Real-Time Machine Operations Monitoring

Managers and supervisors need access to real-time operational data during machine operations for safety, efficiency, accuracy, and quality control. Real-time machine operations monitoring also makes it easy for team members to communicate and collaborate. This communication channel enables them to swiftly respond to evolving situations and make well-informed decisions.

KEYENCE’s flexible real-time data acquisition systems (DAQ) are designed to help industrial manufacturers monitor equipment use by logging and analyzing important parameters such as pressure, temperature, force, and vibration.

Why Choose Our Real-Time Monitoring Solutions?

At the core of KEYENCE hardware offerings are flexible machine monitoring systems with adjustable parameters and thresholds. During water treatment operations, for example, understanding pressure, flow and temperature help prevent failures that could have been prevented if there was access to real-time and accurate data.

Flexibility also means the ability to integrate monitoring machine operations in real-time solutions with other sensors or capturing devices. KEYENCE data acquisition systems like the NR-500 Series can log measurement data from across channels and be paired with different sensors and devices as needed for reliable, high-speed measurements.

With eight data type measurements our systems can capture temperature, strain, pulse, voltage and more. Data retrieval has never been easier with our machine monitoring solutions. The NR-500 Series multi-input data logger can be directly connected to a PC. In monitoring situations where bringing a PC onsite is impractical, the NR-X solution is portable, utilizing an onboard battery pack and SD card for data storage. Data retrieval is just another of the many benefits to using our real time machine operations monitoring.

Features of Our Real-Time Monitoring Systems

KEYENCE DAQ systems come with a range of features, making them indispensable in industrial and production monitoring system controls:

  • High-Speed Data Processing: High-speed data processing ensures that data coming from sensing equipment is captured, processed, and ready for immediate analysis.
  • Low Latency: For applications that demand high precision monitoring, minimal delay between data capture and processing helps managers and operators make accurate decisions.
  • Integrated Signal Conditioning: The internal signal processing function in our solutions turns raw analog measurement data from sensors and other sources into a digital format for data analysis.
  • Multi-Input Channeling: Advanced sync capabilities allow our multi-input DAQ hardware to log and display multiple measurements simultaneously.
