PROTOR : Vibration Condition Monitoring
Without health information on primary equipment such as turbines, pumps and associated equipment, impending faults go unnoticed and develop into conditions that result in failures. Failures may lead to unscheduled outages or more serious equipment damage with consequent loss of revenues. PROTOR is a complete condition monitoring package that can detect and warn of impending failure or conditions that require attention.
PROTOR Knowledge Base
Prosig have a number of years experience in Signal Processing
and also in the use of Linux, Ethernet, X-Windows, embedded
processing and similar technologies. Look here for a number
of articles, documents and notes on a variety of topics
associated with PROTOR and the use of Linux for remote
monitoring applications within industrial environments.
