ArticlePublished onReading a machine's weak signals before it stops
Mechanical failure rarely arrives all at once. It leaves traces in vibration, ambient conditions and current draw first, provided someone is recording them.
ArticlePublished onMaking an older machine talk without modifying it
An ageing asset base is rarely replaceable, often critical, and almost always without an interface. Fitting it out takes three steps and asks nothing of the IT department.
