How it Works?
An integrated system analyzes gigabytes of data in a matter of milliseconds
Your Machines. Your Data. Your Way.
mGuard® MachineWatch™ collects real-time streaming data from mining assets outfitted with the mCore®SDR industrial data acquisition device. No expensive sensor add-on packages are required.
Data then flows into the trusted MonicoLive™ platform, where mGuard® MachineWatch™ analytics go to work instantly. Our automated analyses and notifications are completely set up and managed by our subject matter experts to help you save money and optimize operations through improved asset reliability, reduced unscheduled shutdowns and improved preventative maintenance planning.
MachineWatch can analyze:
- Engines and components
- Hydraulic systems and components
- Drive systems and components
- Chassis and components
- Cooling systems
- Air intake systems
- Lubrication systems
- Equipment KPIs
ADVANCED FEATURES
Powerful industrial data analysis alerts you to trouble
Automated Advanced Notifications & Alerts
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 occurrence, severity, the types of conditions that are indicative of a failure, recommended action and a link to MonicoLive. This makes it easy to look at the data coming in from the asset and get to the root of the problem quickly.
Dashboards/Data Visualization & Alerts
A key feature of mGuard® MachineWatch™ is the data visualization environment. Built within MonicoLive, MachineWatch™ provides a full suite of data visualization screens called dashboards. All dashboards are preconfigured and set up for the specific asset.
In addition to viewing current data, you can look at historical data with simple functionality that lets you move backwards and forwards along the timeline or select a specific date/time. Dashboards include:
- Asset Overview
- Engine
- Intake
- Exhaust
- Drive
- Chassis
- Hydraulic Systems
- Grease System
- Oil Analysis Detail
- Component Life Tracking
- Event & Diagnostic Codes
Fluids Analysis
Fluids analysis dashboards are included in the data visualization capabilities. mGuard® MachineWatch™ brings together what had previously been disparate silos of machine health data that required substantial and highly expert human analysis: machine telemetry and analysis of fluids like engine oil, transmission fluids and hydraulic fluids. MachineWatch MDEs (Monico Defined Events) consider both fluid analysis and telemetry data in combination, to better predict failure at the earliest onset. This advanced feature saves the time needed to review the oil analysis reports and corresponding telemetry data, a task that requires hard-to-find people with the necessary skill sets, experience and knowledge across multiple machine types and different OEMs.
