What is meant by Machine Condition Monitoring?
"Machine condition monitoring" provides a real-time overview of the condition and performance of machines. It allows operators and maintenance teams to monitor the operational status of machines, detect potential issues early, and plan maintenance activities in a timely manner.
Typical Functions of Machine Condition Monitoring Software:
- Real-Time Monitoring: Continuous capture and display of machine data in real-time.
- Alarms and Notifications: Automatic notifications for deviations or critical conditions.
- Performance Analysis: Analysis of machine performance based on metrics such as utilization, production speed, and energy consumption.
- Historical Data: Recording and analysis of historical data on performance and maintenance history.
- Visualization: Graphical representation of machine conditions and data for quick analysis.
- Predictive Maintenance: Support for predictive maintenance by analyzing data and detecting wear and potential failures.
- Integration with IoT Devices: Integration of IoT devices and sensors for data capture and transmission.
- Reporting: Generation of reports on machine performance, maintenance intervals, and efficiency improvements.
