Eliminate unplanned downtime due to equipment failures

Availability losses include unplanned stops, such as equipment failures, and planned stops such as machine setup and recipe changeover time. Use real-time maintenance (RTM) technologies in your production plants to increase machine availability, ensuring throughput and minimizing material losses.

moneo is an Industry 4.0 software platform. The integrated algorithms enable predictive maintenance for many critical industrial machines and convert your sensor data into valuable insights. Receive notifications prior to a machine failure, so you can plan preventive maintenance work in advance.

Predict common fault conditions

Effects (crashes)

  • Hitting rotor blades
  • Ingested object / collision with moving object
  • Incorrect sequence timing

Friction

  • Bearing failure
  • Impeller rubbing/rotor blade dragging
  • Cavitation

Mechanical fatigue

  • Misalignment/ unbalance
  • Belt issues
  • Loose foundations/structural problems

Temperature (overheating)

  • Loss of lubricant or coolant flow
  • Electrical issues or excessive load

Components Description


VVB vibration sensors

Vibration is the most important measure of mechanical condition

  • Excessive vibration indicates defects in the design of the device.
  • Excessive vibration indicates mechanical problems.
  • Think of excessive vibration as energy loss suffered by the compressor while doing its job.


TS RTDs and TR temperature sensors

Temperature is another indicator of energy loss

  • It indicates increased machine working rate.
  • Excessive heat indicates overload, mechanical friction, electrical problems, or loss of lubricant/coolant.



IO-Link master

Data acquisition via IO-Link for standard PLC controller or data transfer to OT/IT systems

  • Automatic device replacement to minimize the need for on-site parameter setting
  • Fast and accurate measurements for maximum process control
  • No scaling required for IO-Link sensors



moneo edgeGateway

Cloud connection for all IO-Link masters and vibration controllers

  • Recording of up to 500 process values
  • Remote control, alarms, and visualizations
  • Functions include configuration, data collection, and condition monitoring
