Hi guys, André Tétreault, Director of Tests and Diagnostics here at VibroSystM.
The subject for this week is the
evolution of monitoring systems.
Now monitoring systems are widely used
today but obviously this has not always been the case.
The solutions evolved significantly.
If we go back in time you know originally measured parameters were basically just operational data
and then we saw portable systems
appear and unfortunately these systems
were usually installed
and used only during the commissioning.
They would be quickly removed afterward and then we saw the introduction of permanent monitoring systems.
The evolution of these systems was not spurred on only because of a need to better protect the assets
but it was moreover a need to
better understand the data that the
monitoring systems were providing
and then we saw data analysis services
evolved followed by remote or fleetwide monitoring centers.
Today we have the introduction of web-based analysis and diagnostic platforms.
These allow for concentration of the results as simplified results on an intuitive interface which
can be used by plant managers both engineers and non-engineers.
So thank you for listening in and please comment if you have any questions
