Schaeffler provides comprehensive condition monitoring solutions with cutting edge technology

In many production facilities' plant assets and supply systems are not subject to comprehensive and regular monitoring using modern condition monitoring tools. In most cases, comprehensive condition monitoring is not considered at all.

The top three reasons why companies have never, or rarely use condition monitoring systems are: firstly, as it requires additional knowledge, secondly the perception of high maintenance effort and finally the high costs. Despite the obstacles new technologies have been developed for various industries that enable cost-effective, wireless, comprehensive vibration-based condition monitoring on an automated basis.

For example, Schaeffler Optime condition monitoring makes it possible to monitor a vast percentage of machines every minute, therefore reducing the probability of impending damage going undetected. With no prior training required, you can easily understand machine status updates, which can be viewed on the mobile app and web-based dashboard and take appropriate corrective action.

Whilst there isn't a single technology for comprehensive monitoring, Optime condition monitoring, alongside several technologies highlighted in the Schaeffler Whitepaper, can make comprehensive and economic condition monitoring possible.
