Condition Monitoring

Continuously monitor the condition of machines, plants and processes

Stop guessing, start knowing

Condition monitoring systems and their components contribute to the efficient and trouble-free operation of machines and plants. With them, you know the current status and can make informed decisions for the future - and don't have to keep guessing.

  • Reduce maintenance and service 

  • Improve quality of machines 

Disruptions in the production process due to unplanned downtimes can be prevented through the use of sensors. Monitoring sensors, such as temperature, pressure and level sensors, provide data on the condition of a plant. If this data is processed, it provides valuable information for the maintenance of the machines and thus enables successful preventive maintenance.


The benefits of condition monitoring

Condition monitoring systems allow changes, such as wear on individual components or decreased sensor performance, to be detected more quickly and machine maintenance to be better coordinated.

This optimizes the maintenance process and also increases safety for your employees. Furthermore, failures can be anticipated to avoid or minimize production delays and the costs that come with them.

Beyond these possibilities, the extensive information and data provided by condition monitoring systems offers the possibility of new business and pricing models for machines and plants.

Five facts that will boost your production

Are you still guessing or do you already have experience with condition monitoring? We have prepared additional information about this topic and would like to make this available to you - based on your knowledge. 

  • For beginners: Start your knowledge building with the top 5 facts about condition monitoring and learn about maintenance approaches and gathering the right data. We also answer the often asked question about cost-benefit tradeoffs, and provide an example calculation of return on investment - find all that in our PDF fact sheet.

  • For advanced: Deepen your knowledge with more details. Example applications show you where and how condition monitoring can bring you real benefits. And our easy guide can help you choose the right solution and sensor for your individual requirement - find all that on your digital whitepaper.

Not sure about your level of knowledge? Use our self-assessment with just six questions and we will send you the right content based on your answers.

Our technology for your success 

Condition detection, analysis, diagnosis: 

In addition to their original function, like distance measurement or object detection, the components of the Balluff Smart Automation and Monitoring System (SAMS) provide you with condition data like vibration, temperature or operating hours. The best part: thanks to the IO-Link communication standard, the data you need is available uniformly everywhere, and as soon as you need it.

A condition monitoring solution in an intelligent sensor 

In addition to the SAMS components, Balluff offers an intelligent condition monitoring sensor. The condition monitoring sensor measures various physical variables - such as vibration, temperature, humidity and ambient pressure - and supplies the recorded data to a higher-level system via IO-Link. The data obtained can be used not only for plant control, but can also be further evaluated and analyzed for diagnostic purposes. In addition, the sensor offers the possibility of defining limit values for pre-alarms and main alarms, so that certain states generate warning messages as soon as the defined values are exceeded. After evaluating the collected data, statements can be made about the condition of the machines and systems. Together with the warning messages, this data pool is a prerequisite for predictive maintenance. 

  • Multiple measured variables in one device: vibration, temperature, humidity, ambient pressure 

  • Integrated evaluation electronics with configurable data preprocessing 

  • Configurable events and status displays 

  • Quick to connect and easy to integrate via IO-Link 

  • Compact design 

Condition Monitoring Toolkit (CMTK) 

With the Condition Monitoring Toolkit (CMTK), we offer you a complete solution to monitor the condition of machines and processes. It contains everything you need: from sensors to data acquisition system to visualization software. And you benefit from great flexibility thanks to its compatibility with all IO-Link sensors, as well as simple operation thanks to the intuitive software. Thus, with the CMTK, you can implement condition monitoring entirely according to your needs in just a few minutes.
