ADI | Industry 4.0 and Beyond
System-Level Solutions and
AI Platforms to Accelerate Condition
Monitoring Deployments
Complete, system-level solutions for condition monitoring
applications will be key to enabling higher quality data and
insights, thereby significantly improving manufacturing processes.
Advances in 10BASE-T1L/Ethernet-APL, coupled with a real-time,
AI-driven sensing technology such as ADI OtoSense™, can enable
AI integration at all levels of customer systems. The ADI OtoSense
platform senses and interprets any sound, vibration, pressure,
current, or temperature to provide continuous, condition-based
monitoring and on-demand diagnostics. It operates on the field
asset at the edge, in real-time, both online and offline. The ADI
OtoSense system detects anomalies and learns from interaction
with condition monitoring domain experts while creating a
digital fingerprint to help identify faults in a machine to predict
breakdowns before they cause costly downtime, damage, or
catastrophic failure.
Advancements in sensing, signal
processing, connectivity, mechanical
packaging techniques, and
artificial intelligence at the
edge enable new condition-
monitoring solutions and
predictive-maintenance
services that will unlock
significant savings
and productivity
improvements.

THE ADI OTOSENSE PLATFORM SENSES AND
INTERPRETS ANY SOUND, VIBRATION, PRESSURE,
CURRENT, OR TEMPERATURE TO PROVIDE
CONTINUOUS, CONDITION-BASED MONITORING
AND ON-DEMAND DIAGNOSTICS.
New system-
level solutions
for condition-
monitoring
applications will
include MEMS sensors
for vibration and shock
detection, precision
converter technologies for
data acquisition, and edge
processing to create high-
quality asset health data. Low
power, robust wired and wireless
communication solutions provide
access to the asset health data from
the asset. Wireless communication
solutions include SmartMesh® or
Wireless HART®. Wired communications
solutions include RS-485 or 10BASE-T1L
single-pair Ethernet that provides power
and data on two wires. These technologies
and high-performance power management are
combined in asset monitoring solutions (such as
OtoSense technology), which are complete hardware
and AI-monitoring solutions that can be mounted on
equipment for predictive maintenance (Figure 4).
Higher-quality asset-health insights and faster connectivity
will extend equipment lifespans, reduce maintenance costs,
and eliminate unscheduled downtime while maintaining
the highest manufacturing quality and safety levels in smart
factories.
