abstract
- Given the industrial environment, the production efficiency is the ultimate goal to achieve a high standard. Any deviation from the standard can be costly, e.g., a malfunction of a machine in an assembly line tends to have a major setback in the overall factory efficiency. The data value brought by the advent of Industry 4.0 re-shaped the way that processes and machines are managed, being possible to analyse the collected data in real-time to identify and prevent machine malfunctions. In this work, a monitoring and prediction system was developed on a cold stamping machine focusing on its electrical and operational parameters, based on the Digital Twin approach. The proposed system ranges from data collection to visualization, condition monitoring and prediction. The collected data is visualized via dashboards created to provide insights of the machine status, alongside with visual alerts related to the early detection of trends and outliers in the machine’s operation. The analysis of the current intensity is carried out aiming to predict failures and warn the maintenance team about possible future disturbances in the machine condition.
