Wireless sensors can help discover maintenance issues before they happen by supplying real-time information, says John Bernet. Condition monitoring is the best way to proactively determine when machines need maintenance. Collecting real-time data on an asset's condition provides an accurate, up-to-date picture of asset health. Regardless of the type of asset, condition monitoring is the best solution to reduce unplanned downtime and production gaps. Machines monitored by wireless sensors can let a user know the machine needs to be inspected or maintained. When equipment is continuously monitored with wireless sensors, users are alerted to changes or deviations from the norm. Once installed, they monitor assets 24/7 and trigger alarms when conditions reach certain thresholds.
