Everyone is talking about industry 4.0, in mechanical engineering and plant construction, too. As a manufacturer of heavy-duty industrial fans and having our own in-house service-team we know our customer’s requests and needs very well. Therefore, we’ve developed our new Smart Fan Monitoring System FANGUARD: an industry 4.0 solution for industrial fans and blowers. FANGUARD is a sophisticated system for monitoring centrifugal fans, 24/7, and is adapted to the customer’s needs.The plant operators profit from better competitiveness by reduction of the maintenance costs, optimisation of maintenance strategy is and downtime prevention. Thanks to easY handling, an intuitive interface and facile machine data read-out, control rounds can be carried out quick and easy. Data are transmitted via Wi-Fi and can be read and valued by mobile devices. Continuous recording and measurement allow rapid troubleshooting, better planning of maintenance works and thus help to avoid standstills. FANGUARD also comes at a low purchase cost.
FANGURAD operates with various probes to measure any kind of machine data.
• Rotational speed
• Viration velicoity
• Pressure
• Temperature
• Volume flow
• Amperage
• Voltage
• Inlet vane control or damper blade position
• Active/Passive probes
• All probes with 0-10 V, 4-20 mA or TTL-output
• Oil status
Many other data points are available.
Mobile devices are connected platform-independently. Thanks to easy mounting and installation and fool proof handling the administration is quickly learned. Installation and maintenance instructions as well as built in constructions are integrated and available at any time. In case of damage, errors are easily fixed, because the service engineer has access to the trend data. But in the best case, errors are prevented and fixed before major damage is caused.
• 24/7-monitoring
• Digital control rounds
• Machine and operating data at a glance
• Digital machine log file
• Usage of statistical functions
• Quick reaction to incidents
• Higher productivity due to optimised maintenance
• Cost reduction thank to downtime prevention
• Quick response to malfunctions
• Digital control rounds
• Important information immediately and paperless
• Access to trend data and usage of statistical functions
• Easy handling of all measured data
• No wiring effort outside of the fan needed
• No need for costly measuring cards
• 3- and 4- wired probes can be omitted
• Integrated own FANGUARD WIFI for data transmission directly on the fan, autonomous use, no existing infrastructure needed
By analysing plant and machine data, FANGUARD allows longer service lived of the fans. The operating performance is increased by optimal exploitation of the residual life, Unnecessary downtimes can thus be avoided an predictive troubleshooting helps to avoid ineffective maintenance works. Data and incidents are collected from various sources and analysed, an alarm is triggered. FANGURAD supports the digital re-equipment of plants, but is also great for the modernisation of existing plant.
• Email notification
• Digital maintenance schedules
• Implementation in existing systems
• Intelligent cloud solutions
• Redundant data saving
• Documentation of spare parts
• Documentation as PDF-file
• Exact analysis by remote function
• Data history for proceeded analysis and trend monitoring
• ModBus TCP/RTU, RS485 interface
• Many other additional options
