Amazon Monitron concepts

An Amazon Monitron implementation is structured in the following way:

PROJECT → SITE → ASSET → SENSOR → POSITION

The following table explains the Amazon Monitron concepts and terminology you need to know to get started with Amazon Monitron:

Concept name	Concept definition	Key facts	Common users
Project	Where you set up the gateways, assets, and sensors used by Amazon Monitron Captures details of Amazon Monitron detected machine abnormalities that can lead to equipment failure	Resources can't be shared between projects Can only be created on the Amazon Monitron console Can only be created and managed by IT managers or users with access to the Amazon Monitron console	IT administrators/managers
Site	A collection of assets, gateways, and sensors that share a purpose Used to organize projects to make them easier to manage	Helpful for organization if your project has a large pool of assets, gateways, and sensors Can be used to control access and permissions Can create up to 50 sites within a project and add up to 100 assets and 200 gateways to each site Must be a project-level admin user to add a site to a project Can be configured using both the mobile and web app	IT administrators/managers Reliability managers
Gateway	Wi-Fi or Ethernet devices that transfer the data collected by Amazon Monitron senors to the AWS Cloud.	Helpful for keeping track of whether sensor data is being correctly transferred to the Cloud. Must be commissioned using the mobile app	Reliability managers Technicians
Asset	The pieces of equipment on your factory floor Can be: individual machines sections of a large piece of equipment part of an industrial process any element of your manufacturing model	Basis for viewing the health of your machines Amazon Monitron sensors are paired to assets and their parts Can place sensors on up to 20 positions on an asset Can be configured using both mobile and web app	Reliability managers Technicians
Sensor	Collects temperature and vibration data from your equipment Amazon Monitron uses the data to detect developing issues	Can place sensors on up to 20 positions on each asset Can be assigned a machine class corresponding to the machine part it's placed on Can be configured using mobile app only	Technicians Reliability managers
Position	The place on the asset where you mount a sensor Important for collecting and analyzing data	Can place sensors on up to 20 positions on each asset Positions on the same asset can be assigned different machine classes for a fine-grained view of machine health Important If you have complex machinery with more than one potential point of failure, we recommend that you collect data from multiple positions.
