Reducing risk with abnormal panel temperature detection

As electronics manufacturers' factory floors become more advanced and control panel devices integrate further, the shrinking maintenance workforce poses challenges. With fewer inspections and limited knowledge transfer, anomaly detection and the risk of fire incidents increase.

Challenge

Maintenance limitations

Avoiding abnormal temperatures in electronics manufacturing control panels is crucial for equipment protection, product quality, safety and energy efficiency. Excessive heat can damage components, compromise product reliability, pose fire hazards and increase energy consumption.

  • Shrinking workforce
  • Fewer inspections
  • Risk of fires

Solution

Automatic measurement of panel temperatures

Omron's monitoring technology incorporates a unique predictive algorithm in sensors for early anomaly detection. Constant temperature monitoring enables the identification of anomalies, significantly reducing facility failure risk. Instead of manual patrols, fixed monitoring devices can remotely monitor temperature conditions, allowing for the automation of recurring thermal inspections. As a result, manufacturers will reduce unplanned downtime.

  • Use unique predictive algorithms
  • Automate thermal inspections
  • Reduce unplanned downtime/failures
