Svendborg Brakes™
Universal Control Case (UCCase/m)
Smart technology support
The portable control case serves as a versatile tool for remote support and data visualization during commissioning or service of Svendborg Brakes brake systems within wind turbines, including Hydraulic Power Units such as the 2-stage and On/Off units. The primary data input is the brake-side pressure, obtained from the included pressure transmitters. With its built-in WiFi hotspot, the case provides seamless internet access through a secure gateway, ensuring trouble-free connectivity.
Data collected from sensors is either stored in the cloud or can be directly displayed on the screen for real-time analysis. This enables maintenance personnel to visualize the performance of the brake system and diagnose any potential issues. By coupling visualization with analytical models, the tool facilitates the prediction of brake system behavior and offers recommendations for preventive action to mitigate the risk of malfunction. This IIoT tool enhances the efficiency and effectiveness of maintenance and monitoring processes for wind turbine brake systems.
Features
- The UCCase/m enables a shift in service approach, allowing Svendborg Brakes technicians to remotely assist on-site technicians. This facilitates timely maintenance and troubleshooting of wind turbine brake systems without the need for physical presence, thereby reducing downtime.
- By enabling remote service jobs and preliminary investigations, the UCCase/m offers significant cost savings for wind turbine owners. This eliminates the need for costly travel expenses and ensures efficient allocation of resources.
- The UCCase/m serves as a valuable tool for complex commissioning tasks by providing access to a visualization dashboard. This allows all Svendborg Brakes experts to participate remotely, ensuring comprehensive support and efficient commissioning of wind turbine brake systems.
- By facilitating proactive maintenance and timely intervention, the UCCase/m helps prevent fatal brake system failures in wind turbines. This ultimately increases production uptime, ensuring uninterrupted operation and maximizing energy generation.
