Preventive maintenance without expensive cabling

Preventive maintenance of machines secures no unscheduled maintenance activities. Delay due to process interruptions costs a lot of money.

The problem

Monitoring temperature on critical parts of machines can be difficult, as the process is not allowed to be interrupted.

The challenge

To check the temperature levels on certain machine parts:

To prevent unscheduled process interruptions.

To plan in advance service and maintenance activities.

Without interrupting the process.

What to check

On machines many different parameters can be measured to check its condition. One of the most important ones to measure is temperature. An example is to check the bearings temperature.

Solution

WiSensys in combination with non-contact temperature measurement is the ultimate solution to control, monitor and manage preventive maintenance of machines.

WiSensys uses wireless technology in combination with advanced measurement capabilities making real time monitoring of temperature possible in combination with infrared sensors and secures no process interruption.

The WiSensys system is also used to directly inform the maintenance manager in case temperature levels are above or below a predefined level, to prevent machine breakdowns via an alarm on mobile phones.

Diesel customer
Below a customer who monitors several temperature critical parts on a diesel engine to verify its condition.

The customer makes use of infrared sensors to measure and monitor the temperature process.

The infrared sensor is placed to be able to measure temperature of the critical part.

Customer feedback

We are now able to check and monitor online the temperature of our machine without interrupting the process or the measurement.

Before problems arise we are informed and can take preventive actions.
