Machine Health

The concept of machine health refers to the overall condition of a machine in terms of operational efficiency, reliability, and ability to function without failures or malfunctions. It is assessed through parameters such as vibrations, temperature, noise, and energy consumption.

Machine Health is a critical indicator for production continuity, as it enables real-time detection of wear signs or operational inefficiencies. Sensors installed on pumps, compressors, CNCs, and other auxiliary machinery monitor parameters like vibration, temperature, and pressure.

Leveraging IoT & AI technologies, Condition Monitoring processes provide in-depth insights into machine health, allowing for reduced machine downtime, improved operational efficiency, and extended equipment lifespan.

Tips for verifying Machine Health

Leverage vibration analysis to detect early wear signs

Anomalous vibrations are often the first indicators of issues in critical machines like pumps and compressors. Integrate high-sensitivity vibration sensors in strategic points, such as bearings or motors, to track micro-changes in mechanical behavior, which may indicate wear or misalignments.

Integrate current sensors to monitor electrical load and optimize efficiency

Monitoring energy consumption through current probes can provide real-time insights into machine health. An unexpected increase in electrical load might indicate internal friction, failing components, or the need for maintenance. The data can then be processed through AI systems to uncover hidden trends and suggest strategies for optimizing energy and operational efficiency.

Use real-time data to improve maintenance planning

Implementing monitoring solutions on critical production machinery like CNCs and HVAC systems enables the collection of real-time data, not only on production trends but also on the health of the machine. These data assist operators in maintenance planning, avoiding unplanned downtimes and enhancing overall system productivity.
