Abstract
A method and apparatus for monitoring the motion of an oscillating mechanical device using one or more internet of things (IoT) devices. An exemplary method for monitoring an oscillating mechanical device includes collecting motion data from an accelerometer attached to a moving part in the oscillating mechanical device. A power spectrum for the oscillating mechanical device is calculated from the motion data. A mask is applied over the power spectrum to determine if a device is having operational difficulties.
Claims24
