Petrozavodsk State University intends to expand the use of its vibration diagnostics system to new industrial sectors. According to Alexey Shtykov, Head of the Department of Innovation and Production Activities at PetrSU, such plans already exist, as reported by TASS.
The system monitors engine vibrations to detect early signs of malfunctions. This analysis allows predicting possible breakdowns and replacing parts in a timely manner, preventing downtime and financial losses. The first tests of the technology took place at the Petrozavodskmash machine-building plant.
Thanks to testing at the plant, the system acquired its appearance and is now beginning to scale. Currently, we are implementing a project in the mining and industrial complex and plan to introduce it in other industries
Shtykov emphasized that in the context of sanctions, when the supply of components is delayed for months, accurate prediction of engine failures becomes critical. Downtime of crushing equipment in the mining industry can cost up to one million rubles daily. Thanks to the new PetrSU system, it was possible to completely eliminate sudden production stoppages last year. This system, unlike traditional scheduled preventive maintenance, is twice as economical because it relies on its own software and circuitry, and will soon use a Russian processor. Data from sensors can be transmitted to the cloud for automated predictive analytics.
