The low voltage motor is the workhorse of many industries, used to drive a broad range of machines, including conveyors, mixers, pumps and fans. Monitoring the condition of each motor in a plant is a complex and costly challenge. That all changes with ABB’s new smart sensor. Now tracking the motor’s health and performance is as simple as opening a smartphone app.

One of the great technologies that ABB is showcasing at this year’s Hanover Fair is a new condition monitoring solution concept for low voltage induction motors. Based on wireless smart sensors that are easy to attach to motors, the solution will enable customers to monitor large numbers of LV motors – even their entire LV motor fleet.
