FAQ
Is there a simple condition monitoring solution for industrial machines?
Yes, the DATAEAGLE Condition Monitoring System from Schildknecht AG is quick and easy to install in line with the motto ‘IoT-ready-to-use’.
We have specially designed our systems to be flexible and easy to use. For example, no integration is necessary and the multi-sensor can be easily attached to the machine thanks to the magnets. To keep the installation effort low, the gateway uses wireless communication, such as mobile radio, to send the status data to a cloud portal.
You can attach the multi-sensor directly to the motor or machine to be monitored. It transmits the data via Bluetooth Low Energy to the DATAEAGLE 2730 IoT Gateway, which can receive data from up to 8 sensors simultaneously. On the gateway, the data is pre-processed, e.g.: Alarms are detected, and then sent via a wireless 3G/4G connection to the cloud, where they are stored and available for visualisation and analysis in the DATAEAGLE portal.
The DATAEAGLE Cloud Portal contains a customisable dashboard that provides an overview of the incoming sensor data. Here you can analyse the data, if necessary with free support from our experts. Depending on the use case, you can set different intervals for the transmission of sensor data to the cloud or set alarms for individual sensors.
What is Condition Monitoring?
Condition monitoring is the regular or permanent recording of the condition of a machine by measuring and analysing physical variables, e.g. vibrations of a motor, temperatures, or moisture on machine parts. The aim is to increase productivity through predictive maintenance and thus prevent machine failures and plant downtimes
How can I implement condition monitoring?
The DATAEAGLE Condition Monitoring System from Schildknecht AG consists of a small multi-sensor for harsh industrial environments (CISS), a globally deployable IoT gateway (DATAEAGLE 2730) with an integrated eSIM card, and a cloud dashboard (DATAEAGLE Portal). The robust multi-sensor can be mounted directly on the motor or the machine and transmits the data via Bluetooth Low Energy to the central IoT gateway DATAEAGLE 2730. The values are pre-processed in the gateway before they’re transmitted to the cloud portal at intervals where they are stored. The sensor values are analysed and further processed in the online portal. In the next step, alarms can then be set and gradually enable predictive maintenance.
