HID Global Helps Smart Facilities Achieve AI-Based Maintenance with Its Enhanced HID Condition Monitoring SolutionHID Global®, a worldwide leader in trusted identity solutions, today announced it has dramatically elevated the machine learning capabilities in its HID Condition Monitoring solution through high-bandwidth vibration sensors that help manufacturing facilities employ AI-based technology to monitor the health and performance of motors, rotating equipment, and other assets. The cost-effective solution makes it possible for plant managers to extend their predictive maintenance strategies to all factory assets that, until now, have typically been vulnerable to unexpected downtime and repairs. HID Condition Monitoring, enabled by Bluvision™, features the new high-performance BEEKs™ Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) beacons for on/off detection, duty cycles, temperature and vibration monitoring. Their enhanced measurement, edge computing and machine learning capabilities use high-speed vibration trend analytics and cloud-based AI to learn baseline pre-deployment behaviors to generate a model of normal activity. In addition to triggering real-time alerts immediately upon detecting a change in status, this data enables facilities to better establish proactive maintenance, inspection and operation strategies and drives more informed decision making. "Our low-cost condition monitoring solution offers real-time, continuous visibility into the operating behavior of machines that were previously unmonitored due to cost restrictions, making it possible for smart manufacturing plants to address downtime beyond critical and semi-critical equipment," said Brad Hopkins, Director of Condition Monitoring Product Management, HID Global. "Together with AI-driven cloud analytics, plant managers can now use historical trends and notifications to enhance their predictive maintenance approach throughout the entire factory or fleet, which helps reduce unplanned downtime across the board." HID Condition Monitoring for Smarter Operations
In addition to a range of manufacturing use cases, HID Condition Monitoring is ideal for cold chain supply management, where temperature-sensitive products (such as food, medicines and vaccines) can be monitored throughout production, storage and distribution. Major OEMs are also offering HID Condition Monitoring to smart manufacturing plants across a variety of industries around the world. About HID Condition Monitoring HID Condition Monitoring integrates low-powered sensors into a wireless communication platform with cloud analytics to offer the lowest cost, end-to-end solution for plant managers to monitor the health and performance of multiple fleet assets and continuously collect data on rotating machinery. It does not require wired infrastructure, servers or antennas, and information is easily collected and interpreted for easy integration into inspections, maintenance and operations practices. The new BLE beacons include a vibration sensor with 10-times the bandwidth, raw data streaming option at higher rate, and a higher maximum operating temperature of 185°F / 85°C.
