SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MONITORING OF MECHANICAL AND ELECTRICAL MACHINES

A system for continuously monitoring at least one machine including a plurality of magnetic sensors synchronously sensing magnetic fields emitted by at least one machine, the plurality of magnetic sensors sensing the magnetic fields along a corresponding plurality of channels and outputting magnetic field emission signals corresponding to the magnetic fields, a signal analyzer receiving at least a portion of the magnetic field emission signals and performing analysis of the magnetic field emission signals, the signal analyzer providing an output based on the analysis, the output including at least an indication of a condition of the at least one machine and a control module receiving the indication of the condition and initiating at least one of a repair event on the at least one machine, an adjustment to a maintenance schedule of the at least one machine and an adjustment to an operating parameter of the at least one machine based on the indication, whereby efficacy of the at least one machine is improved.
