Use Cases Equipment & Machinery Machine Condition Monitoring

	Machine Condition Monitoring

Overview	Machine condition monitoring is the process of monitoring parameters such as vibration and temperature in order to identify changes that indicate a reduction in performance or impending fault. It is a necessary component of Predictive Maintenance solutions and allows maintenance to be scheduled prior to failure, or other actions to be taken to prevent damages to the machine and loss of production. Condition monitoring also provides value beyond improving maintenance schedules. For example, improved visibility into machine operations can indicate the root causes of product defects and can support optimization of energy consumption. Read More

	CONDITION MONITORING Parker wanted the ability to apply a common cloud-based remote monitoring platform across many applications. Compressed air can be expensive and inefficient, so Parker’s innovative Transair piping system was chosen as the initial host product. Parker had a unique chance to create a solution that would help facility managers understand their compressed air systems’ key performance so that they could efficiently manage and optimize this critical system.
	Wireless Vibratory Data Acquisition System for Maintenance In the framework of its predictive maintenance offering, ONEPROD part of the ACOEM group provides monitoring solutions that allow to avoid unexpected breakdowns in industrial production tools. Traditionally ONEPROD was using wired data acquisition systems. However they were costly and hard to install in harsh environments or explosive zones, like in the oil & gas and mining industry. To cover the distance to connect and power the monitoring equipment considerable lengths of cable are required especially in industrial spaces with difficult access. Developing a wireless data acquisition system became a key success factor in the ONEPROD strategy in order to avoid any cabling issue and to improve the safety of the staff in charge of portable measures.
