Emerging Technologies Resources

This page has been set up to provide EASA members with a dedicated spot for information related to emerging motor technologies, remote condition monitoring and the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT). Content on this page is curated by EASA's Ad Hoc Committee on Emerging Technologies and will include EASA and non-EASA content from from around the internet. Check back for updates.

Remote Condition Monitoring for Electric Motor and Drive Systems

Remote Condition Monitoring OverviewThis overview of remote condition monitoring for electric motor and drive systems gives EASA members a high-level introduction to the industrial internet of things (IIoT).

Remote condition monitoring is much more than just hardware, sensors and gateways. This overview will not only introduce you to the hardware side, but also to the other main factors that must be considered for a successful IIoT program. This overview contains sections on:

  • Maintenance Philosophies
    Takes a look at the different philosophies and IIoT’s impact on them.
  • Business Models
    Explores the many business models that can create success in IIoT, as well as the pros and cons of each approach.
  • Software/Data Platform
    Explains the main factors impacting the data and software side of IIoT solutions.
  • Hardware Selection
    Illustrates sensor and gateway infrastructure and flow, as well as the many potential plant equipment and process metrics that can be monitored.

End Users Offer Perspective on Internet-Enabled Condition Monitoring

January 2020
Article

In March of 2019, EASA conducted an in-depth survey to better understand how end users decide between repairing or replacing electric motors and to identify electric motor repair/replacement trends. Internet-enabled condition monitoring has been a hot topic recently and, as a result, questions related to this were added to the list of survey questions. The survey returned some very interesting results about internet-enabled condition monitoring.

Emerging and Disruptive Technologies

July 2019
Convention presentation

The internet is exceptionally good at one thing – providing data access. Similarly, computers which are the heart of the internet are good at dealing with data; they store data and analyze data. With the access to data provided by the internet and the storage and analysis capabilities of computers, results are possible now that could only be dreamed about in the prior century, (even if some of those dreams were nightmares).

Industry Research: Service Center Trends and Future

June 2017
Convention presentation

Over the past 15 years, EASA has conducted periodic research that has focused on many of the stakeholders and participants in the electromechanical repair, service and sales industry.  In early 2017, Indian River Consulting Group once again conducted research surveys of EASA repair firms. The results of those surveys show you the perspectives of fellow EASA members on a range of important subjects as well as the latest trends as well as perspectives from other industrial and distribution sectors. This research can help you to benchmark your company's results and strategies.
