Condition Monitoring

Condition Monitoring Solution for Rotating Machinery

Condition monitoring increases the performance and operating life of your plants, machinery and machine components. With our efficient condition monitoring systems, you can detect potential machine faults early and plan preventive maintenance effectively. This avoids unnecessary machine downtime and reduces the costs for maintenance while productivity increases.

Enhanced scalability

Benefitting from condition monitoring is easier than ever. Brüel & Kjær Vibro now offers you maximum flexibility – with our scalable solutions, tailored to your needs in every situation:

• If you are looking for an efficient way to monitor a single machine or several machines. Or if you need a solution for your whole plant – implemented all at once or step by step.
• Whether or not you have an existing machine protection solution for one, some or all of your machines. And whether you have a Brüel & Kjær Vibro protection system or a system from another supplier.
• If you would like to integrate the data into your DCS. Or if you are looking do to so at a later stage.
• If you want the freedom to start with a smaller system, with the option to expand to a comprehensive solution later.
