SK C&C Launches Real-Time Equipment Anomaly Detection Service Using Vibration Only

Real-Time Monitoring Using LTE Wireless Network and Cloud Integration

[Asia Economy Reporter Jin-gyu Lee] SK C&C announced on the 20th that it will launch a 'Manufacturing Equipment Abnormal Vibration Detection and Analysis Service' that analyzes and diagnoses vibration data generated from all manufacturing equipment in real time.

The vibration detection service senses vibrations generated from rotating equipment in manufacturing plants using sensors, transmits the data to the cloud via LTE wireless networks, and provides a real-time predictive maintenance system that analyzes and diagnoses abnormal signs in real time and guides corrective actions.

SK C&C's manufacturing equipment management system and platform, along with cloud technology capabilities, have been combined with the machine condition monitoring and diagnostic solutions of Bentley Nevada, a global leader in equipment monitoring.

Previously, equipment monitoring systems measured and analyzed vibrations through wired connections, but SK C&C's vibration detection service enables real-time monitoring by utilizing LTE wireless networks and the cloud. It is also suitable for semiconductor, electronic display, plant, heavy industry, and production manufacturing factories where production loss costs are high in case of equipment failure. By using SK C&C's vibration detection service, real-time equipment vibration analysis can be performed in any factory with simple sensor and device installation.

Devices equipped with data collectors, wireless communication modules, and explosion-proof functions, along with sensors, are installed on the relevant equipment. When vibration information from the equipment is sent, the platform compares it with appropriate vibration data and informs in real time whether there is an abnormality in the equipment. Production plants that have piloted the vibration detection service have achieved results such as reducing the response time for unexpected equipment stoppages and the period for regular equipment inspection and maintenance by more than half compared to before.

Since the vibration detection service operates on a cloud-based system, the introduction cost can be reduced by more than half compared to building similar existing systems. Yoo Hae-jin, head of SK C&C's Manufacturing Digital Division, said, "In the future, by expanding the scope of data analysis to include temperature, pressure, and other factors, we will enhance the predictive maintenance level of the domestic manufacturing industry."
