2 Key Components of CMS & Essential Software for MBSE

Condition Monitoring Systems refer to technologies and processes that are implemented to monitor the performance and the health of machines and equipment in real-time. They consist of measuring parameters like vibration, temperature, pressure, and the state of lubrication to identify the initial indicators of possible failures. CMS also enables operators to conduct maintenance only when needed; this is through continuous monitoring of equipment so as to avoid the use of pre-scheduled or reactive maintenance strategies. 2 Key Components of Condition Monitoring Systems Hardware Components Sensors and Transducers The basis of condition monitoring systems is sensors. Examples of these are accelerometers, temperature probes, ultrasonic sensors, and pressure sensors. Data Acquisition Units They are units that retrieve raw data via sensors and turn it into digital signals that are to be analysed. Software Components Analytics Platforms Data is received, analysed on the...

Acoustic Measurement – A Hands-On Guide to Getting Sound Data Right

Image
Ever sat in a quiet room and still heard a weird hum from the ceiling lights? Or wondered why one Bluetooth speaker sounds rich and full while another just... exists? That’s acoustic behavior in action. And to make sense of it or to design anything that sounds, silences, or senses correctly you need reliable acoustic measurement. Not theory. Not guesswork. Measurement. Whether you’re building a concert hall, developing a medical device, or trying to figure out why your product is failing a noise compliance test, solid acoustic data is where it starts (and often where it goes wrong if you're not careful). Let’s break it all down from what this actually means, to how to do it right, to where you can get expert help if your measurements start looking like spaghetti. What Is Acoustic Measurement, Really? In plain terms? It’s the process of capturing and analyzing sound its level, frequency, duration, and sometimes directionality. But also... its behavior in a space. The way s...
