SUMMARY:Smart spares for on-line CC strand guide overload monitoring
DESCRIPTION:Predictive Maintenance starts with IIoT. Excellent and reliable sensorics are the first  hardware basement for lifetime and failure prediction for production machinery and plants. Therefore Primetals Technologies started technology development programs in data mining as well as condition monitoring and smart sensoric, even though the first approach has always been to perform condition monitoring without additional sensor implementation, where possible. A major source of unplanned downtimes of continuous slab casting plants are stuck bearings in the strand guide area. Hence Primetals Technologies has been realizing a prototype development creating a new middle bearing block with embedded sensors and an onboard tiny central processing unit, able to wirelessly transfer all interesting load data and performance indicators to the operators of the plant and to the maintenance personnel. The plant manager gets an overview about the overload events shift-by-shift or daily, weekly, and monthly, respectively. This paper provides a great insight into the first industrial prototype results.
