Foreword
OPTIME provides a complete
condition monitoring solution
The OPTIME system from Schaeffler is a complete solution for the
straightforward condition monitoring of a large number of machines.
The concept also renders condition-based maintenance economical
for ancillary equipment, as unplanned downtime can be avoided.
During the development of the system, particular attention was paid
to the very simple commissioning process, smooth expandability
and wide range of possible uses. The outlay on the part of the user
was kept as low as possible for each individual process step.
OPTIME gateway and
OPTIME sensors
The concept features special wireless OPTIME sensors, which com-
bine with the OPTIME gateway to form a mesh network. Another key
element is the service components, which run centrally on the
Schaeffler IoT Hub, which is also where the data are analysed and
the results can be viewed in greater detail. At the same time,
the results are also transferred directly to the OPTIME app.
OPTIME app The OPTIME app shows the machine status directly on site according
to criticality and thus allows optimum planning of maintenance
activities. Each user can adapt the selection of machines to their own
remit and therefore has direct access to all of the necessary
information.
