Unraveling the terminology and meaning of safety integrity level and functional safety in rotating equipment
Practical experiences with Fuzzy Logic and Neural Networks
Insight into the basic techniques and special challenges associated with the application of automatic diagnosis to reciprocating compressors
PROGNOST Systems offers the world´s leading technologies for gapless and automated diagnoses of Rotating Equipment. Deep Learning methods such as Neural Networks combined with Fuzzy Logic provide real-time and self-learning failure pattern detection of critical assets.
This system is proven reliable and supports all global players in the refining, gas- and petrochemical industry for more than 25 years.
Our systems provide actionable information instead of data, based on:
We define “Intelligence on Duty” by using this philosophy either way: the permanent integration of user requirements and practical experience leads to state-of-the-art technology. This continuous improvement process ensures that PROGNOST products and services will continue to meet the ever increasing expectations of our users.
We will help you assess the profitability of a PROGNOST® installation based on your own machine and operation data. In most cases, the purchase price is recovered within just a few months. We guarantee a realistic review, based on real-world data, accumulated from hundreds PROGNOST® installations worldwide.
PROGNOST®-NT is the world’s leading diagnostic system that uses Neural Networks and Deep Learning technology for automated Failure Pattern Recognition of Rotating Equipment. More than 20.000 sensor samples per second are analyzed automatically in real-time. The system provides actionable clear text messages to operators, indicating the affected components, the failure mode and the percentage of failure severity.
PROGNOST®-Predictor uses the patented Confidence Factor and Two Factor alarm logic to detect failures in Roller Bearings and complex gearboxes. Combining all of the PROGNOST®-Predictor capabilities results in optimal health of your machine and supports you to get your Preventive Maintenance becomming Predictive Maintenance management.

A collection of remarkable engineering and commissioning projects Anyone who decides to introduce a condition monitoring system begins an extensive project. Because it is not only the technology itself that determines the success of the project, but also the customer-specific design, installation and commissioning. On the basis of some interesting examples we would like to […]
Our new video series deepens your knowledge for Predictive Maintenance and understanding of Online Machine Monitoring.
In December 2007, the online monitoring system avoided a major and cost-intensive damage at one compressor. The permanent piston rod position monitoring detected a cracked respectively a virtually broken piston rod at the 1st stage. Prior to a complete rod failure, the machine had been automatically stopped and costly consequential…
The only way to ensure safe, reliable, efficient and economical operation of reciprocating compressors is to monitor them continuously and to take appropriate action based on the information the monitoring systems provide. That simple objective, however, is difficult to put into practice. The variety of instruments, systems and methodologies for…
In the process industry, it is still common that users strictly separate machine protection equipment from condition monitoring. Machine operators frequently face a time-consuming troubleshooting based on minimum diagnostic data e.g. from the DCS system. For many years, flight data recorders have been a common standard in the aviation industry…
Modern, online diagnostic and monitoring systems are great things to have for safe and reliable machinery operation. Condition based maintenance, increase of uptime, efficient repairs and short MTTR with maximum MTBM – all these concepts and goals can be realized with state-of-the-art technologies and services.
The PROGNOST®-Predictor was showing several impacts in the tie waveform of a 24' Raymond gearbox. This was a first indication of a tooth problem on one of the gears. After several other analysis work the failure was localized and later findings inside of the gearbox showed the high accuracy of…
It is essential that the monitoring technology of your machinery is always up-to-date. The software upgrade of your PROGNOST®‑Predictor software delivers all advantages of our ongoing product developments.
PROGNOST Systems was the only vendor who was able to proof the system capabilities and customer satisfaction through reference visits on site of existing customers
In the past we had some big incidents with this gearbox because it was very difficult to analyze the vibrations with spot measurements. The PROGNOST® system has proven itself as a very reliable monitoring system!! Also the open communication with the PROGNOST team and Coperion was a big plus in this case. This way, I want to let you know that we appreciate the open communication, involvement and quick response from PROGNOST ….!
Through the automatic shutdown function PROGNOST®-NT has avoided serious damage at the monitored compressor. The system payed off within nine months
All in all $250 million comparable to two line cleanings (plus labor and lost production) have been saved through the PROGNOST System. Made possible by the early failure detection module of PROGNOST®-NT.
We got the PROGNOST® system for safety reasons, but it has saved on preventive maintenance costs, too
PROGNOST® systems are used in several refineries for higher safety and reliability of our compressors. The diagnostic services further enhance the benefits and contribute towards higher availability
Over the years, the PROGNOST® system has been proven to be highly reliable and added of us a new dimension in diagnosing the equipment
Since 1992 we have made use of the PROGNOST®-NT for continual online monitoring of 10 reciprocating compressors. PROGNOST Systems is an absolutely reliable partner for us.
PROGNOST®-NT avoided five unnecessary shutdowns. Saving are approximately $ 350,000 in maintenance cost and lost profits
The savings resulting from the installation of the first PROGNOST® systems are measurable and the investment has proved to be profitable within a very short time
PROGNOST system has been very effective both as monitoring, protection system apart from providing complete diagnostics using a array of features and tools.
This failure could not be detected by the normal method of valve cover temperatures / craftsmen experience. Only an online system like PROGNOST® could detect it in the early stages of failure
