Industry application
Hydropower: start with the equipment and maintenance problem.
Project examples cover turbine units, transformers, pumps and auxiliary equipment.
Planning questions
What to review before installing sensors
- 01Which equipment, component or route should be monitored?
- 02Which operating states should form the baseline?
- 03Which inspection or condition data can help the team check a change?
- 04Who reviews an alert, and what information is needed before action?
