Businesses often see updating their machine maintenance solutions as a daunting, budget-breaking project, which used to be true, but not anymore! Getting started with predictive maintenance is actually easier than ever, thanks to solutions like Snap Signal, by Banner Engineering. This innovative tech lets you ease into upgrading your maintenance strategies without blowing the bank by enabling remote monitoring for existing sensors and controllers.
We're breaking down this great predictive maintenance solution and sharing some application examples below. Keep reading, or watch our video!

An additional advantage of Snap Signal is the option to deploy remote radios throughout the facility, ensuring data collection from previously isolated areas. This facilitates the consolidation of data islands into a centralized location, providing a comprehensive overview of the entire facility. By utilizing remote radios, maintenance teams can monitor assets located in remote corners without requiring extensive wiring.
With Snap Signal as your ally, data collection and analysis become easy, as maintenance personnel can analyze data trends, identify patterns, and proactively address equipment issues from anywhere at any time.
Let's break down two examples where almost every industrial facility could benefit from implementing predictive maintenance: dust collectors, and facilities rooms.
Dust collectors are essential components helping keep the air clean and safe in many workplaces. However, they are often located in isolated areas where people may not always notice if they start to deteriorate, and this can be dangerous for both employees and the machines themselves - making them a great candidate for predictive maintenance soultions.
Facilities rooms are great places for predicted maintenance because they're out of sight and out of mind. These spaces are generally off the main production floor and not an area where maintenance is commonly walking through, so you can have assets deteriorating without anyone knowing. Thankfully with today's technology, like Banner's Snap Signal, you can permanently mount sensors and wireless radios to give you the data all over a facilities room, back to one centralized point. Giving you the flexibility of getting those remote assets in corners but not having to spend time or money to run wire to every corner of the facilities' room with the vibration monitoring.
Banner Engineering's cloud platform is what really enables predictive maintenance. Connecting your production equipment lets you easily gather, organize, and export historical data to improve system quality and optimize processes.
Predictive maintenance has become vital for optimizing operations and minimizing downtime. Snap Signal provides a comprehensive and simple solution for data collection, critical component monitoring, and real-time alerts when needed.
The best part of Snap Signal? This technology allows you to harness the power of your existing sensors and technology, letting you easily update your maintenance strategies over time, without going over budget.
