NI InsightCM Enterprise is a new software solution that helps companies gain insight into the health of their capital equipment for machine maintenance and operations. It is NI’s first end-to-end software solution that addresses Big Analogue Data challenges and builds on the industrial Internet of Things.

It enables companies to monitor both critical and ancillary rotating machinery, which helps them gain a more holistic view of their fleets and manage operational risk while maintaining profitability and production efficiency.

The enterprise solution solves the data management, data analysis and systems management challenges that are common in Big Analogue Data applications. Its flexibility and open architecture mean it can meet evolving diagnostic program requirements.The software acquires and analyses sensory information, generates alarms and allows maintenance specialists to remotely diagnose machine faults.

Ready-to-run condition monitoring systems based on the CompactRIO hardware platform can acquire from a wide range of sensors for improved fault diagnoses. This hardware and software solution simplifies the configuration of and measurements from thousands of sensors, so users can remotely monitor device health, configure channels and upgrade firmware on deployed systems.

This online condition monitoring solution is ideal for companies in a variety of industries, including oil and gas, power generation, mining, rail and industrial manufacturing, that need to optimise machine performance, maximise uptime, reduce maintenance costs and increase safety.NI says it is cost-effective because it lowers the instrumentation cost for monitoring both critical and other plant equipment at a fleet-wide scale.
