increased data transfer rates (DTRs) and faster charging capabilities.  USB-C connectors have a small rectangular shape with rounded edges. Its design is symmetrical and each end of a USB-C cable has both downstream and upstream connectors. This means that end users do not need to be concerned with orientation when plugging in a USB-C cable. USB Type-C supports the 3.2 and 3.1 versions of the USB specification. It is also backward compatible with both USB 3.0 and USB 2.0.

Predictive Maintenance

 

Predictive maintenance (PdM) is an approach to asset management that relies on operational data to determine when a physical asset requires service. An important goal of PdM is to minimize maintenance costs by preventing equipment failures before they occur.  Predictive maintenance plays an important role in industries that requires high availability (HA) for machine parts. PdM can be contrasted with reactive maintenance and preventive maintenance.

Reactive Maintenance – Run equipment until it breaks and then fix or replace it. 

Preventive Maintenance – Replace parts and schedule equipment repairs on a time- or machine-run-based schedule.

Predictive Maintenance – Use intelligent sensors to monitor machine parts in operations and machine learning to determine when data has deviated from desired parameters.

Predictive maintenance software uses data produced by Internet of Things (IoT) and Industry 4.0 edge nodes to monitor the condition of mechanical assets as they are operating. Consumer-grade predictive maintenance software apps will typically issue an alert when data suggests a replacement part or maintenance appointment is needed.

In contrast, some enterprise-level PdM software applications are able to connect to other business systems and actually order replacement parts and set up appointments so repairs can be made. Popular enterprise PdM vendors include Fxix, UpKeep and eMaint.
