Your maintenance needs
current condition data.
Machine data can complement maintenance decisions and give indications of changes in operation.
Maintenance intervals are set, but the actual load and the condition of the plant often stay only partly visible. Information sits in controllers, lists and separate diagnostic tools. For forward planning, this data has to be reachable and correctly assigned. The maintenance team needs traceable indications and suitable comparison values before a maintenance task or a targeted analysis can be derived from them.
IQstruct Engineering acquires agreed data, for example via OPC UA, and provides it via Aurora for further processing. Which values are needed is agreed with the customer and the downstream system. The focus lies on data acquisition and integration.
Start now at no cost
In a free first conversation we clarify which components fail, which sensors are needed for that and whether enough operating data exists.
Scope of services
Supply maintenance systems
Aurora passes the data on to the agreed endpoints.
Add extensions in a targeted way
AI-based pattern or forecasting methods can be examined as a separate analysis scope.
Machine data for maintenance
IQstruct Engineering acquires the agreed data, for example via OPC UA, and provides them via Aurora for further processing.
We derive which values are needed together with you from the downstream maintenance system. Its target interface is defined in the project.
IQstruct Engineering provides the technical connection. Assessing and carrying out maintenance measures remain with the responsible team and in the existing application. We examine additional AI analyses separately if the available data and the question are suitable.
Data supply
Condition data reach maintenance directly
Values from the controller are directly available to the maintenance system, without manual transfer.
Approach in the project
Ai1
Agree the maintenance plan
Maintenance dates and planned downtimes are agreed per machine.
Ai2
Monitor machine states
A dashboard shows states and maintenance notices of the same machines.
Ai3
Carry out maintenance
Your maintenance team works on the machine on the basis of the condition data.
Ai4
Operate the maintained plant
The plant runs in production again, and its data keep flowing.
Machine data with our own middleware
OPC UA is the typical machine interface; the target interface depends on the maintenance system.
The maintenance logic lies in the connected system.
Project experience
Energy data monitoring at a brick works
Looking at energy and production together at a backing brick works.
IQstruct Engineering has delivered energy data monitoring for a backing brick works. The solution brings together values from transformer stations, the photovoltaic system and the combined heat and power plant with production data. Consumption can therefore be viewed in relation to the batches produced. Meter trends are available individually, aggregated and historically. The example shows why a single meter reading does not yet provide a reliable statement about the energy demand of a production step.
Frequently asked questions
We are glad to answer your detailed questions in a personal conversation.
Does IQstruct Engineering also carry out the actual maintenance?
Maintenance and the management of its processes remain with the customer or a specialist provider. IQstruct Engineering supplies the data for it.
Which fault patterns does the system recognise?
Which states or fault patterns are recognised is determined by the logic of the connected maintenance system.
Do you offer predictive maintenance?
We examine AI-based forecasting methods as a separate analysis scope if the available data and the question fit.
