A Watchful Eye for Maintenance

Early detection of anomalies enables condition-based maintenance.

Air Liquide, a specialist in industrial gases, has invested nearly €40 million at its site in Stade, Lower Saxony, to decarbonize synthesis gas production. As part of this initiative, continuous monitoring of the new high-temperature reactor was implemented. WAGO provided the ideal solution: a combination of a thermal camera, a WAGO IoT Gateway, and seamless integration into the process control system. This setup enables early detection of anomalies and supports condition-based maintenance when needed.

In This Article, You Will Learn:

  • Why seamless integration into the process control system is more sustainable than a stand-alone solution.
  • The importance of the interface to the control system, especially when retrofitting existing machines and systems.
  • How managing and calculating anomaly data at the PLC level already reduces system load.
