Life Cycle Monitoring and Predictive Maintenance

Life Cycle Monitoring and Predictive Maintenance

Are you monitoring your machinery for predictive maintenance? Do you know how often your machinery is running and if it is running within its correct specifications? Deviations from specified parameters in vibration or temperature, if left unchecked, can cause expensive repairs and downtime.

Machines such as motors, pumps, compressors and boilers, when run frequently, have the potential for worn out parts which can cause failures to occur. The main value of life cycle monitoring and predictive maintenance is to allow convenient scheduling of corrective maintenance, and to prevent unexpected equipment failures. The key is "the right information at the right time". By monitoring equipment parameters, you can understand how your equipment is running, and plan for maintenance accordingly, avoiding unplanned downtime.

Using Monnit WIT Wireless Sensors for conditional monitoring allows maintenance to be scheduled, or other actions to be taken to avoid the consequences of failure, before the failure occurs. We recommend using Monnit's affordable wireless temperature sensors, activity sensors, accelerometers and pressure sensors to monitor the different parameters of your machinery. There are no wires to worry about, and the setup process is amazingly simple.

Avoiding Frozen Water Pipes and Leaks in the Winter Months

Frozen Pipes

This past month we have been receiving a lot of calls requesting our wireless temperature and water sensors for use in both commercial and residential properties to help minimize the potential for damage due to frozen water pipes.

Did you know that when water freezes it expands putting pressure on pipes, valves, tubing, and hoses. The result is often costly and very time consuming to fix. In a matter of minutes a one-eighth inch crack can release 250 gallons of water and disrupt your life in ways you never imagined. It is always smart to insulate pipes that are exposed and where possible, turn off water lines and drain pipes that are not in use. However, these precautions are not always feasible and do not always work.

So, how can you make sure that your pipes don't reach freezing temperature? How can you know if there has been a water pipe break? Using Monnit's affordable wireless temperature sensors and wireless water sensors allows you to monitor the temperatures of your water pipes and know immediately if there is a broken pipe leaking. Place these sensors in your basement, attic, crawl spaces or even outdoor areas to know exactly what the temperature is. There are no wires to worry about, and the setup process is amazingly simple. « View More Information.

Enjoy the winter season without worrying about the potential damage of broken water pipes.
