Prove the value of condition monitoring on your own equipment before making a larger commitment.
The Centaur Pilot Program gives your team a practical way to evaluate online condition monitoring using real operating data, real assets, and support from experienced rotating equipment specialists.
A practical way to evaluate Centaur in your operating environment
The pilot is designed to help your team experience the value of continuous condition monitoring before expanding into a larger program. Centaur provides the monitoring tools, software access, and diagnostic support needed to evaluate real equipment health data.
Monitor real assets
Select critical or problematic rotating equipment and evaluate Centaur using actual operating data from your site.
Review trends and alarms
Use EPM PRO to review asset health, alarms, trends, diagnostics, reports, and supporting condition monitoring data.
Build confidence
See whether Centaur provides meaningful visibility and diagnostic value before deciding on a broader deployment.
A complete condition monitoring experience, not a watered-down trial
The pilot is intended to show how Centaur works as a complete monitoring program, including field hardware, software visibility, diagnostic support, and practical reliability insight.
Sensors and gateways
Centaur provides the monitoring hardware required for the pilot scope, including sensors and gateway equipment based on the selected assets and site requirements.
Software visibility
Your team can review asset health, alarms, trends, diagnostics, reports, and equipment condition information inside EPM PRO during the pilot period.
Expert review and context
Centaur specialists help review developing issues and provide practical diagnostic context so your team can understand what the data means.
Findings and recommendations
The pilot can include condition summaries, findings, and reliability-focused recommendations that help your team evaluate the value of a broader program.
Installation guidance
Centaur can support pilot setup, sensor placement, gateway planning, and onboarding so the system is configured correctly from the start.
Clear next steps
At the end of the pilot, your team can review results, lessons learned, and whether a broader deployment makes sense for your facility.
A simple process designed to minimize lift from your team
The pilot process is built to move from asset selection to monitoring quickly, while giving your team enough visibility and support to make an informed decision.
Select pilot assets
Build an asset list and decide where better visibility would be useful, such as critical equipment, bad actors, or assets with known reliability concerns.
Plan deployment
Centaur helps review sensor locations, gateway placement, connectivity options, and any site considerations needed to support a successful pilot.
Monitor and review
Once the system is active, your team can review asset health in EPM PRO while Centaur specialists monitor data and provide diagnostic context.
Evaluate results
At the end of the pilot, review findings, system performance, user experience, and whether a broader condition monitoring program makes sense.
Choose assets where better visibility would create meaningful value
The best pilot candidates are assets where early insight, continuous monitoring, or diagnostic support could help your team make better maintenance and reliability decisions.
Assets with high downtime impact
Pumps, motors, compressors, blowers, or other rotating assets where unexpected downtime would create production, safety, or cost concerns.
Equipment with recurring problems
Assets with repeated repairs, unexplained vibration, bearing issues, seal problems, hydraulic concerns, or reliability history that deserves closer review.
Assets that are difficult to monitor manually
Remote, hard-to-access, continuously operating, or safety-sensitive equipment where periodic manual routes may not provide enough visibility.
Start focused, then expand based on value
A successful pilot does not need to include every asset. A focused group of equipment is often the best way to demonstrate value, validate the workflow, and determine where a larger condition monitoring program should go next.
Start with a focused pilot and let the data guide the next step.
If condition monitoring is being considered for your facility, a pilot gives your team a practical way to evaluate Centaur on real equipment, with real data, before moving into a broader deployment.
