Prescient- Industry-Specific Applications of Remote Machine Monitoring and Predictive Maintenance

1. Industry-Specific Applications of Remote Machine Monitoring and Predictive Maintenance Remote machine monitoring systems are a boon for multinational companies. These systems allow managers to monitor their overseas operations from one command centre. You don’t need a separate command room to monitor the machines at each location. Apart from a centralised monitoring feature, these machines can detect faults easily and alert the concerned authorities. Therefore, they have massive applications in all sorts of industries. Let us explore each of these industries in detail. Manufacturing One of the biggest adopters of predictive maintenance is the manufacturing industry. Manufacturers have factories in several locations around the world. A central monitoring system allows them to supervise the health conditions of the machine. Moreover, it also detects faults and potential failures to alert the concerned executives. Energy Energy power plants also use predictive maintenance. Imagine a large power company like Reliance. They have power plants in multiple locations around the country. Therefore, the chief supervisor will need a central monitoring system to ensure reliable energy generation. The system will assist in the maintenance of the following parts: ● Power Plant Components ● Wind Turbines ● Solar Panels Our country’s energy generation has significantly increased after adopting remote sensing and monitoring systems. Transportation Transportation companies also need to monitor their fleet. They need a proper system that monitors the movement of assets like vehicles, aircraft, and trains. Predictive maintenance software is beneficial for safety and cost savings. It alerts the owners about any mishaps in the fleet, and they can take corrective action to fix any mechanical issues. Oil and Gas The oil and gas industry has rigs, drilling equipment, and other heavy machinery. Large corporations like BP or Enron supervise the entire pipeline using similar monitoring systems.

2. These systems have proven to be very efficient in detecting leaks and faults. BP has significantly reduced the number of oil spills from this system. The system's build quality is such that it absorbs all kinds of shocks and damage and maintains its shape. Healthcare A hospital has numerous screening devices and surgery equipment. Hence, a perfect monitoring system ensures that all these devices and machines remain in the best condition. Such measures ensure patient and staff safety at all times. Moreover, they also increase the efficiency of the hospital by maintaining the optimum conditions of the ventilation and waste management systems. Data Centers Data centres present in IT companies and government offices have sensitive information about citizens and corporations. Appropriate security measures must always protect such information. Although cybersecurity actions ensure that the information is protected virtually, we also need to protect the systems physically. Servers, hardware and cooling systems should work in optimum conditions to ensure security. Remote machine monitoring systems and predictive maintenance have become indispensable tools across various industries. These technologies offer significant benefits in terms of efficiency, reliability, and cost savings. Organisations can optimise their operations and ensure the safety and security of their assets.
