Keeping Machines Healthy

Machines in the manufacturing industry are much like the engine of a motor car. Careful monitoring to ensure the smooth functioning of the equipment is imperative to keep a business afloat in the manufacturing landscape. To do so, manufacturing organizations need machines that can constantly monitor the health of their manufacturing equipment to avoid technical malfunction and mishaps. The identification of a machine malfunction or a similar incident before it goes haywire can save enterprises from the pain of huge maintenance costs and unwarranted downtime. Earlier, in traditional methods of management, manually supervising manufacturing machines meant installing fault detection devices with piles of tangled up cables and wiring, which not only brought along high installation costs but also made it difficult to check the equipment. However, with the onset of innovative solutions integrated with wireless technology that offer better analytical capabilities and reliability with their robust design, the trend of manual supervision is gradually fading away. Spearheading this change with their advanced health analytics tools that are integrated with cognitive technologies such as machine learning and artificial intelligence is ERBESSD INSTRUMENTS.

Combining the best of cutting-edge technology and innovation, ERBESSD INSTRUMENTS offers high quality, easy-to-use dynamic balancing, vibration analysis, online monitoring, and laser alignment products that help manufacturers make informed decisions about the health of their manufacturing assets. “Our portfolio of solutions includes the widest variety of predictive and prescriptive machine analysis tools available,” says the CEO ERBESSD INSTRUMENTS- USA Dr. M. David Howard.

The company’s product portfolio comprises leading-edge solutions such as Digivibe, DigivibeMX, Phantom, DragonVision, and WiSER along with balancing and alignment machines, which help organizations in keeping track of their equipment health.

ERBESSD INSTRUMENTS’ unique wireless vibration monitoring system- Phantom, utilizes the latest wireless technology called BLE 5.0, otherwise known as the Bluetooth low energy 5.0. Powered by a 3.7V, 800mAh battery, Phantom’s sensors stay charged and have the capacity to function up to a period of four years, which is much longer than the other products out in the market. Phantom incurs less expenditure and consumes less energy while transmitting data wirelessly over long distances.

Phantom integrates parameters such as vibration, temperature, pressure, speed, and amperage and functions as a single diagnosis system that measures these process variables to identify any changes in the behavior of the machine. Using the variables, Phantom builds a profile of the machine to analyze its functionality. By applying artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to the profile, Phantom monitors and detects abnormalities in the machine, and notifies the user for immediate action.

Another revolutionary solution, DigivibeMX, is replacing vibration analyzers across the world with its easy connectivity and faster data collection. As a portable analysis product, DigivibeMX integrates advanced functions for vibration analysis and dynamic balancing with triaxial wireless technology, making it a versatile and distinctive solution amongst its competitors. Digivibe’s compatible products are available in three different versions- the Digivibe M10 for balancing functions, the Digivibe M20 for vibration analysis and the Digivibe M30 for a combination of balancing and vibration analysis. ERBESSD INSTRUMENTS’ vibration analysis software- Digivibe, is the foundation on which Phantom, Digivibe MX, and WiSER have been built.

The triaxial wireless accelerometer – WiSER, makes Digivibe wireless and eliminates the usage of heavy cables that are expensive and difficult to install. ERBESSD INSTRUMENTS’ vibration analysis app- WiSER Vibe, can be installed on smartphones or tablet devices and used for measuring multiple parameters in a single recording and making FFT analysis on four simultaneous channels.

DragonVision joined ERBESSD INSTRUMENTS’ range of solutions as a distinctive software that integrates seamlessly with smartphone cameras to track the smallest variations of a machine in a recording. As a video deflection technology, DragonVision uses a number of complex algorithms and compares a machine’s structural vibration from frame-to-frame to track the minute changes within video recordings.

Our portfolio of solutions includes software for analyzing, monitoring, balancing, automation and alignment

Using the DragonVision software in their devices, users can record a machine’s activity in slow motion. The data from the video is displayed in the form of analytical data such as a waveform, and spectrum, which amplifies the amount of movement experienced by the machine.

The entire suite of products is enterprise ready with cloud analytics, SQL server compatibility, and mobile integration. The recordings and all the data that is being processed by the phantom ecosystems sensors is pushed into ERBESSD INSTRUMENTS’ cloud-based service—EI Analytic. This service learns, tracks, and reports machine health and behavior. “At any moment, users can monitor their machinery and access the related information from EI Analytic through their PC or mobile device” explains Dr. Thierry Erbessd, Chief Scientist, President and Founder of ERBESSD INSTRUMENTS. On deploying Digivibe, Phantom, WiSER, and DragonVision together, manufacturers can derive immense benefits while effectively saving time, which can be used to focus on managing their business.

One of the highlights of ERBESSD INSTRUMENTS’ is their ability to provide users with APIs, developer kits, and an open and unencrypted SQL database according to their requirements. ERBESSD INSTRUMENTS performs their various functions on an SQL database, which is open and accessible for customer queries at any time.

ERBESSD INSTRUMENTS is a global company with two ISO-9001 manufacturing and R&D facilities in Mexico, the operations facility in New York and newly opened offices in Canada and Europe which insures customer satisfaction is kept at the forefront according to Dr’s Erbessd & Howard. Devoted to delivering the best solutions to their customers, Howard cites a case where a major tissue manufacturer approached ERBESSD INSTRUMENTS for assistance in monitoring their paper converting machines and its temperature, alongside measuring its vibration and amperage, as they wanted to calculate the company’s energy savings based on precision maintenance. Not only did ERBESSD INSTRUMENTS successfully provide them with solutions that made sure the machines operated with minimum vibration and diagnostics, but they were also able to save a considerable amount of money from an energy perspective.

ERBESSD INSTRUMENTS’ next line of focus lies in developing solutions related to IoT and IIoT, which can be implemented in the Industry 4.0 space. Upcoming plans for the year include enhancing their existing solutions and integrating them with cognitive technologies like machine learning.
