How it works:
All types of mechanisms and machinery emit sounds when they are in motion. The closer we get to their construction, whether metal or solid material (which always transmits sound much better than air), the more information we can extract from the sound.
Some experts can identify the condition of a mechanism by listening to its sound, but they are few and far between, and their services are expensive. Furthermore, expert or not, it's never possible to hear enough detail at every point to predict what's happening in each part of the machine, either because our senses can't detect the harmful sounds or simply because we aren't present when they occur.
The problem is that the sound emitted by a mechanism changes over time due to mechanical wear, caused by unavoidable lubrication defects. The lubricant film should keep moving mechanical parts separated, but sometimes this film breaks down, and the metals or solid elements come into contact, causing material wear or, in the worst case, burning the metal surfaces (seizing).
Treon IoT sensors capture all these sounds (sounds are vibrations) and analyze them to obtain the data necessary for monitoring and predictive maintenance of rotating equipment, such as motors, pumps, and compressors, among other types of machinery.
Treon IoT sensors measure temperature to warn of extreme temperatures. Lubricants are very sensitive to temperature and only function optimally within a certain temperature range.
Treon has equipped its products with a new wireless technology called 'Wirepas Mesh', efficient at avoiding cabling and reducing assembly costs to a purely mechanical level.
The "Wirepas Mesh" wireless technology functions as a mesh, meaning each node acts as a repeater for other, more distant nodes. This makes Treon IoT sensors the perfect solution for all types of networks, from small systems to large-scale networks for sensor data collection. Its application range is broad, enabling asset management in buildings, smart factories, and even entire cities.
Treon sensors connect to Ethernet TCP/IP networks and the Internet via the Wirepass to Ethernet TCP/IP Gateway, creating a scalable solution that allows connection to any IT platform and the Cloud.
The Treon Industrial Node Sensor is a wireless condition monitoring device powered by batteries that last for years. It measures triaxial vibration and surface temperature of rotating equipment, such as pumps, motors, and compressors.
The Treon Industrial Node sensor is configurable to any need. Acceleration and temperature can be measured at configurable intervals or on demand (to reduce battery power consumption). The node can send raw acceleration data for further processing or perform mathematical calculations and provide, for example, RMS, kurtosis, and FFT (1Hz/bin).
The node can send raw acceleration data for further processing, or it can perform mathematical calculations and provide per-axis RMS, kurtosis and FFT (1Hz/bin).
