All in One Device
Monitor Multiple Parameters
Machine Vitals is designed to monitor and analyze the health of industrial machinery, particularly those with rotating components like pumps, fans, gearboxes, and hydraulic units. It uses a set of advanced sensors to collect data on various parameters, such as pressure, temperature, and relative humidity, internally and externally. It also includes an acceleratory variance and an acoustic sensor.
Ambient and Equipment Temperatures: Tracks both external and internal temperatures to gauge environmental impact and equipment overheating.
Environmental and Internal Relative Humidity Levels: Assesses moisture levels surrounding and inside the machinery, crucial for maintaining optimal operational conditions.
Atmospheric and Equipment Pressure: Monitors pressure levels to detect anomalies that could indicate leaks or system breaches.
Acoustic Analysis: Uses acoustic monitoring to identify deviations from normal operational sounds that might indicate malfunctions.
Acceleratory Variance: Detects unusual vibrations that often precede mechanical failures.
The Power of Machine Vitals
A Multi-Parameter Approach for Early Detection and Proactive Maintenance
By measuring multiple parameters, Machine VitalsTM provides a comprehensive understanding of your equipment's condition. This provides:
- Holistic Understanding: By measuring multiple parameters, Machine Vitals provides a comprehensive view of your equipment's condition. These parameters are interrelated and monitoring them collectively allows for a holistic understanding of equipment performance.
- Early Detection of Issues: By analyzing variations in temperature, humidity, pressure, acoustics, and acceleration, Machine Vitals can detect early signs of abnormalities, allowing you to take preventive action. Early detection enables you to address issues before they cause significant downtime, costly repairs, or safety hazards.
- Discovering Hidden Problems: Some issues may not be apparent through conventional analyses or routine inspections. The combination of various parameters measured by Machine Vitals can uncover hidden problems that may not be known through traditional monitoring or oil analysis alone.
Understanding the importance of these parameters and their interplay allows you to take a proactive approach to maintenance, optimize performance, and ensure the long-term reliability of your equipment.
