What types of machines is Auk's technology compatible with?
Can Auk's system operate effectively in varying environmental conditions?
What kind of data can be collected and analyzed using Auk's technology?
Auk’s technology functions much like a ‘Fitbit for machines,’ focusing on three primary categories of data:
-
Output:
This mirrors the concept of counting a person’s steps but applies it to machines by tracking the quantity of cycles or products produced within a specific timeframe. -
Health:
Similar to monitoring a person’s heart rate, this involves tracking a machine’s operating parameters, such as pressure, rpm, temperature, vibration, and current. These parameters are invaluable for quality control and machine health monitoring. -
Sleep Cycle:
This category includes metrics like uptime, downtime, idle time, and changeover time. It provides insights into the machine’s operational patterns and efficiency.
