Abstract: A method for predictive maintenance of a device based on temperature monitoring involves creating (P1) a digital twin of the device. The method includes determining (S1) a virtual ambient temperature, VAT, by recording ambient and device temperatures when the device is not in operation, creating a model to reproduce the variation of device temperature based on ambient temperature, and calculating (S2) a relative device temperature, RDT. The method further includes calculating (S3) an additional temperature variation, DTVA, due to the device's operation, recording operational data, and training (S4) the digital twin with this data. The digital twin predicts (S5) temperature increases based on operational data, and the method predicts device temperature by adding VAT to the predicted increase. Abnormal temperatures are detected (S6) by comparing predicted and actual temperatures, identifying deviations that exceed a predefined threshold.

Abstract: A method for operating a hoisting appliance spanning a hoisting area, the hoisting appliance including N?2 movable parts for the transport of a load from a starting point to a destination point, the N movable parts being configured for a linear movement along any of three X, Y and Z orthogonal axes or for an angular movement. The method includes choosing speed parameters for displacement of the N movable parts for transporting the load from the starting point to the destination point, by, in a control device: determining a set of speed parameters for displacement of the N movable parts belonging to an operating zone for which a predictive maintenance function of the hosting appliance yields results which are above a determined accuracy threshold; and selecting, among the set, speed parameters which minimize a travel time of the load from the starting point to the destination point.
