Rumors became a reality. In September 2020, reports appeared that Amazon secretly worked on a system that should monitor machines and signal necessary maintenance work at an early stage. While they did not want to officially comment on the rumors at the time, Amazon is already offering such a product for sale with “Monitron”.
Project started under the code name “Thor”
In September 2020 everything was still a kind of leak. Business Insider reported that Amazon secretly works on the development of a new service to “change an entire industry”. The information portal received the information from the company’s internal documents. As a result, a project is said to have hidden behind the code name “Thor” at that time that the company would like to provide service to optimize machine maintenance. According to the internal documents, it was a mechanical learning service, “which predicts with the help of temperature, sound and vibration measurements when a machine must probably be waited before an error occurs”. This enables customers to “better maintain maintenance [zu] Planning and unexpected performance waste from the machines [zu] Avoid “. Amazon did not want to give a statement on this undertaking at the time. Thor initially only remained a rumor.
From Thor becomes “Amazon Monitron”
On the “Re: Invent 2020” it was time: Amazon presented a new service, which should enable “predictive maintenance” in a simple and cost -efficient way. The functioning and objective were one -to -one with the publications of Business Insider. Only the name of the service is different today. Instead of “Amazon Thor”, he was baptized “Amazon Monitron”.
As “Amazon Web Services” (AWS) describes on its website, Monitron measures the vibrations and temperatures of rotating parts such as engines, driven, fans and pumps via special sensors. The data collected is then forwarded to a gateway via a Bluetooth low energy connection. The gateway is a small device that is attached to the respective machine and transmits all information obtained via Wi-Fi to the AWS cloud. An automatic analysis of the data now takes place in the cloud. According to its own information, Amazon Monitron recognizes abnormal processes within the monitored devices through machine learning and can therefore make recommendations for the necessary maintenance of the parts at an early stage. The condition of the technical equipment can be checked within a few minutes. The analysis results are accessed via the associated smartphone app. Using push notifications, the app provides users about determined irregularities. This gives those responsible the opportunity to fix the identified problem in good time before the machine completely fails.
The advantages of Amazon Monitron
With this service of the so -called “Predictive Maintenance”, Amazon Monitron would like to significantly reduce the machine downtime of its customers and make their production more efficient. Approaching mistakes and problems should be recognized before they really occur, so that solutions can be found inexpensively and time -saving. According to Amazon, users of Monitron do not have to have any experience in the field of mechanical learning to use and install the service or provide their own development work. The service would automatically analyze the data and only work with low hardware investment.
