Network centric architecture
| Ease and flexibility of installation
Because the network centric solution utilizes standard infrastructure such as local and wide area networks and the Internet, it allows alleviating such installation expense as long runs of sensor wires that are costly in material and labor.
| Low initial investment
Systems built using network centric architecture are scaleable, so they can be implemented very inexpensively on a small scale first, utilizing available remote data services before investing into a dedicated application data server.
| Easy multi-site integration
For organizations that are monitoring machines at many geographical locations the network centric architecture provides an easy solution that requires a minimal integrating effort. Users will access data through a seamless application from any location
| Easy data access from anywhere
Since the graphic user interface is delivered through an application running in a standard web browser, real time condition monitoring data can be securely accessed from anywhere with an Internet connection. No software installation is necessary on user's computers
| Flexibility of alert distribution
Network centric architecture allows distribution of system events to a media device of choice that may include e-mail, pager, fax, text message, and voice message in addition to immediate visual notifications through the graphic user interface
| Outsourcing of condition monitoring
Easy access to data and analysis tools through the network opens opportunities for utilization of outside services for condition monitoring, from data collection and storage to engineering services. This feature allows maintenance departments to focus on their core activities – planning and implementing maintenance of the equipment.
