PUSH
From sensor data to action
AIDA's platform for intelligent condition monitoring of engines and rotating equipment — built to make advanced monitoring available even on machinery that today has little or no digital follow-up.
Many engines, pumps, fans, gearboxes and compressors are still maintained on fixed service intervals and manual inspections. Parts get replaced before they need to be, while faults can develop between inspections. PUSH is built to give a continuous picture of how the equipment is actually doing.
A PUSH installation is configured to the machine and its application. The sensors can capture vibration and changes in vibration pattern, temperature and how it develops, microphone sound and acoustic changes, running hours, load and usage pattern, air and environmental data around the equipment, and data from the ECU, control system or other available machine sources.
It is the combination of signals that makes the platform useful. A rise in temperature on its own can have many explanations. When it appears together with a particular change in vibration, a new sound signature and higher load, the system has a far better basis for understanding what may be developing.
PUSH first learns how the individual machine behaves during commissioning and normal operation, establishing a dynamic baseline from the measurements, the load and the operating pattern. It then monitors continuously. The system is not only meant to alert when a fixed threshold is crossed — the ambition is to register that the pattern itself is shifting, assess that development over time, and give the user an earlier and more relevant warning.
AI is not meant to replace the engineer or the mechanic. It should reduce the volume of data they have to work through and surface the signals that deserve attention. Professional judgement, safety responsibility and the final decision remain with qualified personnel.
Condition monitoring only has value if it leads to a better decision. PUSH is therefore built as more than an alarm system: the platform connects technical condition with service history, planned intervals, spare parts, cost and logistics. The goal is one coherent picture for the customer — what is the condition, what should be done, when, which parts are needed, what will it cost, and who can carry out the work.
When several identical machines run PUSH, their experience can be compared. If one engine develops a documented fault pattern, the platform can look for early signs of the same development in comparable equipment. Knowledge from a single installation can then create value across several customers and machines.
