Maintenance & Efficiency
Uptime, predictive maintenance and energy optimization.
The cheapest automation is the one that keeps running. This hub focuses on preventive and predictive maintenance, energy efficiency, spare-parts strategy and the data plumbing that makes proactive operations possible.
Expect articles on vibration monitoring, IoT sensing, OEE measurement, drive-level energy recovery and the maintenance contracts that actually deliver SLA uptime in European facilities.

About maintenance & efficiency
What is predictive maintenance?+
Using sensor data (vibration, temperature, current draw) and ML models to predict failures before they happen. Properly deployed it cuts unplanned downtime 30–50% versus a calendar-based preventive plan.
How do I reduce conveyor energy consumption?+
Switch to 24V MDR with zero-pressure accumulation (motors stop when no load), recover braking energy on shared DC buses, and switch off idle zones. Typical saving: 30–50% versus always-on 400V conveyors.
What uptime should I expect from an automated warehouse?+
Design target: 98–99.5% availability during operating hours. Anything below 97% indicates undersized redundancy, weak maintenance, or insufficient WCS error handling.
