Introduction to the Condition Monitoring module

Condition Monitoring is used to ensure efficient operations and prevent potential issues before they become critical. It includes continuous monitoring of machine data, such as measurements, events, and counters, displayed through intuitive charts for easy analysis. By evaluating this data, Condition Monitoring allows users to set specific rules and automatically trigger actions, such as maintenance tasks and notifications when deviations occur.

Key features

Monitor:
- Continuously observe machine measurements, events, and counters.
- Provide real-time data into charts, to monitor the state of machinery.
- Display historic data in intuitive charts for easy analysis.
- Display additional information about machines like party id, part type and state of produces parts.
- Visualize limits and thresholds for machine data.
- Create own custom views to visualize machine data.
Detect:
- Apply rules to identify anomalies in machine behavior.
- Spot potential issues early and raise events for immediate attention.
- Define various conditions and preconditions to trigger alerts.
Handle:
- Automatically initiate actions based on detected deviations.
- Manage deviations through timely interventions, including maintenance activities to archive preventive maintenance use cases.

Condition Monitoring is an essential part of the Deviation Management process, ensuring that any deviations from expected machine performance are addressed, enhancing overall operational efficiency and reducing downtime.

Condition Monitoring has two types of deployment. Either Rules Light or Rules Extended can be installed.
Rules Extended has the following functions in addition to Rules Light :

Additional rules (external functions) can be added.
- Process capability index, jump detection, trend (method of least squares, time-based or normalized), trend.
The Aggregation Type and the Source can be changed in the rules.
It’s also possible to define conditions bases on Time Range area in the rules.
