Synspective releases Land Displacement Monitoring service to allow ground movement monitoring in millimetres.  Synspective, a Japanese company offering satellite data and derived solutions, using small-sized SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) satellites, releases its first "Land Displacement Monitoring" service which allows ground movement monitoring in millimetres, obtained through image analysis of SAR  satellites data. The Synspective Land Displacement Monitoring service starts from InSAR*2 analysis that is potent of identifying timely vertical land displacement, in millimetres, over a wide area. This service allows for periodical observation and information about land subsidence and deformation. It takes vast time and labor to understand the risk of land subsidence and landslides over a wide area. By using Synspective's latest service, cost and time is reduced, when compared to the conventional observation and control techniques in relation to these ground change risks. This new service is multifaceted and can be applied in many land risk management projects such as construction projects, airport maintenance projects, and subway development projects, among others. Additionally, remote site surveying can be extremely relevant in disaster-struck areas where human access is limited or dangerous, or where social movement is limited due to the recent COVID-19 virus impact. Synspective provides this solution on a subscription basis through a SaaS format. Users can access the platform without installing the software and are able to check the analysis results on the web. User-friendly UI/UX allows users to intuitively understand the analysis results without any prior information on satellite data. Capability and functionality of this latest service were tested through preliminary utilization projects with several organizations. Through the insights learned from this PoC project, further utilization models are developed. This project also offered Synspective with feedback for improvements to the service, which has been incorporated in the current release. ...Read more

MDCplus equipment monitoring system powered by predictive analytics helps forecast equipment breakdowns, increases production performance and actual equipment utilization, and reduces unscheduled downtime.  A Finnish-Russian industrial digitalization leader, Zyfra releases an updated version of MDCplus real-time machine monitoring and manufacturing data collection system. The systems’ functioning principle suggests that each machine automatically sends its operation data into one digital system. Data on the equipment condition, workload, and modes of operation is transferred from the machines to computers and other devices armed with special software. It makes production processes transparent and offers objective data to add value to management decisions concerning redistribution of machine workload, product quality, control of personnel performance, and reduction of downtime. Currently, MDCplus combines about 10,000 machines at 330 enterprises in more than 20 countries, including India, Russia, Romania, Singapore, Turkey, Finland, and France. The latest version gives enterprises an opportunity to control and analyze the production cycle and connect machines to the monitoring system without additional support. To connect a machine to the monitoring system, it has to be combined into the local internal network of an enterprise. It needs only a few steps to connect the machine to the system remotely and to collect data. Continuous enhancement of the system is necessary for the context of high alert due to the pandemic. It also helps boost the integration of monitoring in production. Zyfra has successfully completed a pilot project for remote connection of machines at Harsha Engineers, one of the leading manufacturers of bearing cages.  The new release has the options for control and life cycle analysis of each workpiece or part. Labels on workpieces can be leveraged to track each processing stage. Precise data about location and operations performed reveals deviations in technical processes and promptly identifies defective parts. This ultimately reduces the cost of corrections and excludes the possibility of defective items shipment to the customer. MDCplus system offers energy efficiency modules, automated support of maintenance and repair services, and integration with a predictive analytics system. Power consumption monitoring option helps collect data on energy losses from machines in a multitude of modes and conditions in a prompt manner and to register and analyze quality indicators of the power supply system. Automated service and repair also help reduce repair time and increase the lifespan of machinery through optimized speed and quality of preventive service. ...Read more
