OPTIME is an easily scalable system that consists essentially of wireless, battery powered vibration sensors, a gateway, and an app to visualize the resulting analysis data. The data captured by the sensors are analyzed using specially developed algorithms that draw on Schaeffler's technical expertise, which is developed and refined over many decades. OPTIME provides several weeks' early warning of damage to machine components such as electric motors, fans, and pumps. It also provides early warning of imbalances, misalignments, and knocking.
