Enhancing devices with re-use & predictive maintenance capabilities

The Demonstrator shows how devices can be enhanced with capabilities for re-use & predictive maintenance. The functionalities are: * Fast error detection and fault analysis * Fast ramp-up of welding applications * Production monitoring * Multi-vendor sensor integration The Demonstrator shows the following benefits: * On-board electronic handbooks vs. paper manuals * Reduction of ramp-up: Hours vs. minutes * Preventive maintenance vs. fixed maintenance schedules * Dynamic sensor integration with standard interfaces This is done be the following use-cases: #1 Semi-automated parameter finding and optimization for welding job #2 On-board information system for fast error finding #3 Smart wireless self-organizing sensors for maintenance support #4 Preventive maintenance in MES
