Watteco BoB ASSISTANT®

Description

Watteco BoB ASSISTANT®: your personal assistant. Artificial intelligence at the service of predictive maintenance.

BoB ASSISTANT analyzes the vibration signature of an industrial piece of equipment, ensuring its remote monitoring.

The data is transmitted via a public or private LoRaWAN® radio frequency network.

BoB ASSISTANT® measures the vibration signature of a piece of machinery (such as a pump or ventilation system) every 5 minutes (configurable) between 0 and 400Hz ( 3Hz) and 0 and 12.4kHz ( 100Hz).

In the event of vibration drift, the sensor notifies after a 7-day machine learning period, allowing maintenance crews to take action before a breaking or failure.

Description

BoB ASSISTANT® monitors the vibration signature of a piece of equipment (pump, ventilation, etc.) in the 0 to 400Hz (± 6Hz) and 0 to 12.4kHz (± 200Hz) ranges every 5 minutes (adjustable).

After an automatic learning period of 7 days, the sensor alerts in case of vibration drift, allowing maintenance teams to intervene before a breakage or failure. Data transmission over the public or private LoRaWAN® network is done periodically or immediately in case of alert:

Exceeding the vibration drift threshold (adjustable)
Machine on/off (adjustable)

Installation and commissioning are quick and easy.

The sensor is equipped with:

A button for activation and deactivation,
An RGB LED to monitor configuration and pairing to the network,
2 magnets to facilitate the installation of the sensor on the equipment (also possible by gluing, riveting, screwing…).

Each sensor is identified by a QR code on the label.

The data pre-processed by the on-board artificial intelligence is gathered in a report transmitted over the LoRaWAN® network every 180 minutes.

The sensor periodically reports the machine’s operating time over the last 180 minutes, the rate of vibration drift recorded over this period, the battery level, the temperature, and a predictive failure probability.

Machine status alerts (Start/Stop) are also available (can be inhibited by Downlink control).

Powered by a 3.6V/2000mAh battery, the autonomy of the sensor is more than 2 years with a configuration of 8 transmissions per day.
