What is it?
mGuard® CompressorWatch™ is remote condition monitoring for your reciprocating gas compressors (i.e., drivers and ancilliary equipment). Monico’s Engineers work with you to determine exact hardware requirements to collect, aggregate, cleanse, translate, buffer and transmit your real-time stamped engine and compressor data to MonicoLive™ servers.
Industrial Data Acquisition and Storage
Real-time, stamped engine and compressor data
Data Visualization Environment
Digital dashboards of real-time and historical data
Asset status overview & operational KPI’s
Active Faults/Alarms
Predictive Analytics for Condition Monitoring
Preconfigured analysis and automated notifications
Designed to run automatically 24/7/365
CompressorWatch is built on the trusted MonicoLive™ platform hosted in the Microsoft® Azure cloud. Our automated analyses and notifications are completely setup and managed by Monico’s Subject Matter Experts and specifically designed to save you money through improved asset reliability, reduced unscheduled shutdowns and improved preventative maintenance planning.
What does it do?
mGuard® CompressorWatch™ is a tool that provides maintenance managers,technicians, and reliability with improved insight as to how the station, the engines, and the compressors are performing and their health statuses.
Tool for performing CONDITION-BASED MAINTENANCE
Helping to improve:
-
-
- Optimization
- Uptime
- Reliability
It’s used to Analyze Real-Time Streaming data
-
-
- Visualization, human review and interaction
- Automatically, triggering alerts/notifications
- Detect end of useful life
- Detect reliability related failures
Condition Monitoring is using data from compressor assets to evaluate the state of components of the system to determine if any of those components are beginning to show signs of failure. The purpose of mGuard® CompressorWatch™ is to run real-time analytics on compressor package components to determine the status of their health.
KEY POINT: Condition Monitoring is being able to detect that while components are still healthy the health is deteriorating, and action may need to be taken before deterioration results in failure.
How does it work?
mGuard® CompressorWatch™ collects real-time streaming data from the compression station assets; including the engine ECM, Package Controller and other external sensors.
KEY POINT: mCore®SDR is the industrial data acquistion device that is collecting data from connected assets. The data is then sent to the MonicoLive™ Cloud environment where mGuard® CompressorWatch™ is analyzing data in real-time
The following graphic depicts/explains what happens when data gets to mGuard CompressorWatch in MonicoLive
KEY POINT: Once data is received into MonicoLive™ it is then processed in real-time by mGuard® CompressorWatch™ analytics to determine if any conditions are presenting that may require advanced notification and attention by maintenance and service professionals
Requirements
mGuard® CompressorWatch™ does not require expensive sensor package addons
CompressorWatch™ remote condition monitoring can be accomplished with the installation of a data acquisition gateway (mCore®SDR), and a wiring kit.
If an ethernet access to a network is not available, a cellular modem can be installed.
All of the data acquisition, automated analytics and alert/notifications are accomplished with typical sensor packages. Additional expensive sensor solutions are not required.

KEY POINT: Monico mCore®SDR are: IP66/IP67 Enclosures – Water and Dust Resistance - Class I, Division II Certification - Haz. Loc. Approved Groups A-D, Surface Temp T5A.
Every installation of mGuard® CompressorWatch™ comes with interface cabling preconfigured to connect to the compressor package assets.
What is included
Monico’s mGuard® CompressorWatch™ includes real-time analytics that run unattended 24/7/365 as data streams in from the asset(s).
There is no need to download data records, CAN logs or other information to run analytics manually in spreadsheets or other tools
No need for a human to be actively involved in analyzing data (it works while you sleep)
All of the data acquisition, automated analytics and alert/notifications are accomplished with typical sensor packages. Additional expensive sensor solutions are not required.
Automated notifications and analysis include, but are not limited to:
- Emissions
- Engine & Compressor Components
- Engine & Compressor Sensors
- Engine Performance
- Compressor Valve Failures
|
- Equipment KPIs (e.g., Reliability)
- Jacket Water Cooling Systems
- Auxiliary Cooling Systems
- Air Intake Systems
|
- Ignition Systems
- Lubrication Systems
- Exhaust Systems
- Air/Fuel Ratio Systems
|
CompressorWatch™ Analytics help operations & reliability:
-
-
- Optimize Production
- Reduce Unexpected Shutdowns from component failures
- Reduce Excessive Parts & Labor Cost
Avoid extra cost for incorrect and or expedited parts
-
-
- After-hours labor (scheduled versus reactionary)
- Avoid additional costs associated with failure mode misdiagnosis. (i.e., removing incorrect part)
KEY POINT: All analytics are designed to run 24/7/365 and require no human interaction to perform. The analytics run in real-time as data is received from the compressor package.
ADVANCED NOTIFICATIONS & ALERTS
Monico’s mGuard® CompressorWatch™ generates Automated Advanced Notifications
KEY POINT: Advanced notifications provide a direct link to MonicoLive™ at the time of the event; this makes it easy to quickly get to the root of the problem and perform additional human analysis of the data coming from the asset.
DASHBOARDS/DATA VISUALIZATION & ALERTS
Another key feature of mGuard® CompressorWatch™ is the Data Visualization environment or Dashboards. Built on MonicoLive, mGuard CompressorWatch provides a full suite of visualizations.
Dashboards include:
Main Landing Page
Maintenance Page
Engine Displays for:
- Status
- A/F Ratio and Load Control
- Oil-Coolant Systems
- Exhaust Temperatures
- Transformer Secondary
- Ignition Timing
- Combustion Time
- Engine Cylinder Data
- Event & Diagnostic Codes
KEY POINT:
All dashboards are preconfigured and setup for the compressor package it’s depicting data on.
Additionally due to the availability of historical data, the dashboards provide a DVR type functionality that allows the user to move backwards and forwards along the timeline of data. Users can also move to a specific date/time.
