Nerve Use Cases

Condition monitoring keeps track of key indicators for machine performance (vibration, temperature etc.) in order to identify any changes which may be indicative of a developing fault. Nerve provides a rich set of functions to implement a condition monitoring and predictive maintenance solution.

• In our case study with Felss, we show how Nerve provides a platform for Felss to offer its customers secure data connectivity on the machine, in the factory, and to the cloud.
• In our technical article with Felss, we go into more detail about how they use Nerve, among others in their current project for tool wear detection.

Remote Service includes all service and maintenance work that is carried out on machines and production lines without the service technician being on site. Nerve integrates a full featured remote service subsystem and allows software updates online and offline.

Machine Learning algorithms build a model based on sample data, known as training data, in order to make predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed to do so. Nerve can be used as a platform for collecting data to feed training models as well as a distribution method for deployment of Machine Learning algorithms and custom code.

• In our case study with craftworks, we show how the combination of Nerve with craftworks’ navio unites modular edge computing with seamless deployment of AI models into one ready-to-use solution.

A digital twin is a representation of a physical object, process or service. The twin can be a digital replica of an object in the physical world such as a CNC mill or a turbine. Nerve provides secure access to machine data which acts as the foundation for a digital twin.
