More time to schedule and prepare for needed repairs Useful analysis that aids in determining the severity of a failure Improved Mean Time to Repair (MTTR) Improved Reliability, Utilization and Mean Time Between Outage (MTBO) Increased production and reduced unscheduled downtime It helps maintenance professionals by increasing awareness of how their compressor package is performing. It does this by alerting them to any potential conditions that may result in an unplanned shutdown event or catastrophic failure. This increased awareness, along with a proactive approach to maintenance, can provide increases in productivity and help with scheduling maintenance intervals.
mGuard® CompressorWatch™ provides service managers, technicians and maintenance crews with a powerful tool that is specifically designed to provide valuable insight into the performance and health status of their compressors.
This advanced technology is proven to provide:
More time to schedule and prepare for needed repairs
Useful analysis that aids in determinng the severity of a failure
Reduced unecessary and/or unscheduled repairs
Improved mean Time to Repair (MTTR)
Improved Reliabiilty, Utilization and Mean Time Between Outage (MTBO)
Increased production and reduced unscheduled down time

What is it?
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.
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?
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.

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.
How does it work?
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.

Requirements
What is required?
Hardware
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.
INTERFACE CABLING
Every installation of mGuard® CompressorWatch™ comes with interface cabling preconfigured to connect to the compressor package assets.

AUTOMATED ANALYTICS
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:

CompressorWatch™ Analytics help operations & reliability:
-
-
- Optimize Production
- Reduce Unexpected Shutdowns from component failures
- Reduce Excessive Parts & Labor Cost
-
-
-
- After-hours labor (scheduled versus reactionary)
- Avoid additional costs associated with failure mode misdiagnosis. (i.e., removing incorrect part)
-
ADVANCED NOTIFICATIONS & ALERTS
Monico’s mGuard® CompressorWatch™ generates Automated Advanced Notifications
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:
- Status
- A/F Ratio and Load Control
- Oil-Coolant Systems
- Exhaust Temperatures
- Transformer Secondary
- Ignition Timing
- Combustion Time
- Engine Cylinder Data
- Event & Diagnostic Codes
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.
