Condition monitoring systems have become an integral part of modern maintenance. Whether using simple handheld devices, trend detection devices, data collectors, or even complex online systems, it is increasingly possible to implement monitoring systems tailored precisely to customer requirements in a wide variety of industries.

Optimizing plant efficiency through an optimal maintenance mix!...
the higher the degree, ... the more efficient the operation! 

a) Protection systems / safety systems
(emergency stop feature; according to programmed parameters) 

b) Improvement-oriented maintenance
(online; complete problem identification; optimizations possible during operation) 

c) Reliability-oriented maintenance
(effective values; fewer planned stops; more accurate service life determination) 

d) Condition-based maintenance
(average values indicate trends to aid decision-making; question of interpretation) 

e) Preventive maintenance
(planned stops for maintenance work, without condition monitoring) 

f) Reactive/corrective maintenance
(operation until failure-repair or replacement in case of malfunction)

From the gate to the cloud...

Of course, development has moved forward in the meantime, and customers now have access to a wide range of providers offering similar cloud-based monitoring systems. In some cases, it may be worthwhile to take a closer look in advance to ensure that you ultimately get the best service at the most favorable terms.

Depending on the criticality of an application, an optimal strategy mix can be decisive and help to ensure that the necessary resources are used optimally and profitably.
