Rockwell Automation: New FactoryTalk Analytics GuardianAI Software Predicts Equipment Failures, Prevents Unplanned Downtime

March 14, 2024

FactoryTalk Analytics GuardianAI software offers maintenance engineers the insight to understand the current condition of assets on the plant floor.

They receive early notice as soon as an asset begins deviating from normal. Armed with this knowledge, they can plan their maintenance activities based on which asset has the highest risk of failure and let other assets continue to run, without stopping production unnecessarily to perform service.

With FactoryTalk Analytics GuardianAI software, manufacturers receive early warning of potential asset failures based on data that’s already available. The software leverages electrical signal data from variable frequency drives to understand how a plant asset performs under normal operating conditions. It then monitors the drive’s electrical signal during operation and when FactoryTalk Analytics GuardianAI detects a deviation, it alerts to the anomaly so that manufacturers can investigate and plan the correct response. The software provides premier integration with PowerFlex 755, 755T and 6000T drives for easy setup and deep insight for key process applications.
