ABB: Motors signal when they need servicing

New technology from ABB transforms simple motors into intelligent machines that tell users when they need servicing; smart sensors attached directly to the motor supply information regarding operating and condition parameters via wireless transmission.

The smart sensor provides information on operating and condition parameters such as vibration, temperature or overload and calculates power consumption. The data are analyzed by a specially developed software program and provided to the plant operator in the form of graphics for maintenance planning, thereby enabling downtime reductions of up to 70%. At the same time, the lifetime of the motors can extended by up to 30 percent and energy consumption reduced by as much as 10%, so that the investment in this innovative form of condition monitoring pays for itself in less than a year.
