The Machine Health Monitoring System by Advanced Technology Services (ATS) is designed to keep industrial machines running efficiently and safely. This blog explains the system in plain language, so anyone can understand how it works.
1. What It Does
- Tracks machine health using vibration and temperature data.
- Helps prevent breakdowns and improves maintenance decisions.
- Works wirelessly between the sensor and the hub.
- Can take readings multiple times per day — or manually on demand.
- You can change how often and how much data it collects.
2. How It’s Built
- Designed to resist dust, water (IP67), and corrosion.
- Works in temperatures from -40°C to +70°C (-40°F to 158°F).
- Withstands drops up to 1 meter.
- Follows key international standards like:
- UL61010
- ATEX Zone 2 (Directive 94/9/EC)
- FCC Part 15
- CE / UKCA
- RoHS
3. Sensor and Hub
- The sensor is small: 2.4″ high, 1.6″ diameter, weighs only 3.8 oz.
- The hub is 1.2″ high, 3.3″ wide and deep, and weighs 3.2 oz.
- Mounted using magnet, epoxy, or threaded stud (1/4-28 UNF).
- Nickel-plated base makes it durable and long-lasting.
4. Vibration and Motion Detection
- Uses a triaxial accelerometer to measure vibration in X, Y, and Z directions.
- Detects movements up to ±64g with 16-bit resolution at 25.6 kHz.
- Frequency response:
- 8.2 kHz (X)
- 8.5 kHz (Y)
- 5.6 kHz (Z)
5. Wireless Connectivity and Security
- Works with both 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz WiFi (802.11 b/g/n).
- Connects via Bluetooth Low Energy.
- Uses WPA2 encryption with AES for secure data transmission.
6. Easy-to-Use Software
- View temperature and vibration on clear, simple dashboards.
- Includes peak velocity graphs for deeper vibration analysis.
- Choose to isolate X, Y, or Z axis.
- Shows both time-domain and spectral (FFT) waveforms.
- Lets you use your own names for machines and equipment.
- Offers several sampling rates: 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, or 8192 Hz.
- Built-in alerts to reduce notification fatigue.
- You can create groups for SMS or email alerts and escalations.
- Switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit easily.
7. The ATS Safety Culture
- ATS believes in “Beyond Zero” — a philosophy where safety is not just about compliance, but about the full well-being of every worker.
- Their programs focus on best-in-class safety procedures and a deep commitment to people.
