CIMCON Digital Launches VIBit-BP: First to Offer Wired and Battery-Powered Vibration Sensor for Industrial Asset Maintenance

Ahmedabad (Gujarat) [India]: CIMCON Digital, a prominent player in predictive and prescriptive maintenance technology, announced the launch of its VIBit-BP, a battery-powered vibration sensor that eliminates the need for wired connections. As the first company to offer both battery-powered and wired vibration sensors, CIMCON Digital aims to provide flexibility to industries seeking practical predictive maintenance solutions. VIBit-BP responds to the global demand in markets where either the cost to install wires is prohibitive, power is not available or access to industrial assets being monitored is limited due to plant operating conditions. It also leverages the advances in battery technology and low power wireless networks to provide almost 10 years of battery life. With the addition of this product, customers can integrate all their assets, whether they require wired or battery-operated vibration sensors into one system. Additionally, both sensors are compatible with the company’s new generative AI assistant the Muni, allowing customers to receive machine health updates with its natural language chat bot.

VIBit-BP offers the same level of performance as its wired counterpart and seamlessly integrates into CIMCON’s state-of-the-art Industrial IoT platform. CIMCON customers can therefore continue to enjoy the same level of performance as it relates to anticipating potential failures, enhancing machine reliability while reducing operational and maintenance costs. Designed for demanding industrial settings, this compact vibration sensor offers the same mounting options that do not require any drilling or intrusive operations. It offers reliable wireless connectivity via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) for remote monitoring and advanced AI/ML-based analytics through a user-friendly interface for comprehensive machine health insights.

CIMCON Digital’s CEO, Anil Agrawal, said “with VIBit-BP, customers have the choice to go wireless and still experience the same reliability that they are used to from our wired product while interacting seamlessly with the software and Muni for real-time machine health updates.”

Introducing Muni: CIMCON Digital’s Generative AI-Based Virtual Assistant that will Transform Manufacturing Decision-Making

Introducing Muni: CIMCON Digital’s Generative AI-Based Virtual Assistant that will Transform Manufacturing Decision-Making

Ahmedabad and Boston, August 2023 – CIMCON Digital, an AI-led IoT technology company in the manufacturing space, is thrilled to announce the launch of its innovative AI-powered virtual assistant, Muni. Designed to revolutionize manufacturing operations, Muni is set to enhance data-driven decision-making and boost asset reliability.

Muni is a sophisticated human-like expert interface to its AI-based Machine Anomaly detection and diagnostics application, tailored for manufacturing stakeholders and decision-makers. By harnessing the NLP (Natural Language Processing) power of Generative AI, Muni enables a human-like conversation with manufacturing professionals to optimize asset availability, reliability, and efficiency in an easy and interactive manner.

Muni seamlessly integrates with CIMCON‘s VIBit (Vibration, Temperature, and Noise) and CIM edge IIoT Platform. These cutting-edge tools collectively gather real-time machine health and performance data at a split-second interval. The software then employs a combination of physics, proven rules, and a number of advanced machine learning algorithms to precisely detect anomalies and identify machine faults with associated risk levels as well as recommendations to fix them.

“We are excited to introduce Muni to the manufacturing industry,” said Anil Agrawal, CEO of CIMCON Digital. “It is a game changer. It humanizes technology by enabling humanistic conversations where manufacturing professionals can question the system. This includes peeking into the way our software thinks resulting in quick decision making thereby avoiding costly machine downtime, saving plant owners hundreds of thousands of dollars while improving their brand. ”

Here is an example of a conversation with Muni and a manufacturing head, Tom:

Muni: “Hello Tom, good morning. A few assets changed their health status since you last logged in. Would you like to know further details from me?”

Tom: “Yes, provide me a list of assets under high risk.”

Muni: “Sure, Tom, the following assets are under high risk:

  • Screw Compressor (Asset ID: COM-456)
  • Pump 1 (Asset ID: PMP-789)
  • AHU Blower (Asset ID: AHU-123)
  • Force Draft Fan (Asset ID: FD-567)

Tom: “How many days has the Screw Compressor been at high risk?”

Muni: “The Screw Compressor (Asset ID: COM-456) has been at high risk for the past 5 days.”

Tom: “What is its fault mode?”

Muni: The fault mode is BPFI (Ball Pass Frequency Inner) found on ‘Motor Drive End Side’ of the Screw Compressor. The Non-synchronous energy at ball pass frequency in inner race 1xBPFI to 3xBPFI has increased.

Tom: “What’s your recommendation?”

Muni: “My recommendation is to assign this task to the maintenance team for inspection of the inner race bearing and replace the bearing, if required.

Muni: “Is there anything else I can assist you with today?”

Tom: “No thanks, all set.”

As shown above, Muni’s interface is extremely interactive and intuitive, allowing users to get a clear picture of their plant health issues along with subsequent recommendations.

CIMCON Digital’s Muni is poised to redefine the manufacturing landscape, propelling businesses towards data-driven excellence and unprecedented asset reliability. With its real-time insights and proactive recommendations, Muni showcases its potential to optimize manufacturing processes and drive decision-making for businesses in the industry to the next level.

“At CIMCON Digital, we are committed to bringing innovation and efficiency to the manufacturing sector,” added Agrawal. “Muni embodies our dedication to harnessing the power of AI to unlock the full potential of manufacturing processes.”

CIMCON Digital Releases Favorable End-of-Year Results

CIMCON Digital Releases Favorable End-of-Year Results

CIMCON Digital, an AI-led technology company focused on reducing energy and O&M costs and driving sustainability goals for energy-intensive industrial businesses, has released its end-of-year results, demonstrating significant growth and expansion in key areas of its business. CIMCON’s VIBit, an AI-driven, vibration-based predictive and prescriptive solution, has helped various companies across industries like pharmaceuticals, cement, tire, automotive, FMCG, and steel move closer to their ambitious net-zero goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

To accelerate adoption and enable cost-sensitive use cases, CIMCON launched MachineAstro, an IOT-in-a-box solution, that includes multiple vibration sensors and temperature, pressure, flow, and energy meters wired to an edge device running AI-based diagnostic software. This solution has received an overwhelming response from machine manufacturers and industrial automation system integrators.

This year, CIMCON saw several of its existing VIBit customers take the next step in their digital transformation journey by implementing its state-of-the-art edge IIoT platform, CIM, which delivers several unique use cases, including some that involve video analytics.

Continuing with its theme of making digital products affordable, CIMCON also introduced CIM10, a product that allows users to easily connect their entire factory or plant. This helps plant owners identify opportunities for energy efficiency and waste reduction at an enterprise level, ultimately contributing to a more sustainable future and progress towards achieving net-zero goals.

“We are proud that our technologies are helping address approximately one-third of global GHG emissions contributed by energy-intensive industries each year,” said Anil Agrawal, CEO of CIMCON Digital. “We are also delighted to see some of our customers making rapid progress towards their sustainability and industry 4.0 goals through our CIM IIoT platform.”

The company remains committed to leveraging AI to create a more sustainable industrial world and building on its current momentum going forward.
