ITM Presents Industrial IOT Edge Nodes at NIWeek 2017 Keynote

Watch ITM’s Ryan Welker on stage at NIWeek 2017 Day2 Keynote as he describes the advantages of using the new NI Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) technology.  The TSN technology he describes is embedded in the new CompactDAQ chassis (cDAQ-9185 and cDAQ-9189),  which are compatible with ITM’s iTestSystem software.  iTestSystem enables users to integrate these new devices into intelligent edge solutions.  Visit iTestSystem.com for more information about iTestSystem and Industrial IOT.

Save steam costs with new ITM technology – SFD

With steam costs reaching an estimated $5,600 a day — or roughly $2 million a year — for sootblowing operations in a single boiler, imagine the savings plant operators could achieve by optimizing sootblowing.

Sootblower Fouling Detection (SFD) is a new ITM technology for identifying when and where to clean boiler steam tubes.  Learn more about SFD by watching this video.

Fouling Detection with ITM’s Clinker Detection System (CDS)

Wasting sootblower steam because you don’t know where your boiler is fouling? We can help.  Watch this video to learn more about ITM’s Clinker Detection System (CDS).

iTestSystem: TestView Plus

Watch this video to learn how to plot data in TestView Plus.  TestView Plus is the tdms data graphing and analysis application for iTestSystem.

iTestSystem: Running MultiDAQ

Watch this video to learn how to collect data, configure real-time data graphs, and view sensor data in the iTestSystem MultiDAQ application.

MultiDAQ is the configurable iTestSystem data acquisition and logging application.  Users can start and stop data collecting manually or with sensor threshold triggering. All data collected with MultiDAQ is saved in standard tdms file format.

Webinar Video: ITM Shares MultiDAQ Configuration Tips

Our second monthly Webinar at ITM focused specifically on how to configure the MultiDAQ plugin for our iTestSystem software. Two of our engineers — Chase Petzinger, a software developer, and Todd Holtkamp, a field test engineer, hosted the free online demo on Oct. 2, 2014, to walk users through exactly how to configure ITM’s custom product when using National Instruments MAX hardware.

As you can see in the archived video, they also covered how to create a MultiDAQ session, how to create a task, how to enable synchronization, how to select specific hardware and channels to record data and, finally, they gave some tips for setting up file settings. As usual, we finished off the Webinar by allowing those who joined the GOTO Meeting session to pose specific questions.

Stay tuned for news of our next Webinar so you can join us live.

ITM Uses 3D Printing to Improve Wireless Torque Measurement Designs

3D Collar Drill Press

One of the ways ITM sets itself apart is that our engineers don’t flinch when it comes to finding creative ways to make tough measurements.

For example, as you can see in this video, we have begun using our in-house 3D printer to customize plastic collars — embedded with sensors and transmitters — which allow us to wirelessly measure torque on rotating machinery.

In this example, we’re recording a signal as the drill bit enters the wood, but the same solution allows us to model and print a larger fixture to measure the stresses on an industrial drive shaft or other piece of rotating equipment.

Where once we might have turned to an area machine shop to mill a similar type collar, we can now model an even more precise tool and print it out overnight — saving valuable time and at a fraction of the cost.

3D Printing is just one more example of how ITM uses cutting-edge tools and new technology to solve problems.
