Schaeffler OPTIME
Description
Structure
The overall system consists of several components designed
for condition monitoring and predictive maintenance:
■
OPTIME gateway
■
OPTIME sensors
■
OPTIME app
■
OPTIME dashboards in the Schaeffler IoT Hub.
The sensors automatically form a mesh network that transfers
data directly or via other sensors to the gateway. In the network,
the sensors transfer raw data on vibrations as well as key perform-
ance indicators (KPI) via the gateway to the Schaeffler IoT Hub,
where the data are analysed and the results sent to the OPTIME app.
All analyses are also available in the OPTIME dashboard. Directly
after activation the sensor automatically starts to measure and
transfer data at pre-set intervals. At the same time, learning mode is
initiated, which defines the alarm thresholds for the respective
machine.
The mesh network organises itself automatically, when sensors or
gateways are added or removed. The use of several gateways in
the same network is also possible. Depending on the circumstances,
existing OPTIME installations can also be expanded subsequently
to 50 to 70 sensors per gateway.
