Easily integrate the power of vibration sensors for condition based monitoring

Industry has long had issues with failure of critical or important equipment and assets. It can have an expensive knock on effect with production or manufacturing, and even the lowest cost parts can cost huge sums of money or time in lost revenues or shut downs.

A very easy and low cost solution to this is condition based monitoring (or CBM as it is referred to) which offers a much more proactive approach to predictive maintenance and shutdowns.

• Real time monitoring through the use of intelligent IoT based wireless sensors allows for immediate and continual data collection of the performance and condition of vital assets. Monitoring vibration, temperature, pressure and other vital statistics of moving parts create a picture of the overall health of the asset.  
• The data can be processed on the edge to harness the power of AI (artificial intelligence) and ML (machine learning), driving down operational costs and downtime. Early fault detection, and planned replacement parts and maintenance are possible when monitoring machinery, motors, pumps and more.
• Run digital twins and collate data over time to really understand where and how failures occur across your operation to create cost reduction and increased efficiency. 

The devices can be wired, wireless or even battery driven (fear not, we monitor the battery health of each sensor too) which is perfect for moving parts or equipment and this also allows sensors to be placed almost anywhere, quickly and easily. Once sited they begin to communicate back information that can be analysed on the edge and then pushed up to an IoT software (or just pushed up to the software for processing). Reporting and analysis is made easy by the IoT software dashboards with data normalisation, min/max alerts or alarms and immediate notifications (push, SMS or email) sent to single users or groups. The power of the IoT in your hands is a potent weapon in managing your organisation and once in place can be used for other valuable processes such as using vision cameras to count manual tasks or understanding space utilisation across a site. Use the same infrastructure to add smart lighting, access control, asset tracking and more with each extra use case becoming even more cost effective. Even add virtual assets such as a weather app to bring in ongoing data that might have an effect on conditions or output. 

The ability to proactively manage your assets now and into the future is an important and valuable tool the IoT can master in manufacturing and process control of any size or complexity. See it all in once single pane of glass view, regardless of the solution, process or application.
