Fields of use
- Breakdowns diagnostics;
- Troubleshooting sporadic errors;
- Optimization of cycle time;
- Permanent recording of measured values;
- Predictive maintenance;
- Quality guarantee
- TPM/OEE, EU Machinery Directive
- Condition Monitoring.
The real-time display allows you to observe the waveform of the signal in live. Signal analysis and evaluation takes place already during recording.
In addition to permanent recording you can specify trigger conditions for logging specific events. This makes it possible to specifically record infrequently occurring sporadic errors for subsequent analysis.

For whom?
The technical manager —
using this system will be able to find and diagnose sporadic faults. Monitoring the condition of the equipment will allow determining the time of preventive maintenance to eliminate costly breakdowns.
using this system will be able to find and diagnose sporadic faults. Monitoring the condition of the equipment will allow determining the time of preventive maintenance to eliminate costly breakdowns.
The director of the manufacturing plant — will be able to unambiguous determine the warranty case in case of equipment malfunction, due to the objective measurement and recording of the process signal.
The technologist — will be able to optimize the cycle in his production due to the investigation of delay times of a production system.
