Svendborg Brakes – IIoT driven predictive maintenance.

Bucket wheel excavators need robust and reliable braking systems to withstand the harsh operating and environmental conditions they are exposed to. The right solution helps them handle power cuts while protecting the BWE’s components from shock loads.

Svendborg Brakes has reported that their latest IIOT solution, offering an innovative braking control setup that features Cloud computing and data analytics, minimizes downtime and reduces the costs associated with scheduled and emergency maintenance.

The new HPs collect sensor data on a variety of parameters such as system pressure, brake pad wear, position of the brake and its piston, brake fluid levels and temperature, and send them to the Cloud. There, advanced AI-driven data analytics are used to extract meaningful information on the status of the brakes and their components as well as to provide crucial predictions on expected equipment failure.

The results are accessible remotely, from anywhere, via Svendborg Brakes’ conditioning monitoring platform. As a result, operators have a clear and comprehensive real-time overview which allows them to identify anomalies as well as finding the sweet spot to conduct scheduled maintenance activities.
