SKF and Amazon Web Services to reinvent machine reliability solutions

SKF and Amazon Web Services, Inc. (AWS) have announced a collaboration to reinvent the field of industrial-machine reliability and predictive maintenance with a joint solution. The engagement will deliver an easy-to-use and easy-to-scale condition monitoring and analysis solution that makes the ability to collect and analyze data using machine learning technologies available to a wider range of applications and customers, the partners note. As a first step, SKF will combine its knowledge of rotating machinery and predictive maintenance with AWS’s industrial AI services that bring industrial expertise, AI and machine learning technologies together. The solution is comprised of sensors, gateways and a machine-learning service that is easy to install, commission, and scale, they claim. SKF and AWS will also collaborate on the next generation of SKF’s data-analysis platform.
