AVT Reliability® are pleased to announce further developments to Machine Sentry® its unique condition monitoring system.

Machine Sentry® is a revolutionary new approach to condition monitoring that offers a cost effective solution supported by on-demand high level analysis support. Machine Sentry® is simple to use, and includes an automatic fault diagnosis assistant that helps identify potential issues with rotating equipment. Machine Sentry® integrates all condition monitoring techniques and watchkeeping data into a Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) solution to provide effective maintenance planning and reporting.

Machine Sentry® comprises the modular internet hosted Machine Sentry® Software Suite which integrates a range of condition monitoring techniques. Machine Sentry® Mobile sensor (Patent Pending) is a wireless, intelligent tri-axial vibration and temperature sensor which connects via a Bluetooth® enabled PDA to the Machine Sentry® software. Laboratory oil analysis data is automatically mapped and integrated into the Machine Sentry® database. Watchkeeping, action tracking, thermal image and other process measurements can be logged directly into the PDA for upload. The integrated Fault Diagnosis Assistant acts like a Level II analyst, warning of potential problems and suggesting verification procedures to confirm. The Fault Diagnosis Assistant algorithms have been developed by AVT Reliability’s own team of vibration experts using thousands of hours of vibration data coupled with extensive field experience.

Machine Sentry® can be used either as a stand-alone tool, or alongside an existing enterprise system (e.g. SAP, Maximo, PEMAC, etc). All Machine Sentry® users have access to the AVT Reliability® team of condition monitoring experts which can be used either on a permanent basis or as trouble shooting consultants as and when needed.
