Hi there,

anyone has ever used vibration online monitoring system made by Alstom Strongwish? need some opinion on it. my management urged me to get those for our turbine vibration online monitoring. I need to know how's its functionality compared to csi 4500 or system one if anyone ever used it. Thanks

Hmmm, I had never heard of it. I googled it and it sounds like it might be close to System 1, but there was not much on the web site about it...

I suppose if you are runnign Alstom machinery there may be an argument to use this system...

Apparently Alstom is either buying or making supply deals with a lot of vibration monitoring vendors.

I have not seen Strongwish in the USA yet. I liked the name and had to look it up!

New company (in ALSTOM group; looks that before it was a Chinese company / Shenzhen). Modern Machinery Condition Management systems have already 5 levels (L1: Transducers, L2: Monitoring and Protection, L3: Diagnostics – Data Acquisition, L4: Diagnostics – Expert Support [and here: L4a: Standard Expert Support, and L4b {more advanced}: Customized Expert Support], L5: Plant / Enterprise Asset Management). New company provides new system – therefore, nobody can evaluate its real value. But based on available descriptions the system can cover only 3 bottom levels of the modern MCM. Additionally its architecture on the L2 is a distributed one what does not help to build more advanced diagnostics over.
If You need more advanced one and guaranty of long time operation (+ support!!!) go to BENTLY SYSTEM 3500 + SYSTEM 1.

Sounds a bit like a sales pitch....
