InWeb™ Software Services
| Software as a Service
The InSite™ condition monitoring system uses InWeb™ web-based software which is provided as a service. This software collects, stores, processes the data, notifies users through the alert engine, and presents the data for analysis.

InWeb™ delivers the Graphic User Interface to the user's browser upon login. The necessary data is requested from the InSite™ server and database behind the scenes and is streamed to the application. This results in interactive user experience and virtually instant data updates.
The InSite™ application server is the engine behind InWeb™. It processes and stores the data received from InBox™ modules and runs the InWeb™ services and alert engine. Software updates, server maintenance, scheduled backups and other activities to preserve data integrity are performed by InCheck Technologies and included in the service.
With InWeb™, implementing a predictive maintenance program is easy as it does not require investing into a full system and can be implemented on a small scale first. InCheck Technologies offers Pilot Programs to qualified customers. The software services are provided free of charge for the length of the evaluation period. For more information please contact InCheck.
Vibration Analysis in your Web Browser
Waveform Analysis - Visual identification of periodic and transient events in the sensor input signal
Spectrum Analysis (FFT). Data in frequency domain helps to identify fault frequencies and relate them to the corresponding machine component conditions
Analysis in acceleration, velocity, or displacement units. Multiple graphs can be compared for analysis. Interactive cursors and scaling, zoom, and other features
Bearing Signal Enveloping helps in early identification of developing bearing faults
Motor Current Signature Analysis
Early detection of broken rotor bars or cracked rotor endrings using dynamic current spectrum
Identification of stator faults resulting in the opening or shorting of stator phase windings
Monitoring of static and dynamic air gap eccentricity
Diagnostics of motor mechanical problems such as bent shaft and bearing faults
Historical Data and Trend Analysis
Dedicated History tab for analyzing trends
Interactive graph for data search by date and value
Shows average, min and max values on a graph for selected period of time
Various aggregate parameters for trending: Peak, RMS, Crest Factor, Kurtosis, and Band Overalls
Drill down to individual data sets to select them for vibration analysis
Trend lines: linear, logarithmic, and exponential regression curves
Alert Engine
One important function of a condition monitoring system is notifications of users of an abnormal condition using alerts. The alert engine must avoid nuisance calls and not miss the valid ones. InSite™ alert engine has means for achieving both these criteria. To avoid false alerts it uses data smoothing, such as exponential moving average and time windowing, which requires an event to repeat within a short time to register an alert. To avoid missed alerts the system uses dual cycle data collection.
Data for alert generation is collected at shorter intervals than the data collected for storage. After overall values and other aggregate parameters have been calculated and checked against alert thresholds the data is discarded if an alert is not registered. Otherwise the data is stored for further analysis. In case of an alert the system sends an email or an SMS message (text) to the designated personnel.
In addition to email and SMS notifications alert are immediately shown in the Graphic User Interface as colored indicators near the sensor and machine branches within the navigation tree. The system can be configured to require an acknowledgement before the alert marker is removed. Alerts are recorded in the Event Journal along with acknowledgements.
