29 Outubro 2019 - 12:00PM
Business Wire
Analog Devices, Inc. (ADI) today announced the acquisition of
Test Motors, a company specializing in predictive maintenance of
electric motors and generators. Based in Barcelona, Spain, Test
Motors offers products and services that detect faults in electric
motors before they cause damage to production cycles and advises on
how and when to repair them. The acquisition expands ADI’s
portfolio of condition-based monitoring solutions capable of
identifying equipment faults before downtime and catastrophic
failure occur.

This acquisition builds on Analog Devices’ 2018 addition of
OtoSense, a startup that developed “sensing interpretation”
software able to learn and recognize sounds or vibration and
identify potential problems in a factory machine or a car’s engine
before they become severe. OtoSense’s artificial intelligence (AI)
platform is dedicated to sensing interpretation and enabling the
monitoring of any asset, wherever located. Analog Devices plans to
combine software from OtoSense with Test Motors’ monitoring
capabilities to create solutions that offer an advanced, wholistic
snapshot of machine health by capturing a wider breadth of
potential faults.

“Machine maintenance relies heavily on experienced technicians
and engineers able to detect and diagnose issues that can lead to
unplanned downtime,” said Kevin Carlin, Vice President Automation
and Energy Group, Analog Devices. “There are not enough trained
professionals, however, to keep up with the demand as the number of
machines to maintain rapidly grows. ADI’s condition-based
monitoring applications, driven by the acquisitions of Test Motors
and OtoSense, will tackle this expert resource challenge by
providing customers with a system able to perform complete and
early detection of anomalies to avoid unexpected and costly machine
downtime.”
The Test Motors team will join ADI’s Automation and Energy Group
and operate as a key technology group. Financial terms of the
acquisition were not disclosed.
“We are excited to become part of Analog Devices and work with
its team of industrial technology experts,” said Emili Valero, Test
Motors’ former CEO. “The combining of our technology and expertise
will enable us to develop the next generation of condition-based
monitoring solutions designed to greatly extend manufacturing
equipment life for electrical and non-electrical rotating machines
and deliver significant cost savings that benefit both businesses
and consumers.”
ADI’s Condition-based Monitoring Solutions
Condition-based monitoring is not about any single technology
but instead a system-level solution that requires a combination of
technologies and solution considerations. Analog Devices’
technology portfolio enables these solutions with breakthroughs in
MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) sensors, flexible signal
conditioning and data conversion technologies, processing and
communications solutions with the power portfolio to deliver
optimized wireless and wired condition-based monitoring solutions.
Combining these technologies into a deployable solution requires
domain expertise in the form of asset and application insights,
mechanical design and attachment considerations, and the ability to
convert the information into diagnostic algorithms.
