Production machines for stable, controlled processes often operate 24/7. Any disruption can produce scrap or downtimes, affecting business profitability. Bridges, roads, and railways must withstand decades of high traffic, increasing loads, and all kinds of weather while ensuring safety for all users. Boats and trains require the best energetic efficiency and the lowest interruption by maintenance activities.
Whether it is to ensure stable manufacturing processes, high yield and the best product quality or the safety and long life of infrastructures, predictive maintenance has long been standard practice in both industry and the public sector. Monitoring the condition of assets by observing mechanical parameters over time to detect signs of wear or damage is key to this strategy. It enables owners and operators to predict service life, plan their maintenance activities in advance, optimise operating costs, and ensure safety.
From sensor technology for IIoT applications to durable devices for long-term or on-site monitoring, HBK has long provided effective monitoring solutions for many industries and for a wide range of moving and stationary assets.
