Digital condition monitoring system for overhead conveyors

A condition monitoring system based on HARTING’s MICA Edge computer system is being used for the early detection of wear in the overhead conveyor systems used in production lines in the automotive and other industries. The failure of individual support frames in these conveyors can lead to the stoppage of entire production lines, but the MICA-based system detects wear at an early stage and thus prevents unplanned downtime.

Retrofitting production line machinery extends lifetime

The best way to ensure production lines and their associated constituent part machinery operate more effectively and economically, is through central machine monitoring and process optimisation. Many machines in well-established production lines, which can be up to 30 years old, can still perform their main functional tasks successfully; however they do so much less efficiently than their modern day counterparts.
