Live sharing on Predictive Maintenance with AIoT During the live sharing on the Predictive Maintenance with AI and Industrial IoT, Tan Kien Leong has started with the brief introduction of how the maintenance process was carried out in the past and what are the limitation with the process of maintenance being performed in the old days. One of the recently practiced  preventive maintenance is used to make a comparison to the newly introduced Prediction Maintenance. Preventive maintenance (PM) and predictive maintenance (PdM) are both proactive approaches to maintaining equipment and systems, but they differ in methodology, technology, and application. Here are the main differences between the two: Preventive maintenance (PM) and predictive maintenance (PdM) are both proactive approaches to maintaining equipment and systems, but they differ in methodology, technology, and application. Here are the main differences between the two: Definition: Preventive Maintenance (PM): Maintenance activities are performed at predetermined intervals or according to prescribed criteria, regardless of the actual condition of the equipment....

Smart Manufacturing OEE SCADA and Cloud Integration The 10th session of the "Let's Sembang AIoT" series commenced with a unique presentation by Mr. CC Lee. He discussed older processors with legacy, ranging from the 8088, 80286, 80386, 80486, and 80586 to the Pentium, all of which were prevalent from the early 1990s to the late 1990s. This era saw significant contributions from major players like Intel, AMD, and VIA.During this period, substantial efforts were dedicated to enhancing the capabilities of computers and industrial PCs for automation purposes, often referred to as IPC-based automation. Notably, two devices, namely PCI (Programmable Communication Interface) and PPI (Programmable Peripheral Interface), played a pivotal role in establishing input and output peripherals for computers. The PPI was also utilized in certain IO blocks on the ISA BUS, conforming to the PC104 standards. This concept catalyzed numerous automation processes implemented on both personal computers and industrial PCs. It's important to note that these advancements occurred within the context...

OEE is a measure of how effectively a manufacturing operation is utilized, considering both the machine availability and the quality of the products it produces.We shared the two main parts that allow you to build up an OEE system, namely the stack light module and the Axiomtek IIoT edge gateway. These two components are the machine data collectors that acquired all the necessary data to be used in the calculation of OEE. To calculate...

Welcome to the first episode of "Sembang AIoT," our live channel dedicated to discussing Industrial IoT and AI for smart manufacturing. Before we delve deeper into our subject, let's remind ourselves of the four foundational design principles of Industry 4.0, which guide the evolution and implementation of the Fourth Industrial Revolution: Interoperability: This principle emphasizes the need for machines, devices, sensors, and people to connect and communicate with each other. Interoperability allows for the seamless sharing of information across different systems and stakeholders. This can involve the Internet of Things (IoT), Internet of People (IoP), and other connected technologies. Information Transparency: With Industry 4.0, the collection and communication of information become much...

Use Cases: SCADA systems are traditionally used in industrial processes for controlling large-scale processes where data from multiple sensors is combined and analyzed in real time. Common applications include Kl no water treatment plants, power generation, and oil and gas refineries. On the other hand, IoT is a more general concept that can be applied...
