When a 400 kW air compressor in a busy plant develops an early-stage bearing fault, traditional monitoring might miss it—until failure halts production. But edge AI can detect subtle vibration signatures weeks in advance, automatically triggering maintenance alerts. This is the power of intelligent sensor fusion in modern industrial automation.
Sensors now form the foundation of smart factories, acting as eyes, ears, and hands—gathering real-time data that drives analytics and AI, enabling faster decisions and adaptive responses.
With unplanned downtime making up 24% of production costs, rising global competition, labor shortages, and growing demands from robotics, manufacturers must move beyond rigid production models. The future lies in smart factories where robots collaborate with human teams, learn from their environment, and adapt on the fly.
This ebook explores how advanced sensor fusion is enabling that shift. Learn how modern MEMS accelerometers rival traditional sensors while powering long-lasting wireless monitoring, how edge AI reduces power consumption by 80%, and how innovative position sensors eliminate re-homing after outages.
Featuring real-world solutions from Analog Devices, Inc. and accessible through Mouser Electronics, this ebook delivers the insights you need to design agile, autonomous manufacturing systems built for today’s challenges—and tomorrow’s.
