Unplanned downtime of lifting systems, for example lifts and escalators, airport jetways, goods elevators, and tower cranes, is very costly. While wear and tear are the most common causes of failure in lifting systems, you need a proactive inspection program to reduce the risks.
How can you ensure the continuity of all components in lifting systems, including motors, brakes, electronic controllers, communication systems and doors? Traditional maintenance of lifting systems consists of mostly routine and repetitive tasks. How could these tasks be made smarter?
Are you considering moving from traditional to smarter maintenance?
Smart maintenance is a combination of actions to reduce manual checks, using automatic analysis of the key factors for preventive maintenance. By collecting, monitoring and analyzing live data, OMRON provides solutions that will allow you to use this data for decision making. With smarter maintenance solutions you can:
- Assure short downtime for maintenance
- Receive a preventive notification to plan maintenance tasks based on actual needs
- Become less dependent on staff availability and mobility, and lower commissioning and maintenance costs
- No worries about access constraints and safe conditions for the operator
Take the 4 steps towards smarter maintenance with OMRON:
Our solutions fit in various lifting applications, including:
- Lifts, escalators and walkways
- Airport jetways
- Good lifts
- Tower cranes
We offer a complete range of products for smarter maintenance solutions:
Get full equipment data visibility and remote access with a controller that can collect data produced by sensors and actuators.
Monitor key assets of the machine (motor current/vibration/temperature/insulation resistance), detect abnormal working conditions and share information and trends via EtherNet/IP.
Detecting foreign debris caught in conveyor chain with the K6CM
The smarter way to protect your system and increase safety, thanks to redundancy with the inverter protection functions. Monitor for incorrect phase sequence and phase loss. No heat generation due to nearby inverters installation
Visualize and control the condition of power supplies and load check centrally. Visualize the time to replace power supplies.
Be proactive against potential failures and predict drive failures with ageing models for critical components (fan, IGBT, …). Designed for 10 years of maintenance-free use.
K6CM Portable Demo Kit include S8VK-X
