Electrical Signature Analysis Tools: Predictive Maintenance Technology
Condition Monitoring Solutions
Condition monitoring for rotating equipment—like electric motors—refers to the process of continuously or periodically tracking the health and performance of equipment to detect early signs of wear, faults, or failures.
In the context of electric motors, condition monitoring typically involves:
Measuring electrical signals (like current, voltage, power factor)
Monitoring vibration, temperature, and speed
Detecting mechanical issues (misalignment, bearing wear, imbalance)
Identifying electrical faults (winding damage, insulation breakdown, power supply issues)
The Artesis e-MCM and AMT Pro are advanced tools for monitoring the health of electric motors and the equipment they drive, such as pumps, fans, and compressors.
The e-MCM is a permanently installed system that continuously monitors for electrical and mechanical faults—without the need for additional sensors—making it ideal for ongoing, facility-wide condition monitoring.
The AMT Pro, on the other hand, is a portable diagnostic device that allows technicians to quickly assess motor and equipment health across multiple sites, helping to identify issues early and prevent costly failures.
Key Features of the amt Pro and E-mcm
Fast On-site Motor testing
When we visit your site, we use the Artesis AMT Pro portable tester to test your motors and other equipment quickly and efficiently. Each test takes just 7 minutes, meaning we can assess multiple machines in a single visit. This minimizes downtime and allows us to address issues without disrupting your operations. The e-MCM offers continuous, ongoing monitoring of critical assts. It is permanently installed and automatically tracks motor health in real time.
Automatic Problem Diagnosis
The AMT Pro doesn’t just test equipment—it gives us detailed reports about your machines' health. It identifies electrical, mechanical, and process-related issues, estimates how long a machine can run before failure, and suggests solutions. This helps us provide targeted recommendations to prevent costly breakdowns.
No Sensors, No Hassle
We connect the AMT Pro directly to your motor control panels without the need for extra sensors. This means less setup time and no interference with your equipment. Even if your motors are located in hard-to-reach places, we can safely and effectively analyze them.
Portable Technology, Professional Expertise
Our technicians use the lightweight and portable AMT Pro to perform field services across your facility. This tool works seamlessly alongside our team's expertise, allowing us to conduct thorough inspections and resolve issues efficiently. This tool is also available for purchase, should you require more regular and site wide testing.
Data-Driven Insights for Long-Term Solutions
The AMT Pro provides us with detailed graphs, waveforms, and reports that we analyze to find the root cause of problems. This allows us to go beyond quick fixes and offer solutions that improve your equipment’s reliability and performance in the long run.
Cloud-Based Reporting
After our visit, all test data is securely stored in the cloud. This enables us to share detailed reports with you and collaborate on maintenance plans. You can access this information anytime to stay informed about your equipment's condition.
