Industry's First Machine Health Monitoring System

ITT has launched the groundbreaking PROsmart wireless machine health monitoring system designed to provide cost effective monitoring of all types of rotating equipment. This new technology brings affordable real-time monitoring to equipment that was previously monitored by manual hand-held type data collection equipment. The PROsmart system continuously monitors and automatically predicts machine health and alerts operators and maintenance personnel of existing and impending problems.

Process or safety critical equipment in today's industry is often monitored by sophisticated hardwired condition monitoring systems. The downside of these systems is that they are expensive to acquire and install, take a long time to commission, and require extensive operator training. The majority of rotating equipment such as motors, pumps, fans and compressors are typically monitored through less costly but, unfortunately, less efficient walk-around programs. Such programs provide important information related to the condition of the equipment and have proven to reduce the number of catastrophic failures. The downside of walk-around programs is that it is labor intensive and the data is often only collected once a month leaving the equipment unmonitored for the majority of the time.

ITT's new PROsmart system provides for a cost efficient online condition monitoring system that requires a minimum investment in equipment, time, and resources and is an excellent complement to existing walk-around programs.
