PROGNOST®-Wireless

Wireless Monitoring System

Do you monitor less critical machines?
Are they part of your maintenance strategy?

2
Challenge
 Due to cost intensive installation, machine protection or
condition monitoring systems are often only used for
process-critical machines
 Most less process-critical assets (such as pumps,
compressors, fans and motors, etc.) are monitored with
handheld device
 Handheld devices and subsequent analyses of collected
data are labor-intensive

3
Solution for the challenge
 Wireless monitoring systems offer a great advantage to any
offline measurements, such as
 More effective monitoring instead of handheld
measurements
 Integration of process values for improved analysis
