The monitoring of production lines needs predictive maintenance to prevent failures - both for new plants, but also for retrofitting existing production facilities. The evaluation of classic measured values already helps somewhat, but the goal must be to use new approaches to detect an emerging problem even earlier and thus prevent it. In this case study, you will learn what requirements such an application places on the electronics and how embedded modules based on the processors of the i.MX 8M Plus family can provide a solution.

What you will learn from our Case Study:

• How an existing control system can be retrofitted with evaluation electronics
• Which communication interfaces are necessary for predictive maintenance
• How machine learning performance can be increased without increasing power requirements
