The data from the assets can be gathered by the existing SCADA and PLC systems and stored in a local (corporate network) or public (accessible via internet) cloud. But in some cases real machine data is necessary for detailed monitoring, protection and diagnosis. In that case additional sensors are needed, directly mounted to the machine or component and gathered with dedicated high speed data acquisition systems. That is what we as Gantner Instruments understand as analog big data.
Our monitoring systems with its high speed, robust and reliable data acquisition devices can do what normal SCADA or PLC systems are not designed for: gathering real analog data with sampling rates as high as necessary for detailed asset analysis but as low as feasible to safe storage capacity. With its in-build smart raw data trigger and real-time trend parameter evaluation in combination with the distributed system design a very cost effective monitoring solution is available.
With just three steps our customers are able to take up the challenge and make their assets smart. Gantner Instruments can provide equipment and support customers in:
- machine and sensor selection of monitoring
- definition of data acquisition devices and system design
- setup of local or public cloud and software configuration for data analysis
For all steps dedicated sensors, DAQ devices, cloud system and software is available. Also appropriate interfaces to industrial cloud system like GE’s PREDIX or Siemens MindSpehere are possible. Combined with the experience of engineers in system design, support and data analysis, Gantner Instruments can be your partner facing the challenge with big analog data.

De nombreuses raisons justifient un système de mesure flexible et robuste qui doit être facile à transporter pour collecter des données de mesure à différents endroits. Il peut s'agir, par exemple, de mesures à court terme sur des machines ou des composants d'usine lors de la mise en service après un entretien, ou de mesures récurrentes sur des ponts ou d'autres ouvrages d'art.

Temperature measurement is one of our key competence areas. Here we maintain a position of global leadership. Our advanced 4-channel Q.bloxx A105 measurement module sets new standards in terms of stability and precision. For many different applications, the extremely precise and stable measurement of temperatures is an absolute prerequisite for the control of processes or the success of product innovations. In addition to the essential precision, particularly important aspects of this are the maintenance of stability when changes occur in the ambient temperature and ensuring long-term stability.
