ONLINE MONITORING OF RECIP MACHINERY
SPOTLIGHT is an automated, continuous monitoring tool that uses magnet-mounted or epoxied PUCs to record an asset’s operational information which is then transmitted via cellular (4G LTE) technology to a cloud based system to efficiently and reliably monitor the health and performance of essential mechanized equipment.
​
Each SPOTLIGHT Monitoring System consists of four PUC (Peripheral Universal Connection) modules that are quickly and easily attached to either a compressor or engine. A single cable routes the sensor signals from the PUCs to the Spotlight Controller. The Controller then wirelessly talks to the Gateway where performance data is collected and uploaded to a database, then transmitted to the analyst’s computer, smartphone or other handheld device.
​
Once the Spotlight system is operational, the PUC Sensors, Controller and Gateway send critical data to specialized interpretive software, where performance and condition-based algorithms perform real-time calculations. Reports on KPl’s and performance alerts can be relayed to the user’s smartphone or other mobile device, anywhere in the world, usually in a matter of minutes.
