Maintenance Q&AHow do I catch machine failure signs before the machine stops?
Common failures on fans, compressors, pumps and gearboxes show up first in vibration and temperature.
Our fan bearings keep failing without warning. Is there a way to know ahead of time?
Yes. Put wireless vibration sensors on the fan bearing housings to measure vibration and temperature at regular intervals. DHMSCare compares each fan with its own baseline, so a growing change shows up as an early warning. DHMSCare alerts are accurate in 90%+ of cases, and Mina, the industrial AI agent, explains each fault in plain words with steps to inspect and fix.
Our air compressor tripped twice this year with no warning. How can we monitor it so we see problems coming?
Put wireless vibration sensors on the compressor’s critical points: the motor, the air end and the cooling fan. DHMSCare tracks each machine’s vibration and temperature trends against its own baseline and raises an alert while a problem is still developing, not after a trip. DHMSCare alerts are accurate in 90%+ of cases, so you can plan the repair as soon as an alert arrives.
What are the most common causes of pump failure, and how can I detect them before the pump stops?
The most common pump failures start with bearing wear, cavitation, misalignment or impeller imbalance, and all of them show up first in vibration and temperature. Wireless sensors on the pump bearings take regular readings of both, and DHMSCare compares the pump with its own baseline and alerts on the early signs. DHMSCare AI fault diagnosis is accurate in 85%+ of cases and turns the vibration into a specific cause and steps to fix.
How can I tell early that a gearbox is starting to fail?
Before a gearbox fails, vibration energy rises in specific frequency bands and the temperature drifts from normal. With wireless sensors on the gearbox bearings, DHMSCare judges the trend against that gearbox’s own baseline, not a generic threshold. As the trend worsens, Mina, the DHMSCare industrial AI agent, explains the likely cause and the steps to inspect and fix.
