ConditionAssistant
Machine diagnosis and support at the touch of a button – now a reality thanks to the Schaeffler ConditionAssistant
Schaeffler’s new ConditionAssistant app is available free of charge and makes machine diagnosis easy:
By simply recording the noise of the machine using a smartphone, answering a few additional questions, and pressing the button, the user receives an initial assessment of the machine’s condition – quickly, easily, and for every manufacturer. Nothing could be simpler.
To allow machine temperatures to be determined easily and without contact, the ConditionAssistant app can be used to scan Schaeffler temperature measuring strips with a smartphone. Based on the serial number on the temperature measuring strip, the machine being monitored can also be clearly identified and automatically selected in the app.
Procedure:
- The user is asked to provide their individual impression (what they see, hear, and feel) and three to five machine-specific parameters
- They then receive the diagnosis results directly
Results:
- An overview of potential machine defects (with weighting) such as imbalance and bearing damage
- Context-based service and product proposals
- Schaeffler’s service experts can be contacted directly
