In contrast to conventional condition monitoring, there is no need to record reference curves with this software, which makes it suitable for changing curve profiles such as those that occur during a format change. In combination with conventional condition monitoring, existing reference curves can be transformed into new curve profiles, without any need to teach in a reference curve again.
Advantage: No wear is taught in.
