Data collection continues to be an essential part of every industry, yet, acquiring machine data in a cost-effective and user-friendly manner continues to be challenging for many engineers and maintenance leaders. If you're caught in that catch-22, keep reading. We're covering the HMG 4000 from HYDAC, a little-known device that collects data easily from practically any device on your machine.

The Benefits of Collecting Machine Data
To quote Sir Francis Bacon, knowledge is power, and this is especially true when machine downtime is catastrophic to your bottom line. But most machines aren't enabled with built-in data collection, leaving it to the end-user to figure out (which many organizations don't have the manpower or budget to do). As data collection becomes a background task, maintenance becomes reactive, where you'll only know when something has already gone wrong. That's when the entire operation may be stalled until that one part comes in.
A Great Solution for Easy Data Collection
The HMG 4000 by HYDAC is built to collect real-time data from practically any device on industrial machines and systems. It is a portable and provides a wide range of flexibility, recording many different factors such as flow, CFM, spool position, feedback signals, and more. It's capable of recording up to 38 sensors at once (8 analog, 2 digital sensors, and 28 HSCI sensors via CAN bus).
Even better, the HMG 4000 collects and records all of these data points, then processes that data in the form of an easy-to-read graph. These graphs can be served up to the cloud so you can access real-time or historic machine data with ease. It's portability, touch screen controls, and menu interfaces make the HMG an extremely user-friendly way to collect, store, and read machine data. (For more details on the HMG's operation, check out the user manual).
