Condition monitoring
Condition monitoring of your injection moulding machine with e-connect.monitor
Condition monitoring allows you to monitor the condition of your injection moulding machine during operation. The remaining service life of the components can be predicted thanks to regular wear measurement. This helps you avoiding unplanned downtimes. It means also giving you time for predictive maintenance and for ordering spare parts in advance.
Your advantages with the ENGEL condition monitoring solution
Condition monitoring involves checking key machine components directly on site and recording the relevant data. If component wear is checked at regular intervals using condition monitoring, the wear trend can be assessed and the remaining service life of the components reliably predicted. Following a measurement, you will receive a detailed report with all the results. This allows you to plan the replacement of components in good time – before unplanned downtime occurs.
With condition monitoring, preventive maintenance is replaced by predictive maintenance - for the need-oriented instead of regular replacement of wear parts. This saves time and costs. You have control over planned shutdowns and can adapt maintenance timeslots more flexibly to your needs. Downtimes are thus noticeably reduced and the service life of critical machine components is fully utilised.
The prediction of the remaining service life of components, thanks to condition monitoring, supports you in ordering spare parts in a timely manner. Targeted spare parts ordering allows you to make optimal use of your warehouse capacities. When it comes to the maintenance or repair of machines, you can find the availability of spare parts, prices and delivery times, at a glance in the e-connect customer portal. This makes it easier to order the required components for maintenance in time. In addition, this enables you to have an overview of the complete service history of your equipment.
It is no longer necessary to stop your injection moulding machine to carry out wear measurement and inspection on process-critical components. Your production runs uninterrupted, the condition monitoring of the wear components happens automatically in the background.

Condition monitoring without interrupting production
It is no longer necessary to stop your injection moulding machine to carry out wear measurement and inspection on process-critical components. Your production runs uninterrupted, the condition monitoring of the wear components happens automatically in the background.
I will be happy to advise you on your options in the field of condition monitoring and predictive, condition-based maintenance.

What our customers say about the condition monitoring solution
 "Wilhelm Raber | Praher Plastics Austria")
In the past, we had to take a lot of time to remove the screw. Now the measurement only takes 15 minutes and we don't have to shut down the machine.
 "Josef Fröschl | Schöfer")
With the condition monitoring system e-connect.monitor, we can forecast the remaining service life of our screws. This gives us the opportunity to plan better and avoid plant shutdowns.

How does e-connect.monitor work?
Connectivity and data management for condition monitoring of your injection moulding machine
Due to the comprehensive linking and networking of technologies, the topic of data security is increasingly coming to the fore. With ENGEL, your data is in the best hands: Our system architecture meets the latest security standards - you have complete control and transparency over the data connections as well as the transmitted data. A hardened operating system is used to operate the EDGE Device. All systems used are subjected to regular security tests and access is restricted to employees authorised by you.
 "Hannes Zach | ENGEL")
We are continuously expanding the range of applications for our condition monitoring solution. e-connect.monitor can now also analyse the wear of barrier screws and make reliable statements about their condition.
