Bulk Material Shipping Port

The bulk materials shipping terminal is located on the north shore of Burrard Inlet in the Port of Vancouver.

It is a critical link in the supply chain that transports Canadian commodities to markets globally with trillions of dollars of goods managed.

Using vibration data from motors at our client, QCAi developed a machine learning based algorithm that could detect changes in the structural health of the motor.

The client’s previous alarming system was a static threshold-based system. Due to the noisy nature of vibration data these systems produce a large number of alarms resulting in alarm fatigue and issues in extracting actionable information.

With application of Machine learning algorithms, the noisy series is transformed into a new data stream that is only sensitive to changes in the underlying state of the motor. This model provides very useful information for the early detection of possible structural deterioration or defects. Ultimately empowering the business to schedule maintenance better and respond to issues proactively.

Visual Realtime reporting. Actionable recommendations through vibration analysis.

The maintenance team can now visualize Realtime and predictive data. This solution helps maintenance identifying potential issues faster, resolving challenges proactively, and planning maintenance with more accuracy.
