Interpreting and Checking the Initial Health Report

Updated over a month ago

The Initial Health Report is automatically generated approximately two days after the sensor is installed. It provides a quick and preliminary analysis of the asset's health based on early behavior patterns.

The report is divided into four main sections:

1. Signal Quality

This section assesses the quality of communication between the sensor and the gateway. The value is shown as a percentage, with qualitative labels for easier interpretation:

  • Excellent: > 85%

  • Good: > 70%

  • Medium: > 50%

  • Poor: > 20%

  • Unacceptable: < 20%

This metric helps verify if the sensor and gateway are installed correctly, maintaining the recommended distance between them.


2. Comparison with Similar Assets

This section compares the vibration level of the analyzed machine to the average vibration of other similar machines in Tractian's database.

This comparison helps identify abnormal behavior and potential issues early in the monitoring process.


3. THS-Based Analysis (Tractian Health Standards)

The THS is a health metric developed by Tractian, based on the ISO 20816 standard. It uses historical data from similar assets to detect above-average vibration levels.

  • The chart follows the L2 norm, which represents the vector sum of all three vibration axes.

  • Darker areas on the chart indicate moments when vibration was above the expected average.

  • The "Readings above limit" field shows the percentage of measurements that exceeded the reference level.


4. ISO-Based Analysis

This section compares collected data with the limits defined by ISO 20816, an international standard for evaluating rotating machinery condition.

Important note: This section only appears if the asset type is covered by ISO 20816.


Checking the Initial Health Report

Once the report is generated, you must verify it. The process will vary depending on whether the system suggests configuration improvements.

Case 1: With Suggested Corrections

If the system detects opportunities to improve the setup, the "Suggested Configuration" field will be shown. Follow these steps:

  1. Open the report;

  2. Fill out the three required fields:

    • Do you want to proceed with the suggested configuration? Select Yes or No.

    • Comments: Add any relevant information about the asset.

  3. Click "Check" to complete the verification.


Case 2: Without Suggested Corrections

If no improvements are suggested, simply click "Check" to confirm the report.
