Viewing sensor data

Viewing sensor data

Sensor data can be viewed in the innius insight app.

To view sensor data in innius Insight, choose the relevant machine and click on the machine tile (1).

 

This will open the machine page. This provides an overview in one place of the machine's status. To access sensors, you can go directly to specific sensors with a cautionary or emergency status by clicking on the arrow (3), or you can view all sensors, by clicking on the 'View all sensors' button. (2), which opens the machine Insight page, providing insight into the sensor data, KPI data and statuses of assigned tasks.


 

 

On the Insight page the sensors are displayed per sensor group, as defined in the innius Admin app. The sensors can be sorted alphabetically or based on their status (4). Besides that the search option can also be used to find a specific item (5). The icons in the tiles (6) show the number of sensors in the sensor group with a normal, cautionary or emergency status.

In the sensor tile (7), you will find the current sensor value and the timestamp corresponding to when that value was received. 

 


 

Clicking on the sensor tile (7) takes you to the sensor details page.

 


The sensor details page has a timeline on the lefthand side, on which comments and events related to the sensor are posted (10). 

The graph in the middle shows the sensor data which is configured using the options above (8), to select predefined periods or a custom selection.
The time selection and whether the data is raw or aggregated depends on what type of sensor data it is. There are two types of sensors:
  • Continuous values, for measurement data. This data is shown according to the table below.
  • Discrete values, where values are limited to predefined options, such as 0 and 1. Only raw data is shown, according to the table below.









It's also important to note that you can zoom in and out of graphs, and the time range and data will update accordingly.

If threshold rules have been configured, these will be shown as a coloured line in the graph. Moving the mouse over a data point on the graph, will display a table of values for that data point.

Each graph has display options (9) where you can turn different views on and off. For example whether you want to see the thresholds on the graph or display shifts.
