How to identify machine faults at an early stage

Machine faults often go unnoticed for a long time — until it is too late. Engines, transmissions and bearings are particularly affected. Typical damage can be identified early on in operating and sensor data — if you know which parameters are decisive during monitoring.

This makes error monitoring by aiomatic precise & efficient

Flexibly adjustable monitoring sensitivity
Depending on how you set the threshold and tolerance time for anomalies, critical patterns can be identified up to 4 weeks in advance.
Consideration of product recipe & context
When monitoring, our software takes actual operating conditions, such as product recipes, into account.
Based on real operation rather than predefined limits
Our software learns from the normal operating state of your machines instead of from labelled data and fixed standards.
Individually configurable notifications
You will receive automated notifications as soon as one of your machines behaves significantly unexpectedly.

All KPIs & anomalies on one dashboard

Anomaly summary & detailed root cause analysis
Digital shopfloor with all machine positions & KPIs
Flexible sensor groupings for targeted analysis
Digital logbook for machine events
aiomatic dashboard for predictive maintenance

Monitoring of conveyor belts

Initial situation:
  • Conveyor belts depend on drive, transmission and clutch.
  • Failure makes the entire conveyor belt unusable.
  • Repairing needs to be done quickly to minimize downtime.
  • Currently often used until total failure.
  • Goal: smart maintenance.
Automatic monitoring through our software
  • First step: retrofitting sensors to conveyor belts with a length of more than 800 meters
  • AI learns various operating states & detects deviations
  • Major fault was detected at an early stage & failure could be prevented
  • Improved overview of extensive systems — fewer manual inspections required.

"The future of maintenance is difficult when it comes to skilled labor. With the AI-based solution from aiomatic, however, this looks much brighter. The team can now focus on other activities, while monitoring and early warning alerts are provided by aiomatic."
Andreas Weber
Technical maintenance manager
“aiomatic is pioneering. For example, the application of AI to real-time data has already predicted imminent warehouse damage for one of our systems. As a result, we were able to act early and avoid an unplanned downtime of more than 8 hours. ”
Dirk Schlamann
