a. Online Gear Box Monitoring System using DX Sensors
Main Purpose of Condition Monitoring:



  • To Find the Health condition of machine.

  • To determine the need for maintenance.

  • Increasing plant equipment’s availability.

  • Torque monitoring helps avoiding mechanical overloads.

  • Reduction of maintenance cost.

  • Residual lifetimes of machines can be used to a greater extent.

  • Forecasts on expected development of plant condition are possible.

  • Spare parts can be procured just in time, optimization of spares storage.

  • Maintenance actions can be planned.

  • Low-cost outsourcing of maintenance work is possible.

  • Offers potential for process optimization.


b. Periodic data from embedded or installed smart sensors collected to identify /
monitor changes.



  • Data could be temperature, vibration, wear debris, Process parameters, etc.,

  • Interpretation of data to identify defects.
