Introduction

When it comes to industrial maintenance, the key to operational excellence lies in being proactive. The BoB Assistant, a modern LoRa-based device with a great name, handles predictive maintenance for a wide array of machinery, from water pumps and air compressors to HVAC systems and generators. 

In this article we’ll demonstrate how system integrators and maintenance teams can leverage its capabilities to enhance efficiency and reliability in just 10 minutes.

Device Overview

The BoB Assistant is designed to monitor machinery that exhibits vibrational activity during operation. This includes water pumps, air compressors, vacuum and HVAC chiller systems, combustion engines, generators, and reducers. Note: It's important to remember that BoB Assistant is not suitable for use with machinery in moving objects, like a combustion engine inside a train.

Technology at Work

The device leverages embedded AI and machine learning algorithms to analyze vibration differences across the X, Y, and Z axes as well as to monitor surface temperature changes. While it excels at measuring operational times and detecting vibration drifts relative to a standard reference, BoB Assistant sends alerts on anomalies without diagnosing specific failure causes or transmitting raw vibration data.

Setup Simplicity

BoB Assistant enters a 7-day learning phase after installation to prepare for its predictive operations. The installation process is smooth and cable-free; a magnetic mount allows for easy attachment to machines without causing any damage. Additionally, a single button on the device ensures a super straightforward setup and ongoing operation.

Benefits for IoT System Integrators

BoB Assistant is a robust solution for predictive maintenance that system integrators can deploy quickly and with confidence.

Key advantages include:

• Minimal Requirements: You only need three ingredients: a LoRa Gateway, a preferred LoRa Network Service Provider, and the Qubitro platform.
• Quick Revenue Generation: Straightforward setup means you can start generating revenue quickly.
• Opportunities for Up-Selling: Presents excellent up-selling opportunities to further enhance business growth.
• New Sales Opportunities: Implementing this solution opens new doors for sales, helping system integrators expand their market presence.
• Enhanced Client Operations: Provides clients with a fast return on investment that helps  to improve operational efficiency and reliability.

Empowering Maintenance Departments

With BoB Assistant and Qubitro, maintenance teams can revolutionize their approach to maintenance management, shifting from a reactive to a proactive stance.

• Simplified Technology Use: The duo makes it easier for teams to adopt and use technology effectively.
• Proactive Maintenance: Helps teams transition from reacting to maintenance issues to preventing them before they occur.
• Instant Machine Insights: BoB Assistant provides real-time data on machine performance, which enhances diagnostics and minimizes downtime.
• Competitive Advantage: The insights and proactive approach equip teams with capabilities that significantly improve efficiency—almost like having superpowers.
• Reduced IT Burden: This solution simplifies software setup, freeing IT departments to concentrate on more strategic tasks rather than handle routine technical issues.

By integrating BoB Assistant and Qubitro, maintenance departments can not only improve their operational efficiency but also enhance overall productivity and reliability.

No-code Deployment in Minutes with Qubitro

The process of configuring the BoB Assistant on Qubitro is 100% no-code, including integrating with LNS providers, decoding data, and visualizing with dashboards using device templates instantly.

Decoding Data with Device Templates

Qubitro’s device templates make it easy to decode and interpret data from devices like the BoB Assistant. By choosing and applying the appropriate template, the incoming data is automatically decoded and ready for use.

Instant Data Visualization

Once the data is decoded, you can visualize it instantly using Qubitro’s powerful dashboard features. By creating and customizing widgets, data metrics can be monitored in real-time, providing immediate insights and enabling quick decision-making.
