Managers of a food manufacturing plant in Mexico wanted to be proactive in preventing unplanned downtimes. The MOPT customer wanted to monitor inaccessible mounted bearings located inside coolers and conveyors.
The customer inquired about the ABB Ability Smart Sensor. The sensor is used to remotely monitor the health of products through vibration and temperature. This keeps employees safe because they can monitor products away from danger zones, or away from areas that aren’t accessible. The customer spent thousands of dollars for several sensors and a gateway. Now, the application will be replicated at other plants the customer owns.
