Machines need to be monitored, there's no way around it. IoT isn't going anywhere, and technology is only going to get more immersive. Getting timely and accurate data is critical for things like preventative maintenance, troubleshooting, and condition monitoring. Getting that necessary data in a safe, easy, and cost-efficient way, however, has always been the challenge, and don't even get me started about recording, storing, and analyzing that data.

Not collecting machine data is exponentially more expensive over time. Improper data collection and interpretation can lead to:
So yes, you do need to collect machine data, but it isn't always that easy. The most common problems that make data collection and monitoring difficult are:
These sensors are accurate, compact, energy-efficient (up to 5-year battery life), and can be used in a wide range of applications to help predict problems and prevent downtime, requiring no wiring or hardware.
Parker's SensoNODE continuously and wirelessly monitor processes, allowing for remote condition monitoring via Bluetooth (app) or the cloud (any internet connection). Wireless connection results in both a safer and more efficient work environment for technicians, as they can run diagnostics away from harsh environments and export and share logged data through email or text. SensoNODE replaces the time-consuming process of slowing down production, walking to individual units, checking each gauge, taking and organizing notes, then eventually (or hopefully) analyzing those numbers.
The sensors are extremely easy to install, and record data in both real-time and as historic trends, making it easy to diagnose problems before hardware is damaged or in need of repair. Essential for preventing older or outdated components from being damaged.
Parker breaks SensoNODE into two different classifications, SensoNODE Blue and Gold. We'll break down their purposes below, but first, watch the video below to get a feel for what SensoNODE really is.
Using Bluetooth means no network and support are required, while still granting mobile access to machines and processes. No external power source is required, LED indicators help to identify the sensor status, and the sensor housing is sealed for harsh environments.
SensoNODE Blue sensors measure pressure, temperature, humidity, strain, and analog input 4-20mA,
Blue sensors are a wonderful option for many small and medium sized operations to get fast, safe, and accurate data on a routine basis from their machines, reducing maintenance costs and preventing downtime.
Gold sensors have all the functionality of Blue, while also measuring flow and vibration.
SensoNODE Gold sensors are ideal for operations where shutdowns are especially c o s t l y, or where continuous remote monitoring is needed (or preferred).
Parker's SensoNODE sensors make advanced condition monitoring cost-effective and accessible. They easily and accurately measure, monitor, and analyze machine data, helping you reduce maintenance costs and prevent downtime.
