MSI Sentry® Automated Diagnostics

Sentry® is an online condition monitoring solution for critical service rotating machinery that provides real time, physics-based diagnostics.  Our physics-based approach is grounded in understanding what is really occurring based on real-time signals from the machine and evaluating these to determine if there is a problem or not. 

Additionally, Sentry® provides a comprehensive environment to interact with sensor signals, perform FFT analysis, compute and trend condition indicators, playback historical data, and track events.

Key Business Benefits
