- Operating diagnostics of electric drives (6)
An electric motor is a machine that converts electricity to mechanical energy. In the context of the power supply, the motors can be based on direct voltage. In this case, electric excitation motors, permanent magnet direct current motors, as well as shunt and serial electric motors are used.
- Report - Industry 4.0
- Industry 4.0 - revolution or evolution? (12)
When reading about Industry 4.0, you can sometimes get the impression that you are talking about the future. Communicating devices, artificial intelligence, algorithms that learn and make sovereign decisions about how to control production. It all sounds like a song of the future, while elements of these issues surround us today.

- Predictive maintenance - what next? (18)
Maintenance of machinery and equipment in operation is one of the most important areas in the production, processing and mining industry. The maintenance department ensures specific work stabilization. All of his activities strive to improve the OEE indicator - the overall equipment efficiency.
- Digitization of maintenance - #freeyourhands idea in practice (24)
Modern industry is losing qualified engineers operating production machines and product service processes. Why is this such a significant problem, since when we imagine the idea of the industry of the future - Industry 4.0 - we often think of factories in which robots took the place of engineers and technicians long ago?
