Sometimes less is more: You can be more efficient when you\u2019re able to focus just on the data that is sensible and pertinent\u2014even though it\u2019s tempting to think that the more data you have, the better you can perform your duties, and the less susceptible you are to getting blamed for system failures when things go wrong.<\/p>\n<p>But the other important thing to remember is that sensors are an imperfect technology. They can be miscalibrated to send the wrong data; they can send data you don\u2019t really care about; and of course, they can weaken and fail. Accounting for sensor limitations is an important part of maintaining healthy asset monitoring and management.<\/p>\n<p>Tignis uses the concepts of\u00a0<span style=\"color: #fd7e14;\"><a style=\"color: #fd7e14;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cohu.com\/tignis\/whats-a-digital-twin-and-why-do-you-need-one\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">digital twin and physics-based modeling\u00a0<\/a><\/span> to create system reliability solutions that put sensor data to work in useful, sensible ways.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A\u00a0<em>digital twin<\/em>\u00a0is a database that models your installation as a sum of its many components, connections, and characteristics. Without a digital twin, you have no electronic medium for accurately capturing the myriad ways each system part relates to and impacts the other parts so that you can develop meaningful knowledge about them.<\/li>\n<li><em>Physics-based modeling<\/em>\u00a0applies basic physical laws to the data models in your digital twin so that the solution can understand and learn usage patterns that conform to physical logic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Using these two elements in tandem has plenty of advantages for modernizing your long-term asset management approach. In a series of upcoming posts, we\u2019ll talk about the three steps you can take with sensors to align with this new perspective on asset management and help improve the ways you monitor system reliability:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><u>Optimize your use of existing sensors<\/u>\u00a0to avoid the unnecessary time and expense of installing new ones.<\/li>\n<li><u>Identify faulty sensors<\/u>\u00a0and other issues more readily in your environment.<\/li>\n<li><u>Eliminate false positives<\/u>\u00a0so that your monitoring solution gives you better, root cause-focused reporting.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Stay tuned to learn about each of these steps in more detail.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":45999,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[413],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-45998","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-thought-leadership"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>3 Steps to Optimizing System Reliability - Tignis | Cohu<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Sensors are an imperfect technology.
