Four Dimensions of Smart Sensor Technology: Diagnostics
The dimension Diagnostics allow operators to look into the future, in order to detect process deviations in advance and prevent unplanned system downtimes.
Smart Sensors will even send a notification independently if safe operation is at risk. Thanks to predictive maintenance, flexible, needs-based maintenance schedules can be created, helping reduce service costs. If problems should arise, however, the cause can be easily determined thanks to comprehensive visualization options, avoiding unplanned system downtimes.
Diagnostics: added value for your application
Sensor self-monitoring during setup and operation
- Advance detection of disturbances prevents unplanned system downtimes
- Predictive remote maintenance enables accurate service schedules and saves money and time
- Time-consuming troubleshooting is no longer necessary, as the service message can be accurately localized
Monitoring of key process parameters
- Ensuring product quality through monitoring of production parameters
- Advance detection of disturbances prevents unplanned system downtimes
- Predictive remote maintenance enables accurate service schedules and saves time, money and stress
- Time-consuming troubleshooting is no longer necessary, as the service message can be accurately localized
Visualization of detection signals and parameters for detailed process and detection analysis
- More transparency in the production process for a better understanding of procedures
- Fast troubleshooting in case a fault occurs
- Visualization of process changes
Increased productivity and short downtimes thanks to extensive and innovative diagnostic options
- Fast on-site diagnostics thanks to the Sick Safety Assistance App
- Creation of a comprehensive PDF diagnostic report including error history, error type, error cause and error elimination
- The outputting of signal strength per beam enables the need for cleaning or realignment to be detected early
