PowerInsight by Advanced Energy™

PowerInsight acts like a flight recorder, captures AE’s power delivery system performance data, including configurable FastDAQ data for critical events (equivalent to oscilloscope data). It increases up time by reducing turnaround of troubleshooting and no problem observed (NPO) returns.

How it Works

Challenge:

Vacuum capacitor failures can cause downtime and reduce throughput. The ability to estimate mechanical life consumed/remaining would enable more accurate prediction of required maintenance cycles.

Solution:

PowerInsight data consultants created and embedded an algorithm to estimate the mechanical life consumed and/or remaining for the vacuum capacitors found within AE RF matching networks. The reliability/survival model uses the actual movements of the capacitors as they tune to balance the load as the primary input; small "dithering" movements have little to no impact on vac-cap lifespans over time, whereas large movements (typically exceeding 50% of the range) have a significant, negative impact on lifespan — the relationship is highly non-linear. The dashboard publishes the estimated life remaining (upper left panel) and projected days remaining until a maintenance service should be performed (upper right panel), assuming the recorded usage patterns continue. The algorithm employs a statistical learning method to adjust its estimates as usage patterns change or evolve.
