Description:
Humanity has long dreamt of possessing complete knowledge but this dream has so far remained unfulfilled. The desire to understand the inner workings of the world, or at least that of machines and people, is similar.
Even Goethe's Faust, in his famous study, enthuses, "That I may understand whatever binds the world's innermost core together". And so, condition monitoring has been used for years to detect which conditions are prevalent in machines and processes, where changes are likely to occur, or what will most likely happen tomorrow – and why. This milestone is now within reach thanks to the help of artificial intelligence (AI), as hundreds of requests at Festo show every year.
