    Proven applications for Condition Monitoring

    Moisture measurement in Condition Monitoring

    18 Solution Examples

    Humidity measurement captures ambient conditions in the form of relative humidity and its changes over defined time periods. It is used to monitor air conditions even in hard-to-reach or non-visible locations.

    Vibration Monitoring in Condition Monitoring

    29 Solution Examples

    Precise diagnostics through vibration analysis. Monitoring bearings or heat treatment furnaces provides early warning signals for temperature deviations or mechanical irregularities. This ensures production quality and prevents damage.

    Fluctuations in gas flow in Condition Monitoring

    An unstable gas flow can significantly affect the quality of coating or melting processes, for example. IoT-based monitoring systems analyze gas pressure and flow in real time and regulate them dynamically to ensure uniform material distribution and optimal process conditions.

    Leak Detection in Condition Monitoring

    19 Solution Examples

    Leakage Detection (Air) Sensors detect air leaks in compressed air systems and machinery. Continuous monitoring enables the localization of losses and the initiation of targeted corrective measures. Leakage Detection (Gas) Sensors identify gas leaks in pipelines and systems. Permanent monitoring supports safe operation and reduces unplanned downtime. Leakage Detection (Water) Sensors detect water escaping from systems and pipelines. Deviations in water flow are identified early to prevent damage and downtime.

    Break detection in Condition Monitoring

    7 Solution Examples

    Detect damage before it gets costly. Breaks or cable stress occur unexpectedly – with serious consequences for production and asset availability. Condition monitoring systems for break detection continuously monitor critical movements and report the smallest deviations in real time. This prevents consequential damage and enables targeted maintenance planning.

    Tension/Thrust Monitoring in Condition Monitoring

    9 Solution Examples

    Digital systems for tension and thrust force monitoring detect mechanical anomalies early to prevent downtime and damage. Integrated into machine controls, they enable immediate responses, protecting processes and assets.

    Bolt monitoring in Condition Monitoring

    1 Solution Example

    Making hidden problems visible. Sensors monitor cables and bolts for wear or defects. Problems are identified in time before they cause greater damage, which increases operational safety.

    Emissions Monitoring (Gas / Fluids) in Condition Monitoring

    Sensor technology for gas and pollutant detection (e.g. CO₂, NOx, CH₄, VOC)

    Filter monitoring in Condition Monitoring

    9 Solution Examples

    Efficient maintenance of filter systems. By monitoring pump and fan systems, maintenance events can be predicted and optimized. Sensors capture the status of filter mats or wear data, enabling proactive planning of service interventions.

    Level and Distance Measurement in Condition Monitoring

    16 Solution Examples

    Efficiency in warehouse and production. Real-time monitoring of fill levels in tanks or silos enables precise control of production processes. Automatic notifications facilitate reordering and prevent overflows or bottlenecks.

    Remote reading in Condition Monitoring

    36 Solution Examples

    Centralized collection of distributed measurement and status data. Remote reading enables the automated retrieval of operational, status, and consumption data from systems and infrastructure without manual on-site reading.

    Cable and Chain Monitoring in Condition Monitoring

    Cable and chain monitoring detects breaks, abrasion, and structural changes in cables and chain links based on movement anomalies and physical measurements. Parameters monitored include tensile and compressive forces, bending radii, insulation resistance, temperature, current, and vibration events.

    Acoustic monitoring in Condition Monitoring

    5 Solution Examples

    Detecting anomalies through noise patterns. Acoustic sensors diagnose wear and malfunctions in machines based on sound patterns. This precise method reduces unplanned downtime and ensures efficient maintenance planning.

    Tool wear

    6 Solution Examples

    Tool wear leads to quality fluctuations and increased scrap in many operations. Many companies use vibration and force sensors that capture wear conditions in real time and enable timely replacement.

    Early detection of damage in Condition Monitoring

    60 Solution Examples

    With modern sensor technology and smart data analysis, you can detect damage before it escalates. Whether it involves leaks in water pipes, overheating in electrical systems, or mechanical wear – continuous monitoring makes it possible to identify problems early and take targeted action. This not only saves costs but also protects your assets and infrastructure in the long term.

    Groundwater level measurement in Condition Monitoring

    2 Solution Examples

    Precise level measurement without maintenance effort! Battery-powered sensors automatically record groundwater levels, for example – even in hard-to-reach areas. The maintenance-free technology enables efficient and reliable data collection.

    Temperature measurement in Condition Monitoring

    53 Solution Examples

    Digital temperature monitoring for extreme conditions! In our network, we implement IoT-based temperature measurements for steam pipelines – using e.g. LoRaWAN or mioty® sensors that capture temperatures and operate maintenance-free for over 10 years.

    Track cycle times, utilization, and throughput

    45 Solution Examples

    Transparency over production performance and runtimes. By capturing pulse counts, cycle times, utilization, and throughput directly at the machine, production processes become continuously measurable. The resulting data provides a reliable basis for analyzing runtimes, downtimes, and performance deviations of individual assets or production lines.

    Benefits of Condition Monitoring

    Concrete benefits this use case offers for your business.

    Early Problem Detection

    Condition Monitoring detects anomalies such as vibrations, overheating or pressure fluctuations in real time. Problems are identified before they escalate, avoiding costly repairs and unexpected downtime.

    Reduction of Energy Consumption

    Through continuous monitoring of machines, inefficient processes can be identified and corrected. This leads not only to cost savings but also to a significant reduction in energy consumption and CO₂ emissions.

    Extension of Machine Lifespan

    Through continuous monitoring of wear parts and critical components, targeted measures can be initiated. This extends the lifespan of your machines and reduces long-term investment costs.

    Higher Customer Satisfaction

    Companies that use Condition Monitoring consistently deliver high quality and reliable products. This not only strengthens customer loyalty but also positions the brand as a trusted provider in the market.

    Cost Control

    Condition Monitoring not only reduces unplanned downtime and repair costs, but also ensures faster return on investment through optimised processes.

    Improved Resource Planning

    With Condition Monitoring, companies can plan the use of machines, personnel and materials more efficiently. Resource waste is minimised and production processes run more smoothly.

    Optimisation of Maintenance Strategy

    Instead of rigid maintenance schedules, Condition Monitoring enables a predictive approach. Maintenance is planned based on real-time data, so measures are only taken when they are truly necessary.

    Increase in Operational Efficiency

    Condition Monitoring helps to identify and optimise inefficient processes. This allows energy consumption and resource waste to be minimised and production performance to be sustainably increased.
