If you are
still using mechanical gauges and wired monitoring devices, you are not
utilizing all the modern resources for diagnostic and condition monitoring. According
to Parker’s recent blog on the subject, the last generation
pressure tracking systems are prone to issues that include providing inaccurate
measurements, damages to the device’s wiring by the machinery, and hand-written
records that lead to human error. Parker’s SensoControl®
product line is a powerful diagnostic solution for pneumatic and hydraulic
applications. And now, one of their most popular devices, ServiceJunior™CONNECT is wireless.

“Diagnosing a problem before it occurs
is the primary objective. For this, having a steady flow of data that can be
analyzed is crucial to help maintenance technicians make informed predictions
of when something needs attention.”
