Predictive Maintenance & Condition Monitoring

AI use case

Solution Architect · a global intralogistics automation leader — built on the commissioning platform from my architect years

Predictive maintenance on real machine data from live production: the commissioning platform doubles as the data-acquisition layer, capturing operating states, events and usage via proprietary industrial telegram protocols — feeding early shuttle-wear detection, adaptive service planning and anomaly identification.
