Remote Condition Monitoring

Keeping you factories running 24/7 with a skeleton maintenance team is no easy task but proven technology and Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) is here to help.

Industrial Internet of Things (IIOT) solutions from Powelectrics are getting used more and more for Remote Condition Monitoring (RCM), helping our clients get an early indication of asset failure. By taking signals from sensors and transmitting them by various methods we can give users the ability to view the data securely via web browsers, collect the data via API’s and receive email alarms.

Sensors are low in cost and easy to fit and using devices such our Powelectrics Metrons this data is made available remotely through secure platforms. This cost effective approach enables assets to be monitored in 'real time' between periodic inspections and opens up the application of Remote Condition Monitoring and Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) to assets that have perhaps not justified the expense previously incurred.

Measurements such as temperature and ‘average vibration,’ when monitored over a period of time act as a guide. Its then possible to understand the data - for example we can look for upward trends in the temperature when the device is running. Alarms can be sent, historical data viewed and issues avoided by implementing Planned Preventative Maintenance (PPM) based on the data.
