Condition Monitoring in Technical Processes

Condition monitoring is the process of monitoring condition in machinery, which allows an early detection of costly failures. The early detection of problems can help to plan and effectively apply downtime, material, and labour. Today, most systems are based on costly and complicated neuronal networks which both require training and show limited results. This invention saves costs by improving reliability, extending service life, and diminishing energy consumption of machines and installations. The uniqueness of this method, is the ability to acquire and assess the condition of machines and installations by proceeding from a normal condition and continuously observing short-term, medium-term and long-term changes. The system can detect and report the threat of total failures, and enable condition-oriented maintenance. Small changes in temperature can, for example, indicate a wearing out of bearings. These changes are difficult to measure as temperature values also are affected by service-associated influences like rotation speed, radial force and ambient temperature. However, this unique technology has the ability to separate changes associated with wear, corrosion, deposits and leaks from the service associated effects.
