Systems and methods for monitoring of mechanical and electrical machines

A system for continuously monitoring at least one machine comprising:

• at least one magnetic sensor sensing magnetic field emission intrinsically generated by operation of at least one machine and outputting magnetic field emission signals corresponding to said magnetic field emission;
• at least one vibration sensor sensing vibrations arising from said at least one machine and outputting vibration signals corresponding to said vibrations, said sensing of said vibrations being performed synchronously with said sensing of said magnetic field emission;
• a signal analyzer receiving at least a portion of said magnetic field emission signals and said vibration signals, performing phase analysis of said magnetic field emission signals in order to extract a phase of said magnetic field emission signals, and analyzing said vibration signals with respect to said phase extracted from said magnetic field emission signals,
• said signal analyzer providing an output based on said analysis, said output comprising an indication at least of the presence or absence of at least one fault of said machine;
• and
• a control module receiving said indication and, in a case of said indication indicating said fault to be present, initiating at least one of a repair event on said at least one machine, an adjustment to a maintenance schedule of said at least one machine and an adjustment to an operating parameter of said at least one machine based on said indication.
