Wired or Wireles Condition Monitoring

Both wired and wireless condition monitoring are valuable tools to analyze equipment health, and both are collected under IMAnalytics common dashboard that you as a customer have access to 24/7. This consolidation enables users to have a clear overview of the equipment and the collected data, which in turn improves decision-making and efficiency.

IMAnalytics WirelessWireless

Wireless vibration measurement has become a trend within condition monitoring. This is a measurement that currently mainly targets less critical equipment. It enables quick data collection and provides an instant snapshot of the equipment’s health.

Wireless sensors are easy to install and are particularly useful for monitoring multiple smaller parts of the machinery simultaneously.

It is important to note that while wireless measurement provides valuable insights, it usually does not go as deep as wired measurement. It may be limited to identifying external deviations and tendencies.

Therefore, it can be useful for detecting problems before they turn into failures, but it may not necessarily reveal the deeper root causes of bearing failures or other complex problems.

  • Detection of deviations.
  • Easy installation / lower cost.
  • Good for less critical equipment.
  • Good for monitoring of multiple machines simultaneously.

Wired monitoring

IMAnalytics wired vibration monitoring system is the preferred method for more critical equipment. By using fixed cables and carefully placed sensors, we can inspect and analyze vibrations in detail. This method allows us to get to the root of problems and identify the underlying causes that can lead to bearing failures and other complex issues.

Wired measurement provides a high degree of precision and sensitivity and is ideal for conducting in-depth analysis and troubleshooting, especially for equipment where downtime would be costly or unsafe.

IMAnalytics wired measurement tool can measure multiple parameters such as increased power consumption, lubricant in bearings, pressure, and flow to provide a more comprehensive picture of the equipment. 

  • Collect in dept data for more comprehensive analyses.
  • Allows for root cause analyzes.
  • Suitable for critical equipment with costly downtime
  • Allows for additional measuring like power consumption, lubrication, pressure and flow.
