"By using cutting-edge software and flexible hardware, coaches and riders can see all of the data in real time and immediately improve and adjust performance." - Steve Owens - Colorado Premier Training |
Monitoring is everywhere, from weather stations and power meters to industrial systems, to help reduce cost, improve productivity, and even save lives. It is different from typical measurement applications because monitoring measurements are usually performed over extended periods of time to generate alarms or notifications, identify data trends, and gain efficiencies. An example is machine condition monitoring (MCM), which is often used for the predictive maintenance of mechanical devices. MCM incorporates sensor measurements to identify when components such as gears or bearings within a mechanical system need to be changed or updated before a failure occurs. This maximizes the lifetime of mechanical components while avoiding costly system failures.
