Amazon recently announced a new product + software + AWS (Amazon Web Services) infrastructure that might be your business’s holiday present. You may be able to implement predictive maintenance with minimal cost and effort! AWS states, “Amazon Monitron is an end-to-end system that uses machine learning (ML) to detect abnormal behavior in industrial machinery, enabling you to implement predictive maintenance and reduce unplanned downtime.” The sensors are a 3-axis accelerometer to measure vibrations and a temperature-measuring component.
