Computer Vision for Predictive Maintenance | viAct
Computer vision is a transformative technology in predictive maintenance, providing real-time insights that enable organizations to maintain equipment more effectively and avoid costly failures. Predictive maintenance leverages advanced algorithms to analyze images and videos, using data from equipment to detect potential issues before they escalate. This technology is valuable in industries with high reliance on machinery, such as manufacturing, transportation, and energy, where unplanned downtime can lead to substantial losses.
Computer vision systems use cameras and sensors to capture data from machinery, identifying patterns and anomalies that may indicate early signs of wear or malfunction. For instance, high-resolution cameras can detect minute cracks or corrosion in equipment, while infrared imaging can reveal hotspots indicative of overheating. Advanced machine learning algorithms analyze these images, identifying subtle signs of deterioration that human inspectors might miss. By continuously monitoring these assets, companies can anticipate failures and perform maintenance only when needed.
