Predictive
Maintenance Solution
• Sylvain Pillons

6
• Definition:
• Predictive maintenance is a technique that helps in determining and analyzing the condition of any
equipment in order to efficiently estimate the timeframe for the performance of maintenance.
• ROI evidence: helps in saving time as well as maintenance cost and predicting equipment failure.
• Predictive Maintenance & the lockdown: an IoT opportunity
• Maintenance companies are witnessing a slowdown due to the global lockdown: they are not able
to travel to client facilities to perform asset health analysis, service providers cannot offer their
services.
• Many manufacturers who rely on these services to maintain the health of process critical assets are
helpless and thus face a high risk of costly downtime during these unprecedented times.
• Market size estimated:
• Markets Insight Reports (03/21): USD 12.3 billion by 2025, at an annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25.2%
• Markets&Markets (07/20): USD 19.3 billion by 2027, with a healthy growth rate of more than 25.2 %
• Latest Predictive Maintenance developments:
• The combination of IoT & machine learning.
The Predictive Maintenance Market

7
• Turnkey solution that:
• Analyses, and processes data based on sensor embedding artificial intelligence.
• Is measuring machines and equipment vibrations frequencies.
• Enables detecting any anomalous equipment behavior and thereby predicting the possible
failure based on data insights.
• A complete edge analyzing solution:
• The device micro controller (MCU) embeds an analyses algorithm which avoids additional cloud-
based analytics, expensive and complicated processing.
• Real time on the device analysis vs analyze on the cloud.
• Solution Features and Entablements:
• A retrofitting type of sensor, ideal for legacy machines.
• Higher Asset Availability
• Improved Work-force Productivity
• Optimized Energy Consumption
• Lower operational costs
What The Predictive Maintenance Solution Is?
Intelligent Edge - implement the intelligence within the sensor and avoid
sending the data in the cloud.

nke WATTECO – BoB Assistant qualities
Simple
BoB is simple to install, just place it on your machine: no wiring or
configuration required.
Watch
BoB is intimately linked to the equipment to be observed, it only captures
vital data that reveal its state of health.
Intelligent
It applies its analysis algorithms to transform this data into accurate information
to keep your equipment running.
Alarm
In the event of a drift or unexpected problem, it alerts you, allowing you to take
action and reduce downtime.

13
nke WATTECO – BoB Assistant qualities
Connected
BoB communicates using the standard LoRaWAN® protocol: perfectly
suited for IoT, long-distance communication and very low power
consumption.
Autonomous
BOB works for several months without recharging (battery included)
Secure by design
Because you don't want your production data to circulate anywhere in the
cloud, BoB stores this data and sends only encrypted reports, the results of
its analysis.
Industrial
BoB is rugged (IP68) and designed for industrial use cases

24
SIG Use case
In the basin of the water treatment plant, a BoB Assistant was
installed to monitor one of the two submerged stirrer motors.
The fault threshold was detected by BoB on engine 1 while
engine 2, (30 meters away and not supervised by a Bob)
failed.

25
SIG Use case
In the supply system of the water treatment plant, a Bob Assistant has been installed on a bracket,
which is attached to the pump (in an AtEx area).
Just before midnight, the alert level was exceeded (see graph).
The next morning, the factory's technical team noticed that the pump was clogged and overheated
at around 8am. The temperature sensor fitted on the pump did not raise the alarm until around
4am,
After the team's intervention, the level of anomalies returned to normal.

26
SIG Use case
Management of unclogging works: having a vibration feedback enables these problems to be
anticipated and unblocked before too much compaction occurs.
With data you can organize maintenance without blocking production process.
