In modern production lines, the cost of a single second of downtime can mean thousands of dollars in losses. Traditional threshold-based alarm systems only notify you after a failure has occurred. However, HUBBOX Connect X2 and AI Connector, equipped with "Anomaly Detection" technology, catch hidden deviations even before a symptom appears.
Legacy systems trigger an alarm when a motor's temperature exceeds 90°C. However, if that motor is running at 70°C when it should be operating at 40°C, that is also a problem, yet traditional systems miss it. The machine learning models within the HUBBOX AI Connector:
Sending and processing data in the cloud for anomaly detection is a significant waste of time. HUBBOX Connect X2 performs this analysis directly on the "Edge"—inside the device—thanks to lightweight AI models running on Docker.
Latency during data transfer causes the loss of critical seconds.
Commands are sent to the PLC within milliseconds, and bandwidth savings are achieved.
Machines are complex structures. Sometimes a single data point (e.g., temperature) is not enough to explain an anomaly. AI Connector establishes correlations by processing data from multiple sensors simultaneously:
"If current draw increases while vacuum pressure drops, this is the beginning of a blockage." HUBBOX collects this scattered data coming from different protocols (Modbus, OPC-UA, S7) into a single Docker container and filters it through advanced algorithms.
Anomaly detection shifts your maintenance strategy from "Repair after failure" (Reactive) to "Intervention before failure" (Proactive).
Avoid unnecessary stock costs because you know exactly which part will fail and when.
Increase field safety by preemptively stopping potential explosions, leaks, or mechanical breakages.
