Monitoring and diagnostics

...online measurement system - Optime and Smart Check

    Monitoring is in fact the means to improve and increase productivity, product quality and overall efficiency of manufacturing systems, significantly reducing maintenance costs and losses caused by deviations from optimal machine operating conditions.

    Predictive maintenance is a central component of modern maintenance strategies, and Schaeffler, as a global leader in technology and engineering, develops solutions innovative solutions to support industries in anticipating and preventing equipment failure.

  Monitoring systems developed by Schaefflersuch as OPTIME or FAG SmartCheck, are designed to provide detailed information about the condition of equipment. This information enables accurate and timely interventions, extending the life of critical components and optimizing the use of resources.

OPTIME system

    OPTIME provides continuous monitoring of equipment condition, detecting anomalies and faults early. This allows maintenance teams to plan interventions before faults lead to unplanned equipment downtime. The system uses compact wireless sensors that can be quickly installed on industrial equipment. These sensors collect data vibration and temperature data, which is periodically transmitted to a central gateway.

OPTIME can be expanded to monitor a large number of pieces of equipment, making it suitable for small installations as well as large industrial facilities. By preventing unplanned failures, the system contributes to increase operational safety. The OPTIME system is ideal for industries such as power generation, manufacturing, chemical, and many others, where keeping equipment in optimal working order is essential for efficient and cost-effective operations.

   In conclusion, OPTIME from Schaeffler is a modern and efficient solution for monitoring industrial equipment, helping companies to improve maintenance predictive maintenance and optimize the performance of their equipment.

SMART CHECK system

FAG SmartCheck is a modular, innovative and compact online measuring system for continuous machine monitoring and process parameters in a decentralized way.

FAG SmartCheck is suitable for early detection of bearing wear, imbalance or misalignment on:

  • electric motors and geared motors
  • vacuum and fluid pumps
  • fans
  • gearboxes and compressors
  • axes and machine tools
  • separators and decanters

   Smart Check's advantages include remote monitoring, data can be transferred to other locations where it can be analyzed by vibration experts. SmartCheck is a very simple and easy to use sensor. It is recommended to be mounted vertically and on flat surfaces.
