A new feature called Type Plate has been released. With Type Plate, you can easily categorise device information and display stored information. Type Plate lets you keep your focus on the device level without the need to look at the manual as often, as the most common information is available with just a press of the button.

The Type Plate is non-licensable and available for everyone. When making new device levels, inserting the most common information is mandatory. A support article regarding the Type Plate will be available shortly.

Please contact support@distence.fi if you have questions or issues with the Type Plate.

Distence has released brand new exciting features for Condence.

Coe is a powerful machine learning tool that analyses vibration data from sensors installed on industrial equipment. Coe is designed to make the job of maintenance professionals easier and more efficient. It builds on multiple Condence capabilities. It helps automate vibration data analysis, enabling users to detect potential issues and anomalies that may not be detectable through traditional threshold monitoring and gives more lead time to plan and address the budding issues.

Condence Co-engineer is a powerful tool that allows you to monitor your equipment effectively and efficiently. By harnessing the power of machine learning, Coe can detect potential issues and anomalies that traditional threshold monitoring cannot. With Coe, you can reduce downtime, save money on repairs, and increase their overall operational efficiency.

Implementation of Coe on existing installations or installations in progress can be done as a global or asset-specific update that does not require any changes in the field.

The latest feature we developed, Zones follow Alarms, will be added to Condence on 11/04/23! As the name would suggest, now, just by adding alarm levels in Condence, you can have your colour-coded trend metric windows visible. There is no more necessity to publish Zone configurations separately.

If you have two or more alarms overlapping, you may select what Zones you want to view.

The old way of making Zone configurations is not going away. Zones follow alarms is an alternative way to make Zone configurations.

We expect this feature to make using Condence easier and more efficient. Want to learn more? Please get in touch with us at operations@distence.fi.

The Point of Interest feature was just released! With Points of Interest, you can insert manual notes to the Lifeline feature and share information more easily with other users with access to the same device level. This includes, for example:

• Health condition status
• Suggestions
• Planning actions
• Performing actions

If you want to know more about Point of Interest, please contact operations@distence.fi.

The forecast has been renewed and now offers more precise predictions and forecasting suggestions. Using the forecast tool remains the same as it did before, but the predictions given are more accurate.

If you have questions related to this feature, please get in touch with operations@distence.fi.

The Forecast tool used in the Monitoring view has been improved. The Forecast now uses a longer time period and makes the calculations based on the already existing data, thus improving the predictions for the metrics. This improvement is expected to give more insight to the professionals to determine the correct timing for service.

If you have questions related to this feature, please get in touch with operations@distence.fi.

Due to the global component shortage we unfortunately need remove the support for the PT100(RTD) channel support from the T200 and T210 terminals until further notice.

Based on the currently available information the required components are available again from May 2023 onwards.

If you are a user of T200 or T210 and you absolutely need the temperature measurement support, please contact your sales contact.

Distence has released a powerful new feature, Lifeline.

With the Lifeline feature, you are able to get visualised highlights on the events your device is likely to encounter. The Lifeline uses algorithms based on the condition of the device and usage of the device. When combining these together, we are able to make highly complex calculations, and give you the ability to see future predictions even easier than before. Lifeline is usable with alarms, time-to-service features etc.

Contact Distence, operations@distence.fi, for more information regarding the Lifeline feature and see how our latest feature will help you maintain your machinery better than ever before.
