A measurement campaign from the edge node
An edge node acquires the load, vibration and temperature of a compressor installed offshore every second, and Muvia analyses them as they arrive. Overlaid load steps and correlations tell you the same day what drives the bearing: the load or the motion of the sea.
Illustrative scenario: it describes a typical case, not a customer project.
A measurement campaign takes days. The answers come weeks later.
When the bearing of a compressor installed on a ship or a platform vibrates more than it should, the manufacturer sends an engineer with a data logger: they record for a few days, take the file home and analyse it at the office. If a signal is missing or another load step is needed, someone goes back on board.
With an edge node on the machine, the signals reach Muvia while the campaign is running. The engineer back at the office sees each step as soon as it ends, overlays them, checks the correlations and asks for the missing test the same day.
- Who it's for
- Machine manufacturers and their service teams, reliability engineers and anyone running field tests on compressors, pumps and motors.

What you get
- Answers during the test
- The data is read while the campaign is running: a missing signal is added before anything is dismantled.
- Fewer trips to the field
- The engineer analyses remotely; on board you only need whoever installs the node and the sensors.
- A cause, not a hunch
- Overlaid steps and correlations separate the effect of the load from that of the environment.
- A report ready for the customer
- Charts, figures and decision sit in a notebook that prints to PDF.
For the technical team
How it is built in Muvia
- 1
Set up the campaign on the node
In the node's configuration you add the drivers, choose the signals and the rate, for example one value per second, and publish. Monitoring tells you whether the node is online, whether every driver is connected and how many samples are arriving.
- 2
Follow the test live
In Analysis the signals appear as they arrive: load, envelope, vibration and temperature on separate panels, with bands where the load is at its maximum.
- 3
Overlay the steps
A condition recognises the 100 % load steps and the Layers view aligns them on their start: you see at once whether the envelope always rises the same way or grows from step to step.
- 4
Isolate the cause
The XY view and the correlation put the envelope against the load and against the roll. A notebook collects the charts and the decision, and prints to PDF for the customer.
- The data it needs
- The compressor's load from its Siemens S7 PLC, one value per second
- Bearing envelope, vibration velocity and temperature from a Modbus TCP vibration module
- The structure's roll from an OPC UA motion unit
- The test schedule, with the load steps annotated on the signals

All use cases- Process quality and traceabilityProcess parameters from the PLC, lots from the line database, orders and scrap from the ERP, all in the same engine. Every lot has its process history, and an alarm goes off when a parameter leaves its window while the lot is being made.
- The control chart that warns you firstWeighings from the checkweigher become an X̄-R chart with 3σ limits and the Western Electric rules, recalculated at every shift change. A worn nozzle shows up hours before the scrap does, and Cpk shift by shift tells you where to act.
- Connected machines for machine buildersEvery machine you sell carries a Muvia node, and every customer gets a company of its own, kept apart from the others. Your service team follows the whole fleet with one login, and each customer gets dashboards and reports on their machine.
