Condition Monitoring
Motornostix condition monitoring system has been developed with the latest technology
The system is used to monitor machines and machinery in any environment with respect to vibration, temperature and electrical flux or other user-defined factors. The resultant data is collated on site and then, via the Internet, uploaded to a centrally based database. Sophisticated reporting tools analyse the data immediately and with the appropriate security the vital information can be accessed from anywhere in the world.
Motornostix Canary
Just as miners used a canary as an early warning signal of potentially lethal conditions in the mine, so the Canary used by Motornostix provides an early warning of deteriorating machinery. The Canary is a non-invasive data acquisition hardware unit that is mounted on the machinery to be monitored. The sensors are epoxy-glued to the relevant places on the machinery. The Canary collects the data from the sensors. A computer on site called the scanner, which is connected to all the Canaries on the site via cable or radio link, interrogates the Canaries every minute. At pre-determined intervals the scanner connects to the central database via Internet connectivity and refreshes the data. The central database with its sophisticated reporting tools compares the data against its existing footprint of the machinery and reacts with an alarm if there has been significant change. Danger signals of possible machinery failure can be sent via SMS or email or telephone to the appropriate recipients anywhere in the world.
In the past condition monitoring was effected manually.
Critical factors were measured by hand with the resultant possibility of errors. The long lag time between inspections was problematic and there was no warning of developing problems.
