SKF and FANUC demonstrate IoT platform technology solution for machine tool industry

At this EMO Hannover Fair 2019 edition SKF share our cooperation integrating FANUCs Industrial IoT Platform FIELD system and SKFs IMX condition monitoring technology for machine tool industry. With this basis end-users will be able to predict spindle health using vibration, temperature, speed and process data. The results are integrated into the end-users existing FIELD system dashboards for a straight forward user experience.
Konrad Grohs Head of European Sales Coordination and Peter Dahlstrand SKF Machine Tools Business Development explain more about the platform, and the benefits of the integration in the FIELD system.

Parameters and thresholds per machine are set and adjusted based on real, historical data, not just theoretical standards. Benchmarking real-time bearing performance, across several connected machines in the same factory setting, gives additional insights. Through SKFs engineering expertise and knowledge of spindles, lubrication systems and sealing solutions, this can lead to improved spindle performance, increased uptime and optimized inventory management.

SKF has been a leading global technology provider since 1907, and our mission is to be the undisputed leader in the bearing business. We offer solutions around the rotating shaft, including bearings, seals, lubrication, condition monitoring and maintenance services. Today we are around 44,000 professionals working in 40 different industry segments in 130 countries. For more than 100 years we have helped shape the modern world as we know it today. We were there for the first moon landing, in the cameras used to take pictures from the surface. The bells in St Peters Square also ring because of us. Today, we are working closely with leading innovators. Wherever the world moves in factories, on the road or towards the future you will find us there. Read more on https://www.skf.com
