Manufacturers in almost every industry vertical that extensively uses machines are now focused on adopting consistent and seamless manufacturing practices. They are keeping close tabs on the machines, monitoring its functionality consistently, limiting downtime and consequently, eliminating activities that aren’t profitable. Simply put, the lynchpin of modern day manufacturing is all about increasing capacity to boost profitability.
Herein, a number of technological innovations are making the monitoring of machines simpler, including smart sensors with advanced monitoring capabilities that enable early detection of machine failures. Sensors that detect a machine’s operational prowess play a vital role in not only reducing in-service failures, but also ensures that unscheduled downtimes are few and far between.
Real-time monitoring with wireless vibration sensors
While traditional permanent systems for monitoring industrial machine-driven assets incur high costs and suffer from complexities associated with running the necessary hardwiring for power and signal, the new hand-held portable monitoring strategy is simpler, non-resource intensive and durable. No wonder, vendors are keen to embrace this option.
Wireless sensors for condition monitoring are advantageous in terms of savings, as the installation of sensors in remote applications do not require the laying of cables and wires. The cabling cost is reduced to the maximum, which adds to the savings for the company. Apart from savings, wireless sensors generate enhancements in machinery processes through monitoring and rectifications at the earliest.
Wireless vibration sensors are extensively used in both on and off-site applications, which includes both accessible and isolated, and hazardous environments, owing to extreme conditions such as temperature, pressure, and harsh terrains.
In recent years, manufacturers have shown a massive interest in wireless solutions for condition monitoring. Machine monitoring solutions with wireless technology entails minimal infrastructure inputs and no servers or wired setup – just wireless sensors. The wireless vibrating sensors are proficient at attaching to any machinery asset including motors, rollers, conveyors, bearings, gear boxes, and pumps.
Predictive maintenance and condition monitoring systems utilize the advances in sensor technology and the affordability which smart sensors have brought to the market, and thus are more relevant than ever before. The recent introduction of low-cost and powerful wireless vibration monitoring sensors applies to a wide array of situations, resulting in massive adoption and growth in the machine condition monitoring sensors.
