FAQ

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.
