Bob Assistant Overview Bob Assistant Overview The Bob Assistant is a low-power LoRaWAN (a type of low- power, wide-area wireless network) compatible vibration sensor for indoor and outdoor predictive maintenance industrial applications, coupled with a temperature sensor for environmental conditions, a push-button, and an RBG LED light for user interface.
Purpose of predictive maintenance Purpose Of Predictive Maintenance When a machine starts breaking down, vibration drift is the first measurable symptom: The Bob sensor uses AI to predict when equipment breakdowns might occur. In the process, saving costs in machine evaluations. However, a distinction must be made between breakdowns due to wear and tear (slow drift) and breakage (fast drift).
Differentiating Factors of the Bob Assistant Differentiating Factors Of The Bob Assistant Unlike traditional predictive maintenance Bob uses its AI to learn quickly and learn sensors, the Bob Assistant has zero infra, well! It applies analysis algorithms zero wiring, and zero configuration. To embedded in its sensor to understand and install Bob, simply place it on your monitor all of your equipment.

1.4 Assembling Bob Assistant 1.4 Bob Assistant assembly 1.4.1 Magnets - default configuration Bob Assistant is delivered with a magnet kit, so you can put your device on your machine out of the box. To assemble, follow the image below: Default configuration: - These magnet references have been successfully tested as compliant with ETSI 300-019 class 5.2...
1.5 Installation guide 1.5 Quick installation guide Click on image for video To install the Bob Assistant, simply place it on the device you’re measuring. The first step when you install Bob ASSISTANT on a machine you want to monitor will be to start the device, and make sure that: o the LoraWanNetwork is reachable ( TWO GREEN LIGHTS ON YOUR GATEWAY ) o there is a certain vibration level of the machine...
1.5 Installation guide 1.5.1 Turning Bob Assistant ON To turn the device on, push and hold the button for 5 seconds. The LED will blink green twice and a blue light will show for 15 seconds. Bob ASSISTANT is OFF by default when delivered. In order to start Bob ASSISTANT, you need to: •...
1.5 Installation guide Ensure that the machine connected to the Bob Assistant is vibrating. The device is going to try to connect to the LoRaWAN network 6 times. If it does not connect after 3 hours, try to reset the device by pushing the BUTTON for 15 seconds. (For troubleshooting help, see §2.2.4 Troubleshooting)

2.2 Bob Assistant fundamentals 2.2 Bob Assistant fundamentals 2.2.1 Learning stages Once the Bob Assistant is installed, it will start to learn the machine cycle(s). The Bob Assistant will start its first learning sessions which will last for a few hours (~1 to 4 hours for a machine with a simple vibration cycle, e.g.
2.2 Bob Assistant fundamentals 2.2.3 Monitoring After the learning mode, Bob ASSISTANT will switch to Monitoring mode, where it will continue its reporting activity, and will start sending alarms if the drift in the vibration signature pass a defined threshold (default value is 25% drift). For each signal sampling (every 5 minutes by default), Bob ASSISTANT will process the sampled signal, and compare it to its dataset.
Frequently Asked Questions 3) Frequently Asked Questions 3.1 Which type of equipment is well suited for Bob ASSISTANT? Bob ASSISTANT measures the vibrations of a machine and analyses its evolution over time. Vibration signature deviations are detected in real time and an alert is sent if the deviation exceeds a 25% threshold.
Frequently Asked Questions 3.4 Can we start Bob ASSISTANT on a machine that is not running? If your machine is stopped during installation, you can still position Bob ASSISTANT and start it. The learning procedure will start when the equipment is back on. You must still make sure that the vibration is sufficient at this position.
