Remote Monitoring & Remote Testing

Monitoring is the general term used when referring to operations such as condition monitoring, structural health monitoring or predictive maintenance. When working with mechanical systems such as vehicles, aircraft, machinery, installations or structures of any kind, whose physical behavior is observed under realistic conditions using suitable measurement and analysis technology, it is crucial for manufacturers and engineers to have effective monitoring capabilities. The collected data provide an immediate benefit, since they can be used to optimize maintenance schedules, evaluate warranty issues and optimize simulation models and test concepts. This results in immediate cost savings for the user.

What is needed is an efficient and reliable monitoring solution that can automatically provide alerts and alarms, as well as log and analyze data. Furthermore, the monitoring should allow continuous and controllable measurement data acquisition, even from remote locations. Combining standard instruments, data loggers, custom software, IT and telecommunications services, as well as special internet services, allows for an economical and safe operation in all types of condition monitoring and long-term measurements.

One-stop system solution

In addition to individual hardware and software components, we offer a complete service based on our measurement technology expertise and specialized IT and telecommunications services. The full-service offering includes consulting and design, instrumentation of the monitored object, integration of an intelligent and self-sufficient measurement system, and definition of warning and error classes. This makes use of inexpensive commercial telecommunications standards such as UMTS and the Internet. The newly created Internet platform www.webdevices.de is the central access point for setting up monitoring features, defining protocols, and configuring warning and alarm messages. All data is stored locally in the measuring device as well as on an Internet server. Access is encrypted within a private mobile network via a log-in-secured Internet portal. Measurement data acquisition, analysis, and alarms Continuous data acquisition at the monitored object includes analog and digital measurement data as well as data extracted from bus and log data. Even GPS location information is available for mobile monitoring objects such as vehicles. Signal analyses, limit value monitoring, and any calculations are performed by the measuring device in real time. SMS and email messages are sent immediately in accordance with the alarm configuration.
