Machine maker adds maintenance software.


Predictive maintenance Predictive maintenance (PdM) techniques help determine the condition of in-service equipment in order to predict when maintenance should be performed. This approach offers cost savings over routine or time-based preventive maintenance because tasks are performed only when  software that can monitor machine characteristics such as power consumption, vibration, temperature and oil cleanliness Cleanliness

Cleverness (See CUNNING.)

continually “washes” itself.
 in order to identify potential machine problems before failure occurs is new from Husky Injection Molding injection molding
n.
A manufacturing process for forming objects, as of plastic or metal, by heating the molding material to a fluid state and injecting it into a mold.
 Systems, Bolton, Ont. Its Predictive Maintenance (PdM) program allows the user to set thresholds for monitored parameters. Once a threshold is exceeded, the software delivers an instant message so that users can react quickly to minimize downtime The time during which a computer is not functioning due to hardware, operating system or application program failure. .

PdM uses Husky's PC-based Polaris control, its SmartLink web-based plant-monitoring software, and appropriate sensors to monitor components such as pumps, motors, and seals. Tel: (905) 951-5000 * PTDirect: 946LF
