WEARwatcher MPU

Integrated analysis unit with accelerometer

Key Features

Breakdown
probabilit

Within the first few weeks of operation, the WEARwatcher builds up a comprehensive database on which it continuously recalculates the current probability of failure. These mathematical operations take place within the device itself, and the result is visualized as the probability of failure in the cloud dashboard.

Duty cycles

Based on the elevator trips taking place, the WEARwatcher continuously calculates the system's utilization. The actual travel time is compared to the total operating time (e.g., a value of 10% means that the elevator is actually in use for 6 minutes every hour).

Ride distance

For each trip, the distance traveled is measured and displayed in the cloud dashboard. The total mileage is also calculated from the accumulated data.

Drive time

For each trip, the actual trip duration is determined and stored in the database for further analysis.

Guides

Continuous vibration and jerk analysis, as well as frequency monitoring, detects specific aspects of the guide rail condition and reports any faults. This includes insufficient lubrication, inadequately machined rail joints, catch marks, etc. The position of these faults is recorded and reported with millimeter precision.

Drive

Many causes of wear and tear and malfunctions in the drive system (such as problems with the frequency converter, problems in the gearbox, etc.) are transmitted to the elevator car via the load-bearing elements.

ø Speed

During movement at a constant speed within each trip, this speed is determined, monitored with limit values ​​and displayed in the cloud dashboard.

Ride quality

With the evaluation rules of the ISO 8100-34 The system's driving quality parameters are calculated and weighted, so that a current driving quality assessment of the system is constantly available and visualized.

Number of rides

The cloud dashboard also provides a total trip counter.

Vibrations

The WEARwatcher vibration sensors are mounted on the elevator car. WEARwatcher satellites can also be used to monitor other parts of the system (such as the machine frame) with vibration sensors. The analyses specifically search for problems and signs of wear affecting the drive, guides, and doors (differentiated between shaft and car doors) and report these via the cloud.

Hoistway doors

Every door movement is evaluated using comprehensive vibration and frequency analyses. This provides a picture of the door's condition and, above all, of any wear and/or contamination on the guides and rollers. By assigning the doors to specific floors and conducting subsequent trend analyses, the WEARwatcher can pinpoint whether problems are occurring at particular cabin or shaft doors and report these specifically to the cloud.

Car doors

Every door movement is evaluated using comprehensive vibration and frequency analyses. This provides a picture of the door's condition and, above all, of any wear and/or contamination on the guides and rollers. By assigning the doors to specific floors and conducting subsequent trend analyses, the WEARwatcher can pinpoint whether problems are occurring at particular cabin or shaft doors and report these specifically to the cloud.

Emergency stop analysis

Emergency stops (regardless of whether they are initiated by the safety device or the machine brakes) are automatically detected by the WEARwatcher and reported to the cloud. Information about the cabin's position in the shaft and the current load is also reported. For forensic purposes, this data, along with maximum deceleration and forces, is also available in the cloud. Advanced analysis options are available via separate Windows PC software.

Vandalism

The WEARwatcher detects atypical driving movements (e.g., bumps or jolts) based on the recorded acceleration and vibration data and interprets them as possible vandalism.
