SKF Software Makes Sense of Machine Condition Data

The SKF Machine Suite is a comprehensive software solution to integrate inspection, vibration and surveillance data from multiple condition monitoring systems and processes. The software manages data from both portable and online data acquisition devices so that users can consolidate and analyse data and share machine condition information throughout the organisation. 'Machine Suite software provides users a complete maintenance management solution', said Emilio Vargas, SKF Reliability Systems Product Line Manager. 'This flexible approach allows customers who begin a program by performing periodic inspection and analysis to expand as their needs change, by adding new portable or continuous monitoring devices without interrupting their data analysis process or training users on new software'. Vargas continued: 'It is also a very cost effective enterprise solution that saves time and money by providing a fully integrated system for managing critical inspection and maintenance information with limited resources'. Machine Suite integrates data collected using the SKF Marlin Inspection, SKF Microlog vibration analysis and SKF Multilog online Systems. By providing a common software platform, Machine Suite easily allows upgrades, new features and applications to be seamlessly integrated. By using Machine Suite throughout the organisation, a customer is able to present relevant data in a consistent format, yet has flexibility to customise information displays to meet the needs of different departments
