Fault Detection and Diagnostics

End the break-fix cycle and keep your systems running at peak efficiency by proactively detecting and diagnosing faults with Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions (MEIDS).

What is Fault Detection and Diagnostics Software?

Fault Detection and Diagnostics (FDD) technology significantly reduces costs and improves operational efficiency. It incorporates a standard library of fault rules that can be customized to predict equipment failures and advise personnel of preventive actions. Before the emergence of FDD software solutions, many organizations relied on institutional knowledge in order to fix or maintain their wide variety of equipment. After the development of FDD tech, this type of info (the numerous symptoms, causes and recommended actions) that may have only existed in the heads of senior personnel or, if lucky, in print or electronic archives, could now be used in algorithms to help organizations move from reactionary “break/fix” maintenance to more modern, more cost-effective predictive maintenance.

How FDD Works

Mitsubishi Electric Iconics Digital Solutions FDD tools use an advanced Fault Rules Engine that calculates fault probability as well as all associated costs. It saves users configuration time by making integration easier, faster and more intuitive. Our FDD tools are able to integrate with the most popular BAS, SCADA, PLC and other systems used to monitor equipment conditions.
