To analyze peak orders over time, follow these steps:
- Collect the necessary data on peak orders, including the date and time of each order. This data may be available through your sales platform or order tracking system.
- Determine the time intervals you consider as peak periods. For example, you might define peak periods as weekdays from 12 pm to 2 pm and 6 pm to 8 pm, or weekends from 10 am to 1 pm.
- Group the orders based on your defined peak periods. Assign each order to the corresponding time interval.
- Count the number of orders within each peak period to determine the order count during each time interval. This will provide you with insights into the order volume during different peak periods.
- Create a visual representation of the order counts over time using a line chart, bar chart, or any other suitable graph. This will help you identify trends or patterns in peak order volumes.
- Analyze your visual representation by looking for trends, spikes, or changes in order counts during different peak periods. This analysis can assist you in understanding peak demand periods, optimizing staffing levels, or adjusting your business operations to meet customer needs more efficiently.
The frequency of data collection and the duration over which you analyze peak orders will depend on your business needs. Regularly reviewing and updating this analysis will help you make informed decisions to optimize your operations (see Figure 2) .
That's interesting to note that the amplitude of both orders increases as the rotational speed of the motor increases. It suggests a correlation between the motor speed and the order amplitudes.
Regarding the capability of "ordertrack" to separate crossing orders when multiple RPM signals are present, it highlights the usefulness of this function for analyzing complex signals.
By utilizing "ordertrack," you can process and analyze RPM signals, allowing you to separate and identify individual orders even in cases where there are multiple overlapping signals. This can be valuable for understanding the characteristics and behavior of the motor and its components.
To extract time-domain order waveforms for each peak order using the "orderwaveform" function and compare them to the original vibration signal, you can follow these steps:
1. Preprocess the Vibration Signal: If necessary, preprocess the original vibration signal by removing any noise or irrelevant frequencies. This step helps ensure accurate order waveform extraction.
2. Specify Peak Orders: Determine the two peak orders for which you want to extract order waveforms.
3. Use the "orderwaveform" Function: Utilize the "orderwaveform" function, passing in the original vibration signal, the specified peak orders, and any other necessary parameters. This function applies the Vold-Kalman filter to extract the order waveforms for the specified orders.
4. Compare Waveforms: Once you've extracted the order waveforms, you can compare them to the original signal. Plotting the waveforms separately or overlaying them on the original signal can help visualize any differences or similarities.
5. Playback as Audio: If desired, you can convert the extracted order waveforms into audio files and play them back to audibly experience the individual peak orders.
The specific implementation of "orderwaveform" may vary depending on the program or library you are using. Consult the documentation or resources specific to your chosen tool for more detailed instructions and examples (see figure 3).
