New family of products simplifies monitoring of equipment in factories and other industrial applications
They include two customisable and scalable systems that enable users to immediately begin capturing data from sensors by attaching them to existing manufacturing assets, such as conveyor systems, industrial fans, etc.
The core of each system is a compact, centralised monitoring gateway, which is placed on or near machine assets. The Asset Monitoring Gateway with “Snap ID” has a touchscreen display for local viewing of machine performance, can connect via wires up to 20 sensors, and monitors one or multiple nearby pieces of equipment. Facilities with many pieces of equipment can use the Asset Monitoring Gateway with “Banner Cloud ID”, which can receive data from up to 40 wireless sensor nodes spread across many assets.
Each system is designed to be deployed quickly without programming and has automatic recognition of compatible sensors or sensor nodes. These sensors and sensor nodes gather real-time measurements of current, pressure, temperature, vibration or other relevant variables.
Both monitoring gateways offer cellular or Ethernet connectivity and have customisable dashboards to provide global visibility into machine health and performance and deliver condition-based text and email alerts.
