What does it do?

   What does it do?

mGuard® MachineWatch™ is a tool that provides maintenance managers, technicians, and reliability engineers with improved insight as to how the assets, and the individual components of each asset are performing and their health statuses.

Service Technician Accessing IoT Connected Solution on a Tablet
 
 
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
 
 

Condition Monitoring is using data from mining 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® MachineWatch™ is to run real-time analytics on mining machines to determine the status of their health.

KEY POINT: Condition monitoring is the process of monitoring parameters in machinery (pressures, rotations, temperatures etc.), in order to identify a significant change which is indicative of a developing fault and enables the potential problem to be managed proactively in order to prevent an unscheduled shut down event. It is a major component of predictive maintenance.

How does it work?

   How does it work?

mGuard® MachineWatch™ collects real-time streaming data from the mining assets; including the engine, chassis, drive, hydraulic and grease systems from the ECM’s.

mGuard HowItWorks Image

KEY POINT: mCore®SDR is the industrial data acquisition device that is collecting data from connected assets. The data is then sent to the MonicoLive™ Cloud environment where mGuard® MachineWatch™ is analyzing data in real-time

The following graphic depicts/explains what happens when data gets to mGuard MachineWatch in MonicoLive

mGuard HowItWorks Image2

KEY POINT: Once data is received into MonicoLive™ it is then processed in real-time by mGuard® MachineWatch™ analytics to determine if any conditions are presenting that may require advanced notification and attention by maintenance and service professionals

Requirements

   What is required?

   Hardware

mGuard® MachineWatch™  does not require expensive sensor package addons

mCore No Bkgd lg

MachineWatch™ 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.

<< For more information on mCore®SDR click here >>

 
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.

   INTERFACE CABLING

Mining Wire Harness Kit

Every installation of mGuard® MachineWatch™ comes with interface cabling preconfigured to connect to the compressor package assets.

What is included

   What is included?

  AUTOMATED ANALYTICS

mGuard® MachineWatch™ includes real-time analytics that run unattended 24/7/365 as data streams in from the asset(s).

mGuard CheckMarkThere is no need to download data records, CAN logs or other information to run analytics manually in spreadsheets or other tools

mGuard CheckMarkNo need for a human to be actively involved in analyzing data (it works while you sleep)

Automated notifications and analysis include, but are not limited to:

  • Engine & Components
  • System & Components
  • Drive System & Components
  • Chassis & Components
  • Cooling Systems
  • Air Intake Systems
  • Lubrication Systems
  • Equipment KPIs (e.g., Reliability)

MachineWatch™ Analytics help operations & reliability:

mGuard CheckMarkOptimize Production

mGuard CheckMarkReduce Unexpected Shutdowns from component failures

mGuard CheckMarkReduce 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

 

mGuard® MachineWatch™  generates Automated Advanced Notifications

When MachineWatch™ identifies a potential failure or shutdown, the system will trigger an email notification. These notifications provide the name of the asset, time of occurence, severity, the types of conditions that are indicative of a failure, recommended action and a hyperlink to MonicoLive.

mGuard MachineWatch Advanced Email Notification
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

A key feature of mGuard® MachineWatch™ is the Data Visualization environment or Dashboards.
Built on MonicoLive, MachineWatch™ provides a full suite of data visualization screens called Dashboards
mGuard MachineWatch DashboardScreen01

Displays for:

Asset Overview
Engine
Intake
Exhaust
Drive
Chassis
Hydraulic systems
Grease System
Oil Analysis Detail
Component Life Tracking
Event & Diagnostic Codes

mGuard MachineWatch DashboardScreen02

KEY POINT: 

All dashboards are preconfigured and setup for the asset 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.

 

   FLUIDS ANALYSIS

Included in the visualizations are dashboard(s) for Fluids Analysis
mGuard MachineWatch DashboardScreen03

mGuard® MachineWatch™ combines the machine telemetry and fluids analysis data, and brings together what had previously been disparate silos of machine health data, enabling MachineWatch MDE’s (Monico Defined Events) to use both the fluid analysis (i.e., engine oil, transmission fluids, hydraulic fluids) and telemetry data in combination, to better predict failure at the earliest onset.

Previously, this would require people with experience in both machine telemetry data and fluids analysis to spend time reviewing all the available data, then from their experience, determine the underlying cause of the condition affecting the machine health and appropriate corrective action. Some of the downsides to this is firstly the time taken to physically review the oil analysis reports and the corresponding telemetry data, secondly finding the right people with the necessary skill sets and experience and that have the knowledge across multiple machine types and different OEM’s is difficult, thirdly if these people leave the business their knowledge and experience leaves with them.

 

 Fluid(s) Analysis Dashboards include:   
 
      • Engine Oil
      • Hydraulic Systems
      • Transmission System
      • Front Differential
      • Rear Differential
 
  • Final LHF
  • Final RHF
  • Final LHR
  • Final RHR
mGuard® MachineWatch™ reduces downsides to fluids analysis considerably, by removing the need to manually review large volumes of data and enabling the focus to be on fixing the underlying issue, rather than spending time identifying it. The failure modes are built into the MDE’s and don’t leave with the people. Having both datasets combined enables more precise failure identification, at the earliest possible onset.
mGuard® MachineWatch™ is watching 24/7/365, continuously analyzing Gigabytes of data all in a matter of milliseconds.

 

   HISTORICAL DATA STORAGE

Included with mGuard® MachineWatch™ is Data Archiving and Storage 
mGuard MachineWatch DashboardScreen03

Data Archiving is important for a remote condition monitoring solution as it provides the opportunity to ‘go back’ and historically review what was happening and to perform analytics on data that is slowly trending over time.
