Grace Engineered Products Launches Predictive Maintenance System
September 28, 2020
The GraceSense system from Grace Engineered Products helps users find failures before they occur. The system monitors equipment health, provides operational insights and issues remediationinstructions to help increase equipment uptime and reduce maintenance costs. A complete end-to-end solution featuring wireless sensors, configurable hardware architecture, and an intuitive user interface, the Predictive Maintenance System is designed to curb unplanned downtime and provide a swift return on investment.
The initial product offering consists of four unique products and a web-based user interface. The battery-powered GraceSense Vibration & Temperature Node can be deployed onto any rotating equipment to insightfully predict anomalies before they turn into catastrophic failures. The batterypowered GraceSense Temperature Node monitors the surface temperature of any asset. Lastly, the GraceSense Panel-Mount/CloudGate collects data wirelessly from the nodes and transmits to the remote cloud using either an LTE or plant WiFi connection.
When configured as a CloudGate with LTE or WiFi, a Panel-Mount CloudGate can provide support to thousands of nodes within a 30m radius, making the architecture massively scalable. The Panel-Mount Node is easy to configure with a wide selection of inputs, transducers, radios, and power options; these nodes can be mounted in an environmentally rated GracePort housing.
