Real-life examples where operating hours are decisive for maintenance, planning, and operational reliability.
TimeQeeper is developed for industrial environments where operating hours directly determine maintenance, inspections, and operational reliability. In many organizations,
operating hours are still recorded manually or tracked across multiple systems. This takes time and leads to inaccuracies and limited oversight.
Objective, sensor-based runtime tracking across all assets — independent of machine type or manufacturer.
TimeQeeper records operating hours via a dry contact signal, typically sourced from a current switch or auxiliary relay contact.
Centrifugal pumps, process pumps, slurry pumps, circulation pumps.
Standby pumps are sometimes serviced despite minimal runtime, while duty pumps are maintained too late — increasing the risk of seal failure and unplanned
Automatically record operating hours to schedule seal replacements and bearing maintenance precisely when needed — based on actual usage.
Air compressors, refrigeration compressors, gas compressors.
Filter changes and oil service intervals are not always consistently tracked, especially when compressors are installed across different locations.
Centralize runtime data from all compressors into one dashboard and schedule maintenance based on actual operating hours.
Grabs, mixers, agitators, and other rotating machinery.
Process equipment operates per batch or production cycle, causing maintenance intervals to be estimated rather than measured.
Log actual operating hours via relay or current switch signals and align lubrication and service intervals with real usage.
Hammer mills, crushers, grinding systems.
Heavy-duty equipment accumulates runtime unevenly depending on material flow and shift patterns.
Schedule inspections and gearbox maintenance based on actual operating hours instead of fixed calendar intervals.
Ventilation fans, exhaust fans, cooling fans, blower units.
Distributed ventilation units often lack centralized runtime visibility.
Consolidate operating hours from multiple units into one overview and schedule filter changes and maintenance based on real operating time.
AC motors, servo motors, variable speed drives.
Identical motors operate differently across lines or locations, making maintenance planning inconsistent.
Use a current switch or auxiliary relay to record actual motor operating hours and standardize service intervals based on real usage.
Start tracking actual operating hours with objective sensor data.
Runtime insights. Optimized maintenance.
