Monitoring and diagnostics
...online measuring system - Optime and Smart Check
Monitoring systems are designed to improve and increase production line productivity, product quality and overall efficiency, significantly reducing maintenance costs and improving the quality of your products. costs and losses resulting from deviations from optimal machine operating conditions.
Predictive maintenance is at the heart of modern maintenance strategies and Schaeffler, as a global technology and engineering leader, is developing innovative solutions to support industries in predicting and preventing equipment failure.
Monitoring systems developed by Schaeffler , such as OPTIME or FAG SmartCheck, are designed to provide detailed information on the status of equipment. This information enables precise and timely intervention, extending the life of critical components and optimising the use of resources.
OPTIME system
The OPTIME system ensures continuous monitoring of the status of equipment, early detection of anomalies and faults. This allows maintenance teams to plan interventions before faults lead to unplanned equipment shutdowns. The system uses compact wireless sensors that can be quickly installed on industrial equipment. These sensors collect vibration and temperature data and transmit them regularly to a central gateway.
The OPTIME system can be expanded to monitor a large number of devices, making it suitable for small installations as well as large industrial facilities. The system contributes to safer operations by preventing unexpected breakdowns. The OPTIME system is ideal for industries such as power generation, manufacturing, chemicals, where where keeping equipment in optimal working order is critical to operational efficiency and cost-effectiveness.
In summary, Schaeffler OPTIME is a modern and efficient solution for monitoring industrial equipment, helping companies to improve preventive maintenance and optimize equipment performance.
SMART CHECK system
FAG SmartCheck is a modular, innovative and compact online measuring system for continuous machine monitoring and decentralised parameter processing.
FAG SmartCheck is able to detect wear, imbalance or misalignment of bearings early on in the following devices:
- electric motors and geared motors
- vacuum and liquid pumps
- fans
- gearboxes and compressors
- axles and machine tools
- separators
The benefits of Smart Check include remote monitoring: data can be transmitted to different locations where vibration experts can analyse it. SmartCheck is a very simple and easy-to-use detection tool. It is recommended to install it vertically and on a flat surface.
