IoT Sensors Used for Asset Performance Management
Vibration Sensors
These sensors detect vibrations in machinery, which can indicate potential faults or abnormalities. By analyzing vibration patterns, maintenance teams can predict equipment failures and schedule maintenance before major breakdowns occur.
Temperature Sensors
Monitoring the temperature of equipment and assets can help detect overheating, which is often a precursor to failure. Temperature sensors can also be used to optimize operating conditions and prevent damage due to excessive heat.
Pressure Sensors
Pressure sensors are used to monitor fluid pressure in equipment such as pumps, valves, and pipelines. Sudden changes in pressure can indicate leaks, blockages, or other issues that need attention.
Flow Sensors
Flow sensors measure the rate of fluid flow in pipes and systems. By monitoring flow rates, organizations can detect inefficiencies, leaks, or malfunctions in equipment such as pumps, compressors, and cooling systems.
Energy Watcher
These sensors monitor electrical currents flowing through equipment and systems. Sudden changes in current levels can indicate electrical faults, overload conditions, or other issues that may affect equipment performance.
Gas and Chemical Sensors
In industries such as manufacturing, chemical processing, and oil and gas, sensors are used to monitor gas and chemical levels for safety and environmental compliance.
