Machine Sentry - ® Next Generation Software

As a web enabled system, Machine Sentry® is the most versatile, readily accessible, intuitive and cost-effective condition monitoring solution available and combine with the Van Geffen expertise, condition monitoring has ever been better. Its small size, low power consumption and high storage capability, make the system very easy to install, operate and maintain, while still delivering all the functions required by expert analysts or plant operators.

• Secure database is accessible from almost any location by multiple users.
• Single interface that collates data, collected manually from vibration and temperature (including thermal imaging cameras), records visual inspection and process parameters and stores oil analysis data.
• Pipework Vibration Compliance feature enables the screening of  all process pipework and small bore connections to identify lines that have the greatest risk of failure.
• Extremely flexible and can be configured to meet the simplest of systems.
• ADA™ the Automated Diagnostic Assistant can predict stage 2, 3 and 4 bearing failure and detect a wide range of other common fault conditions.
• Plan, track and manage a range of maintenance events including lubrication activities and usage.
• Uses KPI’s to systematically measure the effectiveness of the condition monitoring (CM) program from schedule compliance to asset health and bad actor management.
• Can be used either as a standalone tool or alongside your existing enterprise system.
• OEM data such as pump curves, repair details or other documents can be imported and linked to appropriate assets.
• Access to world leading condition monitoring engineers.
• 5 times faster than any traditional data collection system, compliant with ISO14224 with advanced filtering capability.
• Vibration analysis is ISO 10816 compliant.
• Templates automatically configure alarms in accordance with ISO10816 and ISO 7919 standards.

With the Machine Sentry® app you can turn any android device into a data collector. The app collects data via Bluetooth® from MSF-1 or MSM-1, as well as 3rd party sensors with Bluetooth® capabilities. Users can also enable ADA™, the Automated Diagnostic Assistant that can predict stage 2, 3 and 4 bearing failure and detect a wide range of other common fault conditions that impact equipment reliability.

From the pp, you can view your last recorded readings in full detail including FFTs (Fast Fourier Transforms) and time wave forms as well as access trended overall readings, from both static assets and rotating machinery. There’s also the ability to report actions which can include photographic evidence straight from the factory floor to the app.

Data is accepted from a wide range of measurement techniques including:

• Vibration
• Temperature
• Visual inspections
• Process parameter
• Lubrication management
• Oil analysis (limited)
