Extranet Systems Inc.
● With "correlation extraction method" as the core technology, we upgraded defect detection in the production line. Furthermore, by applying "causal analysis", we improved estimation accuracy of defects or abnormal factors, and started supporting creation of a mechanism that integrates operation and maintenance. Lubrication failure and misalignment of rotating machine are monitored by vibration data at existing plant., and "proactive maintenance (cause removal type)" is carried out easily.
■ We received the TPM Excellence Product Award (Development Award) from the Japan Institute of Plant Maintenance in 2014 !
■ Received Chairman's Award of the Japan Society for the Advancement of Inventions at the 45th Invention Award in 2019 (March 6, 2020)
● Main results of this service Total number of units as of the end of December 2023: 1470 units
●Developed and started sales of automatic estimation app for deterioration factors of rotating machine (from November 2023)
● Completed verification of fuel conversion plant monitoring function (detects signs of abnormality earlier than operators)
■“Condition monitoring technology based on correlation extraction method”; Peer-reviewed and published in the February 2024 issue of the Journal of the Japan Society of Facility Management
●Selected as a NEDO Challenge Candidate for Manufacturing DX Prize
●Selected as a Member of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism’s Infrastructure Facility Management AI Council
We received the TPM Excellence Award from the Japan Institute of Plant Maintenance for our original degradation diagnosis service.
Smart monitoring device developed by licensed company.
Application example of automatic search type correlation extraction method-Tracking bearing deterioration.
Results of Cost Reduction through Bearing Life Extension
Strengthening condition monitoring of equipment is a reliable method to improve environmental efficiency.
Major feature and effectiveness is to realize proactive maintenance using the vibration data by the degradation diagnosis service based on "correlation extraction method".
On the basis of the state-based maintenance,proactive maintenance comprises two elements, cause eleminating maintenance and predictive maintenance. Especially, by monitoring insufficient lubrication and axis misalignment, it becomes possible to early detect deteriorationof bearing parts,etc. and to take measures/repair at an appropriate time, which is to realize "Life extension of a machine with no trouble" so as to complete its original designed life. Furthermore, we can constructa causal model for an extracted factor group and estimate the cause of occurrence probability in combination with Bayesian inference.
