Are you wondering what you should consider when choosing a condition monitoring / predictive maintenance solution? We have summarised the most important points in our slideshow, just click through or read the summary below:
1. The knowledge depth:
Low: display change of certain parameters (e.g. temperature)
Medium: display component damaged Yes/No
High: display remaining service life of components
2. The data collection method:
Permanently installed sensors
Measurement with mobile measuring device
Combination of permanent sensors and mobile measuring device
3. The depth of added value:
Proprietary development of the company
External service provider
"Best of both" approach
4. The time to report:
Realtime
24 hours
Several days/weeks
5. The data storage:
On site
Server of the service provider
Cloud
6. The data transmission:
Unencoded transmission
Encoded transmission
None (on site only)
7. The information content of the technology:
Low: temperature
Medium: vibrations
High: ultrasound
8. The universality of the technology:
Low: few use cases / strong focus, e.g. only rotating components
High: many areas of application, e.g. lubrication optimisation as an additional benefit of ultrasound
