Machine Condition Monitoring

"The monitoring application on the CompactRIO platform can search for the best measurement periods for analysis and optimize the signal-to-noise ratio."

- Daniel Ramírez - CADETECH S.A.

Monitoring Electromechanical Shovels for Open-Pit Mining

NI is empowering engineers to develop industrial embedded systems for monitoring and control. You can use NI tools to create machine condition monitoring systems. Condition-based maintenance systems help decrease unscheduled outages and optimize machine performance while reducing maintenance and repair costs. NI hardware and software are used in condition monitoring systems deployed on a variety of turbines, compressors, generators, and other industrial machines.
