Maintenance Q&AHow do I catch machine failure signs before the machine stops?
Common failures on fans, compressors, pumps and gearboxes show up first in vibration and temperature.
Our fan bearings keep failing without warning. Is there a way to know ahead of time?
Yes. Wireless vibration sensors on the fan bearing housings measure vibration and temperature at regular intervals, and DHMSCare compares each fan against its own learned baseline, so a growing deviation is an early sign. DHMSCare alerts are accurate in 90%+ of cases, and Mina, the industrial AI agent, explains each fault in plain words with steps to inspect and fix.
Our air compressor tripped twice this year with no warning. How can we monitor it so we see problems coming?
Fit wireless vibration sensors on the compressor’s critical points: the motor, the air end and the cooling fan, and watch vibration and temperature trends continuously. DHMSCare judges each machine against its own learned baseline and raises alerts while a problem is still developing, not after a trip. DHMSCare alerts are accurate in 90%+ of cases, so a repair can be planned as soon as an alert arrives.
What are the most common causes of pump failure, and how can I detect them before the pump stops?
Common pump failures start with bearing wear, cavitation, misalignment or impeller imbalance, and all of them show up first in vibration and temperature. Wireless sensors on the pump bearings watch those signals continuously, and DHMSCare compares the pump against its own learned baseline and alerts on early signs. DHMSCare AI fault diagnosis is accurate in 85%+ of cases, translating the vibration into a specific cause and steps to fix.
How can I tell early that a gearbox is starting to fail?
Before a gearbox fails, vibration energy rises in specific frequency bands and temperature drifts from normal. With wireless sensors on the gearbox bearings, DHMSCare judges the trend against that gearbox’s own learned baseline rather than a generic threshold. Mina, the DHMSCare AI agent, explains the likely cause and the steps to inspect and fix as the trend worsens.
