Getting started with Amazon Monitron
Welcome to the Amazon Monitron Getting Started Guide.
Amazon Monitron is an end-to-end system that automatically detects abnormal behavior in industrial machinery, enabling you to take proactive action on potential failures and reduce unplanned downtime. It includes sensor devices to capture vibration and temperature data, a gateway device to securely transfer data to the AWS Cloud, the Amazon Monitron service that analyzes the data for abnormal machine patterns using machine learning, and a companion mobile app to set up the devices and track potential failures in your machinery. Reliability managers can quickly deploy Amazon Monitron to easily track machine health of industrial equipment such as such as bearings, motors, gearboxes, and pumps without any development work or specialized training.
This guide explains the basic steps to get started with Amazon Monitron:
-
Setting up a project—This provides the framework for the rest of your team to monitor your equipment. It uses the Amazon Monitron console and will probably only need to be done occasionally, or even just once, depending on the number of projects you choose to have. All other tasks are done through the Amazon Monitron mobile app.
-
Adding assets and installing devices—All of these tasks are done using the mobile app. It's a major activity at the beginning of the project. You can add a few assets and install just a few devices at first, and then come back to it with additional assets later on.
-
Understanding alerts—This is the daily use of Amazon Monitron and is done using the mobile app. It consists of daily monitoring, as well as the tasks that have to be dealt with when Amazon Monitron discovers a possible machine abnormality.
