Description

The MS-2234 is a tablet-based route data collector software that allows connectivity with different Condition Based Monitoring devices, such as wireless accelerometers, thermal image cameras, ultrasonic devices, etc. It also allows to perform visual inspection tasks using the tablet's camera and manual data entry.

The MultiSens Cloud platform allows the creation of routes and interaction with the MS-2234 App. Data from each route can then be uploaded to the cloud platform for trending, analysis and Reporting. See more details of the MultiSens Cloud platform in the MS-Cloud Documentation.

This section will focus on the visual inspection methods.

Routes Dashboard

Navigating the Route

  1. The left Panel buttons will allow the user to select different CBM methods (from top to bottom: Ultrasonic, Annotations, Asset Diagram, Vibration, Photo & Thermal Imaging.

  2. The right panel will allow the following options: from top to bottom: 'M▶︎' move to next Machine, 'P▶︎' advance to next Route Point, 'Magnifier' view collected data, 'Hamburger Menu' opens a pop-up with the list of points (see item 3 below), '◀︎M' move to previous Machine, '◀︎P' go to previous Route Point

  3. Pressing the hamburger menu button on the right panel will open a pop-up with the list of all route and off-route points. The user can search or scroll to any point and jump directly to it. This is the only way to access the off-route points.
