Building a Better Bearing

With an “all-hands on deck” approach to maintenance today, engineers require the latest tools and technologies in the form of new software/apps to make MRO tasks easier. Turns out, technology is allowing your smartphones, tablets and computers to track bearing reliability and performance with an emphasis on sustainability, longevity and analysis.

Mignano offered a few planned features for future updates including: a simple drop-in, 4-port smart lubricator—connecting directly to the Ecosystem; lubrication on condition from the 4-port lubricator; dynamic mode and high dynamic mode for intermittently operating machinery (cranes, etc.) as well as significant, automated diagnostic enhancements (AI, machine learning) and electric motor-specific monitoring capabilities.
