Plant-wide
condition monitoring

Comprehensive monitoring of asset
condition requires flexible connectivity,analytics, and visualization capabilities
to enable world-class reliability strategies.
Bently Nevada’s data-driven solutions
enable smarter decisions to avoid
downtime while improving safety andasset life.

Unexpected downtime has
major cost consequences

The examples to the right highlight the cost ofdowntime for single-stream process operators,
and the importance of condition monitoring
across the full spectrum of asset criticality.

THE BENEFITS OF CONDITION MONITORING
Identify machine
challenges

Recognize root-cause
failure mechanisms

Identify damage• As soon as it happens• Well before functional
failure• In progress• At the earliest possible
opportunity

Provide data to help answer

Enhanceplanning• What’s wrong?
• Can I continue to run?
• What do we need to do about it and when?

CONNECT, ANALYZE AND VISUALIZE
System 1 is a comprehensive condition monitoring
solution for assets across the entire spectrum ofcriticality. It enables condition monitoring frommachine protection hardware, scanning systems,
wireless and portable data collectors—and brings
the data together into a single analysis platform
while providing clarity and context through its
powerful diagnostic HMI views.

It collects and analyzes plant-wide CM data,empowering operators to:• Make more informed, proactive decisions
on individual machine maintenance• View a holistic health report ofinterconnected factory equipment• Reduce downtime and improve overallplant ROITOTAL ASSET COVERAGE IN ONE VIEW

Data visibility with context and clarity is agame changer. System 1 simplifies data by
bringing together multiple collection methods
and systems, including:• Online systems that collect data
continuously• Scanning systems, including wireless, thattake data periodically• Portable data collection for large numbersof less critical machinesYour priorities:
Difficult to planand execute
without data

PORTABLE SOLUTIONS• Human element—see, touch, smell• Periodic measurements• Economical for a large number ofassets
WIRELESS CM• Simple to deploy• Fast to expand• Cost effective
WIRED CM
• Highest point counts and sensors• Fastest sampling rates• Protection capable

Wireless capabilities are transforming
plant-wide monitoring solutions.
Sensors can be added to any asset tocommunicate over a wireless network
back to the software program.
We use wHART protocol to keep assets
online and monitored around the clock.
Wireless for: online, semi-continuous
data, low-to-medium-risk assets, andflexible deployment
Portable for: handheld analyzers andcollectors for periodic and route-based
monitoring
