In industrial and marine environments, the drivetrain is often the most critical — and least monitored — part of the system. Rotating shafts transferring torque through gearboxes, couplings, and propellers generate enormous forces that, left unmeasured, become the root cause of unexpected failures, unplanned downtime, and costly maintenance…
For decades, hardwired data acquisition has been the default standard for industrial monitoring. From strain gauges on structural supports to thermocouples in recovery boilers, running conduit and pulling cable has been considered the “safe”…
Understanding how structures vibrate—and why—is essential across nearly every engineering discipline. Whether you’re working on rotating machinery, industrial equipment, robotics, medical devices, heavy vehicles, consumer products, or building-scale…
The Business Case for ITM’s Sootblower Intelligent Maintenance and Fouling-Directed Cleaning Solutions Executive Summary Sootblowers are essential for keeping recovery, biomass, and power boilers clean and efficient. However, without proper monitoring and maintenance, they can become hidden sources of steam waste, mechanical failures, and even safety risks. Integrated…
Optimizing Pulse Cleaning with ITM’s Patented Vibration-Based Fouling Detection and Fouling Monitoring System Executive Summary Boiler operators are under constant pressure to maximize efficiency, control fuel costs, and minimize downtime. To combat slagging and fouling, many plants deploy high-energy cleaning technologies such as shock pulse, acoustic cleaning, impulse…
Transforming High-Speed Equipment Data into Cloud-Based Intelligence How Structural and Industrial Engineers Can Use iTestSystem & AWS for Trending, Diagnostics, and AI-Powered Insights In today’s demanding industrial environment, structural and industrial engineers must extract meaningful insights from vast amounts of high-speed sensor data. Whether monitoring cranes, engines, off-highway…
Here at Integrated Test & Measurement, we love diving into the nuts and bolts of how things work. While setting up a project using 120-ohm strain gages with the NI-9237 module, I found myself reflecting on the history and technical reasons why 120 ohms became the original standard…
The critical role of vibration monitoring in data centers and factories. The data center and factory backup power markets are experiencing significant growth, driven by the increasing reliance on digital infrastructure and the need for reliable power solutions. The global data center power market is projected to reach…
