What is Online Monitoring? Online monitoring is the process of utilizing permanently mounted sensors to regularly check the condition of a machine. Online monitoring should consist of more than just vibration sensors. Given there are many different failure modes it is best to utilize a variety of sensor types to monitor the necessary variable to

As wireless sensor technology begins to take the leading edge within the industrial internet of things community, a new era of data security has emerged that requires diligent thought and consideration on the part of end users, system integrators, and key stakeholders. Critical machine health and process data being transmitted wirelessly and hosted internally as well

Rotor balancing is a critical aspect of rotating machinery, integral to numerous sectors including power generation, transportation, manufacturing, and healthcare. The rotor, which is the central component that rotates at high speeds, must be properly balanced to prevent vibrations that can cause a range of issues, adversely affecting performance, durability, and safety. This article explores

Cooling towers are frequent choices for vibration monitoring due to their often-critical role in maintaining operational efficiencies. Vibration analysis can be used to improve reliability and extend the lifetime of cooling tower equipment. While cooling towers range from small single-cell units to large multi-cell configurations, any configuration that employs the use of rotating parts requires

Predictive maintenance refers to a forward-thinking approach that leverages technology to assess the real-time condition of machinery and equipment. By anticipating potential failures, this strategy enables timely repairs before issues arise. Machines are equipped with sensors that gather critical data, including temperature, vibrations, and acoustic signals. This information is processed through specialized software designed to

In the   past, ships   had   large   crews   with   a   fair   proportion   of   them   being   engineers   and   technicians whose   job   it   was   to   keep   everything   running. They did   this   by spending much of their   time   on   board ship   busily stripping   down   and   reassembling   all   the   various   items   of the ship’s   machinery. Basically, implementing a   system   of Planned Periodic Maintenance (PPM) in an attempt to   avoid costly breakdowns. However, not   only is   this approach needlessly   costly, due   to   the time   wasted stripping   down perfectly   functioning   machinery, it can actually make matters
