Transparent test field thanks to RENK Smart Monitoring
Extended database for maintenance and process management
The new RENK Smart Monitoring ensures even greater transparency in the testing process. The cloud-based analysis tool extends the RDDS test stand automation system and records all events that occur at the test rig, if desired for the entire test field or even across multiple locations. The data is then individually processed and made available and visualized in the cloud for further use.
An added value that is absolutely unique in this form in test rig applications.
Always one step ahead
RENK Smart Monitoring can make a decisive contribution to a maintenance strategy that prevents failures, optimizes the service life of equipment, and saves time and resources.
Reducing system downtime.
Continuous condition monitoring of the test rig makes it possible to detect operating irregularities in advance and to prevent plant failures by taking preventive measures. For example, a simple statistical evaluation on a roller test rig shows that slip monitoring has occurred more frequently in the last 7 days. The reason for this is a mechanical misalignment of the drive. With the help of RENK Smart Monitoring, maintenance staff can detect and rectify this fault before it causes increased wear or even the failure of the test stand.
Extended service life:
With customized maintenance planning and continuous performance monitoring, small faults can be eliminated before they become larger problems. The repair intervals can be precisely adapted to the real test rig load. RENK Smart Monitoring therefore not only enables a reduction in downtimes, but also a longer test rig service life in the long term.
Increase in cost efficiency:
The preventive maintenance measures often avoid costly reactive repair work. If unexpected problems do arise, the maintenance technician responsible can intervene immediately with the help of RENK Smart Monitoring – without delay and even from a home office. Thanks to optimized maintenance and reduced response times, RENK Smart Monitoring therefore leads to significant long-term cost savings in the testing process.
Visualization of the test process
The performance of end-of-line test rigs is an important indicator for the production process and thus for the company's expected turnover. RENK Smart Monitoring provides all the important key figures clearly and concisely on a dashboard. They can be viewed in real time anytime, anywhere – on a desktop in the office, at home or on the go on a smartphone.
Output:
The number of tests passed directly reflects the production output. Any disruptions in the production process can be detected and counteracted at an early stage. Renk Smart Monitoring thus provides a valuable indicator of production performance and the expected corporate revenue. The figures from multiple production sites can also be clearly displayed and summarized.
Manufacturing quality:
In the event of a negative test result, the detected faults are logged at the test stand. By providing a clear overview of the manufacturing quality, even over longer periods of time, RENK Smart Monitoring helps to classify faults and eliminate sources of error.
Test process:
The operating times of a test rig show its utilization. RENK Smart Monitoring enables simplified deployment planning of the test infrastructure by displaying important operating parameters. The logging of malfunctions and downtimes provides a representative overview of the reliability of the test rig and delivers important decision-making bases for possible replacement investments.
Simple and practical
A good tool must be easy to use and practical.
And that is exactly what RENK Smart Monitoring offers:
- Easy connection to the existing RDDS automation system on the test rig
- No additional third-party monitoring software is required
- RENK Smart Monitoring only uses the data collected with RDDS on the test rig; no additional data collection is required
- The dashboard can be flexibly adapted to user-specific requirements
Decades of experience in the development and operation of complex test systems can also be seen in RENK Smart Monitoring.
From users for users.
