Nonetheless, BCDS also contributes in terms of “NEXT.” By applying the XDK or CISS to the factory, the plant operators will be informed in advance if maintenance of the machines is necessary. Here, the device measures the vibrations in a machine via the internal acceleration sensor. Each machine has completely common vibrations that occur during operation. The operators and manufacturers of the machine are familiar with this vibration profile. But if the machine's vibration profile changes, this may be due to a small bearing damage or something similar. If such defects are identified at an early stage, a machine breakdown can often be prevented. At the next regular maintenance of the machine, the required spare part is ready and can be replaced. This process prevents major breakdowns and production losses, and accordingly saves a lot of money.
