Project context
This project used acoustic monitoring with the equipment listed here. It is included to show the type of industrial application and site involved.
Application
Distributed fibre and contact sensors were used to compare normal and unusual sound patterns.
What a new site should confirm
Performance depends on the equipment, sensor installation, background conditions and available baseline data. A new project needs its own test plan and acceptance criteria.
Planning a similar project
Start with the equipment and operating conditions at your site.
Review access, sensor options, background noise, available condition data and the maintenance question before planning a pilot.
