Accelerating Factory DX: Integration for Smart Maintenance

Accelerating Factory DX: Integration for Smart Maintenance

Seamless Integration with Existing Systems

Beyond Measurement to DX. "conanair" Connects with Your Existing Systems by Unlocking Raw Data

The goal of vibration monitoring is not just to measure values. conanair externally releases "raw vibration data" acquired by its patented technology without black-boxing it. It functions as an edge device that accelerates the digital transformation (DX) of the entire factory by seamlessly importing data into existing monitoring systems (SCADA, DCS, PI System, etc.) and your own custom tools.


Mechanism of Vibration Data Integration

conanair establishes an open data path flowing from on-site sensors to the base station PC, and then to other systems. It supports a wide range of integration methods, from other systems directly reading files to advanced network-based integrations.


Steps of Data Distribution
  • Automatic Data Collection: Automatically aggregates vibration data from each equipment to the base station PC via wireless Wi-Fi communication. Data is saved per measurement in ".cna" or ".csv" formats.
  • Expansion via Plugins: The dedicated software "conanair Trend" acts as a hub, converting data into formats and protocols suited for the intended application.
  • Diverse Output Protocols: Depending on the requirements of the integrated system, data transfer of N transactions per measurement is possible through multiple methods such as file output, Web API, and MQTT.
  • Flexibility in Application: It can be freely integrated with anything from your own simple trend monitoring tools (like Excel) to large-scale production management systems.

Benefits of System Integration that Accelerates Factory DX

By directly integrating wireless vibration sensors with existing maintenance systems, the on-site management structure evolves to the next level. You can minimize specialized system development while visualizing the "present" of the site in virtual spaces or upper-level systems.

  • Realization of Safe Remote Monitoring: Safely monitor signs of equipment abnormality in real-time from existing office screens without visiting the site.
  • Eliminating Dependency on Individuals: Digitize inspection work that previously relied on veteran experience and intuition, promoting company-wide data utilization and knowledge sharing.
  • Preventing Unexpected Shutdowns: Realize a predictive maintenance structure that prevents sudden equipment failures through objective and automatic system detection, regardless of individual maintenance skill levels.

Advanced Predictive Maintenance via AVEVA PI System Integration

The "AVEVA PI System" realizes the aforementioned benefits of system integration at the highest global standard. By integrating with this world-standard operational data management platform, conanair's vibration data evolves from isolated data points into comprehensive factory-wide insights.

  • Synergy with Process Data: Monitor raw vibration data alongside other process data like temperature, pressure, and flow rate on the same timeline within the PI System. This allows for immediate determination of whether an anomaly is due to "equipment degradation" or "changes in operating conditions."
  • Structuring via Asset Framework (AF): By linking vibration data to the PI System's strength, the hierarchical Asset Framework (AF), you can intuitively drill down and identify which equipment in which area of a large-scale plant has an anomaly.
  • Long-term Archiving and Advanced Trend Analysis: Lightweight raw data from patented technology is highly compatible with the PI System's efficient archiving capabilities, enabling ultra-early anomaly detection through multi-year long-term trend analysis.

Implementation Record: Usage Example at Mitsubishi Gas Chemical Company, Inc.

The integration of conanair with the AVEVA PI System has been realized at Mitsubishi Gas Chemical, a leading chemical manufacturer in Japan.
conanair's external integration capability proved effective against the need to centrally monitor detailed raw vibration data on their existing systems.
We constructed an environment where the "health status" of equipment can be grasped in real-time on a single platform. Currently, they are proceeding with operational expansion by adding more units.

To System Integrators (SIer)

conanair provides the optimal solution for incorporating high-precision vibration analysis functions into your own systems.

  • Open interfaces enable system integration with reduced development man-hours.
  • Contributes to improving the value of your services as a device capable of acquiring lightweight raw data at low cost.
  • We offer support for vendors, including API specifications and technical consultations.
