The scope
What is measured
- Sector
- Printing
- Instrumented machine
- Four printing machines
- Measured quantities
- Vibration of the four machines
- Temperature
- Humidity
- CO₂
- Air quality
- Detected events
- Running hours per day, per machine
- Time within the reference humidity range
- Achieved result
Running hours of the four printing machines, estimated from vibration alone. What the measurement asked of the printing works’ IT network: 0 access requested. The unit reports over LTE-M, on its own SIM card.
The deployment
Control points
Equipment : Printing machines
What is measured : The Sybox, with no machine wiring.
What it showed : Each machine’s running hours, day by day, estimated from vibration alone.
Equipment : Workshop conditions
What is measured : The Sybox’s built-in sensors.
What it showed : Time within the reference humidity range is counted.
Actual machine utilisation used to be unknown: running hours are now read from vibration.
Reading still to come
This deployment has no published figures yet: running hours per machine, time outside the humidity range. The commissioning date and the observation period are missing too.
Those values exist on the customer’s side and must be approved by them before publication. This site publishes no gain figure without a source; the panel will stay as it is until then.
In operation
What it changed
- The machines can be comparedEach one’s actual utilisation is read with no manual entry.
- Workshop humidity is followed dailyA drift from the reference range shows the same day.
In this printing works, the actual utilisation of the four printing machines was unknown.
The installation needed no wiring into the machines and no access to the site IT network: the Sybox sends its readings over the cellular network.
