistor).
Apply this solution for drivetrain anomaly prevention to drivetrains made by non-Siemens companies, such as ABB, Schneider Electric and more.
Set up your preventive maintenance operations quickly and easily — specialized knowledge is not needed. Define variables for data collection and forward them to the app to start anomaly detection.
Leverage drivetrain and converter performance prediction to keep planned downtime to a minimum and reduce maintenance costs.
Get started with Industrial Edge device functionality without the need for a dedicated physical hardware device. Run it on standard virtualization platforms (VMware ESXi/vSphere or Microsoft Hyper-V).
Gather data from devices via S7 for Siemens equipment or a drive connector for others.
Use your Industrial Edge Hub to access and manage applications as well as connect devices, enable data processing and deploy apps. Your Industrial Edge Management license enables your edge device to connect to the hub.
Flow Creator is a tool to define data flows with a graphical user interface. Define which data needs to be processed where, and then copy the flow to multiple data collecting devices.
Databus is an intermediate layer on the edge device to collect data and make it accessible to applications.
Analytics: Use the Predictive Service Analyzer - Converter app to detect signs of initial damage in a drivetrain before it affects the entire production, based on real-time data from SINAMICS frequency converters. Use the information to make targeted decisions to prevent machine failures and optimize machine operation.

Tetra Pak is a world-leading food processing and packaging solutions company.
Challenge: Tetra Pak needed a reliable and predictive maintenance solution to add transparency to their packaging material factory to prevent downtime. They needed timely detection of potential faults and the implementation of counter-measures during standard maintenance intervals.
Solution: Siemens service experts implemented a digital condition monitoring solution for drives: they installed the Predictive Service Analyzer application and artificial intelligence. Tetra Pak now has transparency over drive conditions and analysis of data parameters (voltage, temperature, DC busbar fluctuations and many more).
