The current state of machine health monitoring is rapidly advancing beyond legacy CbM (Condition Based Monitoring) toward PdM (Predictive Maintenance). PdM leverages advanced technologies such as AI, IoT, and sensor fusion to monitor the health of equipment in real-time, providing predictive insights that lead to reduced downtime and higher production output. According to recent reports, the market size for PdM is growing rapidly and is projected to reach USD +13 billion in 2025 with a CAGR (Compound Annual Growth Rate) of +35% over the next 5 years. This growth is fueled by advancements in technology, adoption of AI, and Industry 4.0 acceleration.

"When we decided to launch TDK SensEI mid-2024, edgeRX is exactly the type of innovative product that we envisioned the team bringing to market. We believe edgeRX marks a pivotal moment in the manufacturing industry as edgeRX is the perfect product to solve everyday maintenance related issues with easy to implement AI" stated Noboru Saito, President, and CEO of TDK Corporation.

"Maintaining optimal machine health is crucial in industrial manufacturing operations to keep maintenance costs low and production output high. AI is a crucial ingredient to achieve optimal machine health, however manufacturers have historically struggled to implement AI," said Sandeep Pandya, CEO, TDK SensEI, a TDK group company. "The edgeRX platform offers an out-of-the-box experience to solve the AI challenge and accelerate manufactures ability to achieve optimal machine health. Which is why we're so excited to announce edgeRX to the industrial world."

Glossary

• Edge Computing: A technology that processes data close to where it is generated (at the "edge" of the network), reducing latency and bandwidth usage compared to cloud computing
