Traditional data acquisition systems and recorders provide a historical view of applications and processes. But what if these devices could use this historical data to predict future outcomes and issues, allowing users to take early corrective action? The latest enhancements to the SMARTDAC+ recorder series enable exactly that! Join us for a demonstration of our new AI predictive functionality and see why SMARTDAC+ is far more than your traditional recorder! In this webinar we will discuss: • Unveil AI Future Pen and Future Alarm capabilities • Demonstrate AI features on a SMARTDAC+ recorder • Dive into use cases for AI in recorders and how to reduce cost and waste

Environmental Monitoring – Humidity Prediction
 Before
 The temperature and humidity of the entire factory was manually measured,
recorded and managed by using thermo-hygrometer.
 The humidity was occasionally out of range in winter (20% ↓)
 After
 Auto-managing temperature & humidity by SMART 920.
 Maintaining the production site without stopping by predicting humidity utilizing AI
recorder.

Machine Failure Prediction for ID and FD Fan in Steel Manufacturer
 Before
 Dust on the fan can cause a significant imbalance and increase of vibration
 If vibration reach a certain amplitude, it can cause mechanical breakdown
 Need to acquire the vibration and temperature data of target device and use the data
for facility maintenance
 After
 Integrated monitoring system for all rotating equipment in the field
 Realize inspection and maintenance before failure happens by predicting vibration and
temperature
 Reduction of facility maintenance cost by prolonging equipment life time

Level monitoring for additive to synthetic fiber in spinning machine
Stable level
required
Tx
Additive (Oil)
Extruding
Injection nozzle
Fiber
Melted pellet
(main material)
Pump
LIC
Injection amount depends on
oil level (gravity)
Retransmission
 Before
 Fiber contains oil as additive, which is required a stable mixture ratio otherwise the final
product quality gets down
 The oil level sometimes faces irregularity from unpredictable reason
 For keeping good product quality, need to predict oil level anomaly
 After
 Install GX20 and use future pen alarm to predict unusual condition
 They can get a time for what they should do to keep production quality

Drainage Pit Monitoring
Level
 Before
 Incoming water amount is calculated but sometimes the water level increase
suddenly and it is difficult to control the level all the time
 After
 Monitoring level of waste water with GX future pen function
 Find water level fluctuation and identify the level increase in advance
 Notify the abnormality with future alarm to the operator

Freezer Temperature Monitoring
 Before
 Occasionally the door of the freezer was remained open and the temperature inside
freezer became out of range, products inside couldn’t be used anymore
 After
 Monitoring temperature inside freezer with future pen
 Find abnormalities of temperature changes (decrease) in advance
 Notify with alarm and prevent the product loss

Tunnel Furnace Monitoring
 Before
 The temperature of each zone in a tunnel furnace fluctuate suddenly and
the temperature goes out of range
 The products in process becomes defective without enough heat treating
 After
 Monitoring temperature of each zone with future pen
 Find abnormalities of temperature in zones before it actually goes out of
range and detect any sign of failure in the furnace

Warehouse Temperature Monitoring
 Before
 It was difficult to maintain the temperature uniformity of inside warehouse
depending on the arrangement and products
 Sometimes a trouble in air conditioning system happens and cannot keep the
temperature within the range
 After
 Predict temperature fluctuation of the warehouse in advance and notify with future
alarm
 Take action to control temperature within the range before it actually goes out of
range
