How to work with data from analog sensors

This lesson shows you how to visualize and act on real-time data from your analog sensors in Factbird. You’ll learn how to use trend overlays to combine multiple data sources, making it easier to spot anomalies and understand how different parameters relate to one another.

Factbird’s analog sensor tools work with various inputs, such as vibration and power consumption, giving you flexibility to monitor critical processes. With overlaid trend lines, you can quickly see patterns that aren’t obvious when viewing data in isolation; for example, how changes in vibration correlate with production output or energy usage.

You’ll also learn how to set up alarms to automatically alert you when measurements go outside your defined thresholds.

Factbird’s alarm configuration lets you:

• Define exact trigger conditions, including “greater than,” “less than,” and “sustained over time” rules.
• Set notification intervals to control how often alerts are sent.
• Choose your preferred delivery method, whether by email, SMS, or both.

What you’ll learn:

• Accessing analog sensor data in Factbird and switching between separated and overlaid views.
• Using combined data trends to identify performance anomalies and relationships between parameters.
• Setting up alarms with specific thresholds, rules, and recipients to ensure timely action.
• Managing notification frequency and delivery to suit operational needs.
