mechanical wear and tear sensors-Boon for Machines

A new type of wireless sensor has been developed by the scientists at The University of Manchester. this sensor will be able to remotely monitor mechanical parts and systems. the merit of this sensor is that it can be seamlessly fitted inside  motors, wheel bearings, gearboxes, diesel engines and door mechanisms, in which faults can occur.
Once the sensors are fitted, they would be enable to check the health of the parts to be remotely monitored by computers which would then use the data to predict which parts require maintenance or need replacing - before they actually fail.

This could lead to a new scenario in the workshop of the mechanical industries wih no failure and zero accidents due to it. Also, it would schedule the time when the parts require maintainance like lubrication, change of parts, etc. Thus will help in in proper scheduling and production in the workshop.
