Reducing unplanned downtime events, optimizing maintenance activities, and increasing plant safety are key benefits every plant manager and maintenance team aims to achieve.
With the introduction of FactoryTalk Analytics GuardianAI, maintenance engineers can now make more efficient maintenance decisions. It provides predictive maintenance insights through motor current signature analysis and seamlessly integrates with PowerFlex® 755, 755T, and 6000T variable frequency drives.
So, what is FactoryTalk Analytics GuardianAI, and why should you be excited?
FactoryTalk Analytics GuardianAI is an AI-infused, condition-based monitoring application that focuses on continuous system monitoring. Its primary arsenal is its application of advanced analytics and machine learning. By incorporating these sophisticated technologies, maintenance engineers can unlock crucial insights into the health of their assets and systems, effectively helping to foresee and prevent costly asset downtime.
One thing that sets FactoryTalk Analytics GuardianAI apart is its ability to detect even the smallest drifts and shifts in system performance, identifying anomalies automatically. This feature allows maintenance engineers to spot potential issues before they balloon into larger, more disruptive problems.
The outcome? Improved operational efficiency, reduced downtime, and increased productivity.
In an industry where any downtime can result in significant losses, FactoryTalk Analytics GuardianAI empowers maintenance engineers with the data-driven insights needed to proactively manage their assets.
From Reactive to Proactive
Maintenance activities are usually performed proactively based on manufacturer's recommendations. While this helps prevent unexpected downtime, the challenge comes when an upcoming failure goes undetected. FactoryTalk Analytics GuardianAI assists in making maintenance engineers’ tasks easier by providing insights into the current condition of the assets on the plant floor. This software provides predictive maintenance insights via continuous condition-based monitoring, helping maintenance engineers take action at the right time, reduce unplanned downtime and optimize their activities.
Leverage Your Existing Drives as Sensors
No need to purchase additional sensors or monitoring equipment. With FactoryTalk Analytics GuardianAI, you receive early warnings of potential asset failures based on data available from your variable-frequency drives. It uses the electrical signal from the drive to monitor the condition of a plant asset. When it detects a deviation in the signal, it alerts you, enabling you to investigate and plan the correct response.
No Data Science Required
The deployment process is seamless. FactoryTalk Analytics GuardianAI uses self-service, browser-based experience to save time. The learning process is automatic and happens right at the edge, enabling high-speed data analysis to alert maintenance engineers of anomalies at the very first sign of deviation.
One of the key features is the ability to label anomalies. This allows the software to recognize the same issue when it occurs again, thereby providing you with real-time notifications.
To manage your FactoryTalk Analytics GuardianAI edge devices and application deployments centrally, securely and at scale, FactoryTalk Edge Manager is the go-to solution for higher productivity and efficiency.
FactoryTalk Analytics GuardianAI serves as your key to unlocking predictive maintenance insights from variable-frequency drive data, making your maintenance operations more efficient and effective.
