Onsite Lift | The importance of predictive maintenance
10/09/2024 – Onsite Lift
‘Prevention is better than cure’: the historical advertising claim by a well-known pharmaceutical company fits well with the needs of all companies that use operating machinery. Also because, as we all know, a malfunction of a single component, such as the lithium battery for example, for all vehicles of manufacturers that have chosen the path of electrification, can result in forced downtime and consequent, unforeseen economic losses.
It is no coincidence that the concept of predictive maintenance – i.e. a type of maintenance that makes use of tools and technologies to monitor the condition of equipment, through a database that collects information from the machinery to prevent breakdowns and unexpected ‘downtime’ – is now at the heart of the needs of every company in the sector.
Among the companies that first strongly believed in predictive maintenance is Flash Battery, the company based in Sant’Ilario di Enza (RE) specialised in the production of customised lithium batteries for machinery and industrial vehicles.
It was 2013, a year in which this term was still unknown to most, when the company founded by Marco Righi and Alan Pastorelli laid the foundations for the creation of the ‘Flash Data Center ’, the proprietary system for automatic and real time remote monitoring of all Flash Battery lithium batteries.
A software that has evolved over the years, thanks to artificial intelligence and ‘Machine Learning’ technologies that allow 24/7 monitoring and analysis of the data received on battery operation, allowing potential criticalities and anomalies to be nipped in the bud, thanks to predictive maintenance and FOTA (Firmware Over The Air) updates.
