A shaft breakage occurred in a reducer that monitored trends with a wireless vibration sensor (Sushi Sensor). The graph below shows acceleration, speed, and surface temperature data, and the results of AI analysis based on those data. The moving average of health index calculated by AI moved from the normal to abnormal range three weeks before a failure. It captured the “anomality” that were signs of abnormality earlier than the sensor data trend changes. By combining the Sushi Sensor with the AI, undesired states can be notified based on the equipment's vibration and surface temperature data, which enables users to predictively detect equipment abnormality and take prior actions for equipment maintenance.

Future Pen SMARTDAC+ GX/GP Series Paperless Recorders

AI is installed as standard while maintaining the reliability and functions of the SMARTDAC+ GX/GP Series Paperless Recorders. With no complicated settings, users easily register the channels that need to be monitored as future pens and draw the near future as waveforms.

The GX/GP series is a panel mount or portable paperless recorders that provide intuitive touch panel operations. Its highly flexible modular I/O architecture enables you to acquire, display, and record data such as temperature, voltage, current, flow, and pressure in various industrial production and development sites.

GX/GP AI functions

Future pen

Use acquired data to predict future data and draw predicted future waveforms along with real-time data on the trend monitor. The future waveforms allow users to identify and deal with likely problems.

Future alarm

Set future alarms against future measured data from the future pen. Future alarm information is shown in a future alarm summary. When a future alarm is generated, external output or email alert users.

AI Analysis Data Logging Software GA10 + Sushi Sensor

The need for maintenance grows as equipment ages. Equipment conditions are mainly ascertained by human workers through inspections such as operator rounds inspection. However, many industries face the problems of labor shortages and the retirement of skilled workers. Additionally, the measured results obtained through operator inspections are not quantified, and often cannot be utilized effectively. More efficient equipment maintenance mechanisms are urgently needed.

Highly Accurate AI Using Python for Harsh Environmental Industrial Applications

Reduce Development Time

Existing AI applications stay as-is while maintaining fewer tedious I/O settings.

Environmental Worthiness

The device used for development goes right into the harsh environment. Runs in environments where single-board computers couldn’t until now.

Plant Control with AI and Reinforcement Learning

Reinforcement learning is a machine learning type where AI learns from trial and error. Yokogawa's reinforcement learning technology is remarkably practical, gaining insights from minimal trials.
