Machine Sentry® – Web Hosted Condition Monitoring
A powerful non-invasive system to monitor the condition of your equipment, providing valuable data and insights that can be accessed anywhere.
What is Machine Sentry?
A powerful non-invasive system to monitor the condition of your equipment, providing valuable data and insights that can be accessed anywhere. For the ultimate solution in reliability management, Machine Sentry® integrates operation, condition and maintenance data in a web-hosted system. Many different parameters, such as visual inspection, vibration analysis, thermal imaging and lubrication management are tracked in this one database, providing a complete view of all maintenance and performance operations on site, that can be visualised through the cloud based service platform anywhere at the click of a button.
Efficiency, reliability and safety are three key factors for the successful management of any plant or asset. It is therefore necessary to monitor the condition of your equipment so it can be appropriately maintained for optimal performance.
The data collected is analysed by ADA™, our Automated Diagnostic Assistant. Using algorithms developed by AVT Reliability® experts, ADA™ can predict stage 2,3 and 4 bearing failure and detect a range of other common fault conditions such as looseness and imbalance. The speed and powerful analysis capability of Machine Sentry® gives you a complete picture of your asset health and enables you to make informed decisions quickly.
Being cloud based means that AVT Reliability® expert engineers are always available to assist and advise using Machine Sentry® data and insights. You can opt to have them manage your condition monitoring system remotely for you, or use your own trained staff to analyse and interpret the data.
Machine Sentry® products
Machine Sentry® has various condition monitoring solutions and is flexible enough for you to choose what works best for the location of your plant and the applications required. You can choose whether measurements will be made semi-continuously, permanently or as needed, using a handheld device.
Machine Sentry® Software
Machine Sentry® software is a powerful web-enabled condition-monitoring system that collates condition-monitoring data from multiple sources in one platform.
The software can be used at all stages of the reliability journey, from database build, data collection, data analysis through to management report generation.
Machine Sentry® Mobile (MSM-2)
Machine Sentry® Mobile is a vibration and temperature sensor that connects to the Machine Sentry Software running on an Android Device via Bluetooth. It can be used for route mode monitoring of vibration in pumps, fans, gearboxes, motors and many other equipment types.
Machine Sentry® Fixed (MSF-2)
Machine Sentry® Fixed is a vibration and temperature sensor. It consists of a 3 channel multiplexed data acquisition system connected to a tri-axial sensor. It can either be permanently mounted or temporarily installed for semi-continuous or continuous monitoring. The Machine Sentry® MSF- 2 sensor can be paired to a handheld device to connect data to the Machine Sentry® software or can connect via Machine Sentry® Gateway.
Machine Sentry® Gateway
The Machine Sentry® Gateway is a Bluetooth® device which connects Machine Sentry® MSF sensors with your Machine Sentry® database, creating an industrial IOT System for your condition monitoring programme. Up to 100 Machine Sentry® Bluetooth® sensors can be connected through the Gateway to collect valuable vibration and temperature data from pumps, fans, motors, bearings and more.
Machine Sentry® Online MSO
Machine Sentry® Online MSO is a vibration and process sensor. As part of a condition based maintenance system, Machine Sentry® Online MSO automatically detects the state of machinery and sends data to a web enabled platform for analysis.
Implementation of Machine Sentry®
All Machine Sentry® programs include the same core capabilities. However, different options are available for online condition monitoring of your plant and machinery allowing the flexibility for you to choose what works best for your requirements.
Implementation can be done by AVT, yourselves or any combination of the two depending on your requirements and capabilities. Expert AVT Reliability® condition monitoring engineers can build and configure your database with suitable measurement intervals and parameters.
TrainingAVT can provide training at all levels to support your reliability journey. From basic condition based monitoring (CBM) awareness training through to Vibration Analysis Level 4 all apects of training can be provided, either onsite or via our public courses. |
