Machines need sensors and transmitters to operate reliably and consistently. All it takes is a small drop in air pressure or a slight jam to cause a machine to crash; these sorts of problems can often ...

With the forward drive into Industry 4.0, getting equipment to integrate on a broader level—through warnings prior to a safety problem—is increasingly important. Some of the greatest safety concerns ...

Soft sensors, also known as virtual sensors, are software that can process hundreds of measurements in combination. Plant managers who want to add soft sensors may be overwhelmed by the scope of ...

The combination provides an entry point to a preventive maintenance program and requires no specialized training or expertise. It provides a real-time indication of machine health, plus the ...

Researchers from ETH Zürich have announced that they have leveraged machine learning to develop a low-cost tactile sensor. The sensor can measure force distribution in high resolution and with high ...
