4. Order the Schaeffler OPTIME system and take advantage of the Albeco FREE diagnostic support.

• Consulting and technical support. Selection of the optimal machine and device diagnostics system based on OPTIME for the client.
• Support in system installation and diagnostic devices assembly.
• Indication of the best measurement locations or the location of the gates.
• Installation of the OPTIME software on mobile devices with user registration.
• We provide training for employees operating the application - system administrator, and optionally full diagnostic training for a larger group of employees.

5. Additional services.

• We offer the possibility of preparing additional monthly or weekly reports summarizing the work of monitored devices.
• We offer additional support in machine health monitoring and devices. In the event of a condition indicating a potential failure, we additionally contact the system administrators.
• We carry out periodic visits to check the state of devices and system operation.
• Ongoing service of the installed monitoring devices and, under the contract, replacement of devices with new ones.

How does the system and its components work?

• Quickly install battery powered sensor on machines.
• Wireless sensors record vibration and temperature for automatic machine diagnostics.
• The gateway receives data from the sensor and forwards it to the cloud.
• Digital services analyze data and report the results for professional evaluation in a convenient way via a smartphone app or PC app.

If the sensor is damaged or is overloaded, the network will correct the connections itself. An unconnected sensor will find a new path to the gate. Structural barriers are not an obstacle.

• Gateway SIM card data costs are included in the monthly charge.
• Monthly subscription to digital service analytics (cloud data).
• The system automatically analyzes the state which is based on vibration.
• Monitored machines are evaluated by the system using automatic, algorithm-based diagnostics.
• The OPTIME application displays alarms and failure causes.
• You only pay for active sensors.
• The sensor is active as soon as Schaeffler Cloud receives measurement data from the sensor.
