Background
Imagine you are a nurse on the night shift. Most patients are asleep and stable. But some have oxygen deficiency, high blood pressure or fever. You're all alone and have to monitor hundreds of patients. Without technical aids.
This is exactly the challenge that machine measurement manufacturer Status Pro faced with its customers. Only we're not talking about human patients here, but machines or real estate, some of which are far apart doing their work. Most machines are fine most of the time. But it is, quite literally, vital to know early on whether a machine's condition is deteriorating. And not only when it is too late and the patient can no longer be saved.
Status Pro used its know-how in measurement technology to develop modern sensors that measure the "pulse beat" of the machines. However, measuring the values does not solve the challenge. The same applies here as with the nurse: She is not helped if only important vital parameters are measured. In addition, the data must always be made available to her reliably and in real time. With a large number of patients, it is important that she is made aware of the patients in critical condition and directly receives important additional information about the patient concerned, such as the illness and the attending doctor.
This in turn can be projected to the challenge of Status Pro and its clients: Successful monitoring requires:
1. reliable machine data;
2. fast and stable processing of the data;
3. intuitive information provision with a focus on critical cases;
4. relevant context for troubleshooting.
In addition, the necessary knowledge is often distributed across multiple stakeholders. For example, machine measurement engineers have the know-how on sensors, electrical machine builders on machines, and production line operators on production processes. This results in a high communication and coordination effort, especially when problems occur.
Complementary software for processing, visualizing and configuring sensor data was to address this complex challenge and increase added value for customers.
