Equipment Data Interface (EDI)

Find the root cause. Understand why. Prevent recurrence.

WHAT IS EQUIPMENT DATA INTERFACE (EDI)?

When a component fails or a machine is involved in an incident, the answer is usually already recorded onboard. Snapshots and dataloggers capture every sensor reading, second by second, but on most sites that data is never used. It’s hard to retrieve, locked in a database, or nobody has the time to dig through it.

EDI turns that untapped data into answers. It connects to your asset health systems and gives maintenance analysts and reliability engineers instant, browser-based access to high-resolution machine data, ready to plot, compare and explain. This has been used to great success with sites operating a variety of manufacturers such as Caterpillar, Hitachi, Komatsu, Sandvik, iTrack, and systems such as MineStar, Wenco, Modular and MS4M. EDI is a flexible platform and can be integrated into other systems that provide machine health data as needed.

EDI Interface Demo

  • Investigations in minutes, not days.

    Customers using EDI have cut investigation time from days to minutes. There are no downloads to request, files to chase or data to import by hand.

  • Find the real root cause.

     See which parameters moved first, how fast and in what order in the minutes before a failure or alarm. Replace assumptions with evidence.

  • Stop the next failure before it happens.

    Use what you learn to build virtual alarms or to refine trend limits in TET (Trend Exception Tool) so the next occurrence is caught early instead of when the alarm sounds.

FEATURES

EDI Features:

EDI is an intuitive tool with multiple features, including:​​

  • Automated email notification for new snapshots/dataloggers.​​

  • Multi-axis chart plotting.​

  • Associated alarm plotting.​

  • Ability to zoom in/out on data series.​

  • Scenario saving for repeated analysis.

  • Fully automated process removes the requirement to manually import data and files.

  • Powerful analytics tools (superior to standard ‘fixed’ PDF reporting)

  • Web browser based avoiding the need for desktop software.

  • Integration with ERP systems including automated work order notifications

EDI is installed and supported by MTS service team.. To arrange a demonstration, please contact us here.
