This is a HOT topic -- Condition Monitoring (CM).  Brandon pierces through the sales and marketing fodder to expose some really cool stuff. Sales and marketing would have you monitor just temperature and vibration. But wait, there's more! Remember the refrigerator analogy? What indicators are really enough? Manufacturers are developing some fantastic capabilities for sensors that allow users to grab data without being invasive. We call it the EKG method. Condition monitoring sensors are a way to do that. Most condition monitoring systems out there are just going to alert you by sending a text or email, which is good. Why not take it to the next level? Why not take the next step by having the ability to monitor AND the ability to do something about it -- Machine to Machine Artificial Intelligence (M2M AI). elliTek and Balluff have formed an alliance to take you to that next level. Balluff has a phenomenal condition monitoring sensor that's the size of a postage stamp, their BCM sensor. This compact sensor can monitor not just one but FOUR physical variables. elliTek's IIoTA™ (Industrial Internet of Things Appliance) can connect directly to Balluff's BCM sensor. By using the IIoTA's drag and drop dashboard, you can display the data from your BCM sensor on any viewable device connected to the local network or a static IP address. See data from Balluff's BCM sensor being displayed by the IIoTA SCMs (Smart Condition Monitoring System). Reach out to us with any questions or future topics!
