Know which machine is about to fail before it stops the line. Linesense Health watches vibration and temperature on motors, pumps, fans and gearboxes, and raises an alarm while there is still time to plan the repair.
A bearing doesn't fail in a moment. It gets worse in stages, and the first stage is visible in the vibration long before anyone can hear or feel it. Linesense looks for that first stage.
Wear and looseness change the vibration pattern. Your ears and hands can't tell yet. A sensor can.
Now the machine sounds rough or runs hot. A good technician notices, but the repair is already urgent.
The machine stops, often mid-shift, often with collateral damage. Spares and people are found in a hurry.
Illustration of a typical pattern, not a measurement. How early the first alert comes depends on the fault, the machine and its load. A pilot shows it on your own machines.
Overall vibration is graded into the four zones of ISO 20816. Everyone in maintenance can read a zone, and an auditor recognises it.
A new machine. Vibration of newly commissioned equipment normally falls here.
Acceptable. The machine can run for long periods without restriction.
Act soon. Not fit for long-term running. Plan the repair at the next convenient stop.
Damage is likely. Vibration is severe enough to harm the machine.
The limits between zones depend on machine class: size, speed and how the machine is mounted. A large pump and a small fan have different limits. You set the class for each machine and Linesense applies the matching limits.
Not every motor needs the same sensor. Use the simple one widely, and the detailed one where a failure would hurt most.
Measures overall vibration and temperature, and grades them against the ISO zones. It answers one question: is this machine getting worse?
Also records the frequency spectrum. Each fault has its own signature, so it can say what is wrong, not only that something is.
An alarm only matters if someone acts on it. Health carries each alert through to the job.
Vibration, temperature and their trend combine into one status per machine. Open the list and the machines that need attention are at the top.
See how each machine has behaved against its zone limits, and watch a slow rise long before it crosses into zone C.
Linesense learns what normal looks like for each machine at its own speed and load, then alerts when it drifts, even before a zone limit is reached. Health Pro.
Look at the frequency spectrum behind an alarm, with fault indicators for imbalance, misalignment and bearing wear. Your analyst, or ours, can confirm the diagnosis. Health Pro.
Turn an alarm into a work order with the machine, the reading and the trend attached, and track it until it is closed. Health Pro.
On Enterprise, Linesense creates the maintenance notification in SAP PM for you, and can feed other maintenance systems as well.
Linked to OEE. With Linesense OEE on the same machines, a stop is traced back to the alarm that came before it. The line's downtime report shows which stops were warned about, and which were not.
A sensor on the wrong spot misses the fault. These rules apply to every machine we install on.
Priced per monitored point, which is one sensor on one bearing. We quote after we know your machines.

No. Health works on its own. Running both on the same machines adds the link from a stop to the alarm that preceded it, and one login for production and maintenance.
It depends on the fault, the machine and its load, so we don't promise a fixed number of weeks. Bearing faults on diagnostic-grade sensors tend to show earliest. A pilot shows what you get on your own machines.
Rotating equipment with bearings: motors, pumps, fans, compressors and gearboxes. Very slow machines and non-rotating equipment need a different approach, and we tell you so on the survey.
Alarm grade on the many ordinary motors, fans and pumps, and diagnostic grade on the few machines that would hurt most if they failed. You can mix both on one site.
The edge device keeps recording at the plant and sends the readings when the link returns. Connections are outbound only, so nothing opens on your firewall.
A 30-minute call. We'll ask which machines have hurt you before and tell you honestly where Health would have helped.
