In one embodiment, a condition monitoring circuit can include a circuit controller and a node. The node can include a gate controller, a node controller and one or more gates. The node can be configured to detachably couple to a bus of a monitoring system associated with an industrial machine. The circuit controller can be configured to identify an operating parameter associated with the industrial machine. The gate controller can be configured to transfer, via the one or more gates, one or more data packets including data characterizing the operating parameter from the bus in the monitoring system. The one or more gates can be configured to prevent transfer of an outgoing data packet to the bus via the node.

A three-dimensional shaping apparatus includes a plasticizing section that includes a drive motor, a heater, and a screw rotated by the drive motor and that plasticizes a material to form a shaping material, an ejection section that ejects the shaping material toward a stage, a moving mechanism section that changes a relative position of the ejection section to the stage, a prediction section that predicts a residual service life of the heater from an observation result of a state observation section that observes a state of the heater, and a control unit that controls the plasticizing section and the moving mechanism section to shape a three-dimensional shaped article. The control unit has a first mode in which a temperature of the heater is set to a first temperature and a second mode in which the temperature of the heater is set to a temperature lower than the first temperature, and shapes the three-dimensional shaped article in the first mode when a first residual service life when the temperature of the heater is set to the first temperature exceeds a first value, and shapes the three-dimensional shaped article in the second mode when the first residual service life is equal to or less than the first value.

A system and method for facilitating predictive maintenance of an equipment is disclosed. The system may include a data capturer, a plurality of edge computing nodes and a cloud computing device. Each edge computing node may include a first processor. The cloud computing device may include a second processor. The first processor may receive the raw input data from the data capturer and may process the raw input data to obtain a representative data. The representative data may include an insight pertaining to a deviation in the at least one variable and a corresponding remedial action to be taken to correct the deviation. The deviation may be related to a deterioration in the condition of the equipment. The respective edge computing node may facilitate a regulation of the deviation by performing an automated actuation based on the corresponding remedial action.
