3 Introduction
The ability to determine the current running condition of equipment and
whether service or maintenance is necessary is paramount to keeping plant
and processes running efficiently and cost effective. Having this overview
whilst at your desk or on your mobile device without needing to collect data
from the process floor increases plant safety.
The Alfa Laval CM Connect is a compact, easy to use, cloud-based gateway
which allows the user to connect and remotely monitor the condition and
changes in running behaviour of rotating equipment. Providing users via built-
in wireless cellular technology with easy, safe data, accessed remotely from a
PC or handheld mobile device to enable them to optimise their process
uptime, assist in maintenance scheduling and efficiency and reduce operating
costs.
The Alfa Laval CM Connect is used as a gateway for up to 10 Alfa Laval CMs
connected within Bluetooth range.
All data and alerts are stored in the cloud and can be accessed for easy
record keeping and troubleshooting.
In addition, unique identification can provide the user with service data of the
equipment and contacts of service partners to ease the maintenance process,
ensuring asset value, total cost of ownership and process continuity.
