Establish Asset Baselines
Define the measurements, normal operating range and alarm limits for each selected asset and operating mode.

Industrial Condition Monitoring
Bring vibration, temperature, electrical and process measurements into one asset view. ROBOX integrates suitable instruments and existing PLC, VFD and meter data so operations and maintenance teams can review conditions, alarms and trends together.

MAINTENANCE VISIBILITY
Use Operating Evidence to Focus Maintenance
Condition monitoring brings compatible measurements, equipment status and event history together. Teams review deviations against configured limits and operating context to prioritize inspection and maintenance. A monitoring alarm indicates a condition for review; it does not confirm a fault by itself.
Identify Deviations
Review alarms, data quality and trends to spot changes that warrant engineering or maintenance investigation.
Plan a Response
Combine monitoring evidence with field checks and maintenance history before deciding on corrective work.
SYSTEM WORKFLOW
From Field Measurements to Maintenance Action
A practical monitoring scope connects the right measurements to the asset view and alarm response your team can use.

MONITORING SCOPE
Measurements That Support Asset Health Review
Available points depend on installed instruments, control-system signals and the required monitoring depth.
Vibration
Trend vibration signals from compatible sensors or analyzers. Sensor selection and measurement method depend on asset speed, mounting and monitoring objective.
Temperature
Review bearing, winding or process temperatures where suitable sensors are installed and mapped to the monitored asset.
Electrical Parameters
Use available current, voltage, power, frequency and power-factor measurements to add electrical operating context.
Process Conditions
Include flow, pressure, level or other process readings when they help explain the equipment's operating condition.
Alarms & Data Quality
Make configured threshold alarms, stale readings and communication issues visible to the team.
Trends & Event History
Review timestamped measurements and acknowledged events over the retention period defined for the project.
INDUSTRIAL CONNECTIVITY
Integrate Suitable Existing Equipment
Retain compatible devices where practical. ROBOX engineers confirm available signals, interfaces, data quality and network constraints before defining the integration scope.
Energy Meters
Power, energy, demand and available electrical quantities.
PLCs & VFDs
Run state, speed, load, alarms and supported drive signals.
Condition Sensors
Vibration, bearing temperature and other asset measurements.
Process Instruments
Flow, pressure, level and temperature for operating context.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
Prioritize Critical Motor-Driven Assets
Start with assets whose failure affects production, utilities, safety or service continuity, then expand by area and measurement need.
Pumps & Motors
Operating state, vibration, temperature and electrical load.
Fans & Blowers
Speed, motor condition and process performance indicators.
Compressors
Operating measurements, alarms and related process conditions.
Generators & Auxiliaries
Selected electrical, temperature and equipment status points.
PROJECT PLANNING
Condition Monitoring: Scope & Engineering
What is needed to define the monitoring scope?
Start with the asset list, criticality, available instruments and controls, operating modes, network interfaces, and the maintenance questions the system should help answer.
Can existing PLCs, VFDs and meters be integrated?
Often, where the devices expose suitable measurements through supported interfaces. Compatibility, signal mapping and data quality are confirmed during engineering.
Does monitoring automatically predict equipment failure?
Monitoring provides measurements, alarms and trends for review. Predictive methods require an agreed analysis approach, sufficient representative data and engineering validation.
Does the system automatically control equipment?
Condition monitoring is for observation and decision support. Automatic control or protective trips require separate control-system design, risk review and an agreed project scope.
How are alarm limits established?
Limits are set for the selected measurement using applicable manufacturer guidance, site operating conditions and commissioning checks. Delays and deadbands can be configured where appropriate.
