OPTIME Condition Monitoring

The wireless vibration monitoring sensors are attached to each machine using screws or adhesive and activated using NFC.

All sensors connect automatically to each other and the gateway. Together they form a mesh network, which is amongst the most reliable and energy efficient IoT networks available today.

The wireless condition monitoring system can be expanded with additional vibration sensors at any time.

The OPTIME Mobile App displays trends and, using a multi-stage warning system, provides a visual representation of the severity of potential incidents.

In an emergency, it can sound an alarm and present additional information.

The exceptionally intuitive app also offers a comprehensive array of tools that make it the perfect wireless condition monitoring solution for everyone – from beginners to experts. Depending on the user’s requirements, the monitored machines can be organized into groups. The operational status of these machines can then be displayed in a variety of user-specific formats.

The wireless condition monitoring system detects malfunctions weeks in advance and provides information on the root causes. This works with continuous automatic analyses based on Schaeffler’s extensive rolling bearing expertise, condition monitoring know-how and machine learning algorithms.

This is how OPTIME Condition Monitoring makes planning maintenance measures, identifying manpower requirements, and procuring spare parts quick, easy and cost-effective.
