Description
Intelligent sensors to optimize manufacturing
The Smart Automation and Monitoring System (SAMS) includes smart sensors and devices that can be individually programmed, configured and thus universally installed on all machines. Within a series, you only need one sensor in stock, which you can use without limitations for your machines, plants and production lines as soon as a sensor needs to be replaced or newly attached. The new possibilities offered by the SAMS include the fact that smart sensors are the same in both configuration and analysis, regardless of the application scenario and measurement parameters, making implementation and user guidance easier and more intuitive.
Balluff's condition monitoring expertise is the basis of SAMS
The intelligent Smart Automation and Monitoring System is based on our experience and expertise with condition monitoring. Based on condition messages, faults can be quickly detected and localized. With our smart sensor technology, this information is available to you with colored LEDs displayed directly on the device or on dashboards, as well as, for example, logical linking of signals. This new information opens up new possibilities for you to visualize it as graphics or output it as reports.
You will then have an overview of the entire production and can define and track a predictive maintenance strategy in the company. This allows you to plan replacement or maintenance at an early stage and then carry it out at the ideal time.
Advantages at a glance
- Increase in OEE (Overall Equipment Efficiency) and its associated cost savings
- Reduction of both planned and unplanned plant downtime
- Reduced stock-keeping, due to universally applicable sensors, identical configuration and evaluation
- Uniform operating and diagnostic design concept
- Possibility of individual configuration of sensors
- Machine and plant health (State of Health) always in view
- More available data and possibilities: Condition-oriented or predictive maintenance through additional information
