Avoiding unscheduled downtimes with NORD DRIVE MONITOR

NORD extends the service life of systems: With the IIoT solution NORD DRIVE MONITOR, the system supplier of drive technology supports predictive maintenance.

Bargteheide, 2026-11-02

With the NORD DRIVE MONITOR, users can keep track of the operating data of their NORD drive solution. The modular IIoT solution continuously captures phase currents, heat sink temperatures, vibration and further data, and provides reliable real-time information on the drive solution’s state.

The operating data captured in condition monitoring may form the basis for predictive maintenance: Anomalies or wear can be identified at an early stage, maintenance measures can be specifically planned and failures and downtimes are significantly reduced. NORD DRIVE MONITOR can thus extend the service life of machines and systems and streamline production processes and operating costs.

Ready for use with all common IT infrastructures

How NORD DRIVE MONITOR works: The new IIoT solution from NORD gets the condition monitoring data from the drive systems. Drive electronics makes the data obtained available via a data bus. Since all NORD frequency inverters are equipped with an integrated PLC, threshold-based pre-evaluation of the drive and sensor data may take place locally in the drive. The allows for the transmission of relevant data only when needed which in turn reduces traffic.

By means of standard technologies such as MQTT or TimescaleDB, NORD DRIVE MONITOR can integrate its data into higher-level systems. The visualisation on a dashboard takes place via Grafana. The NORD solution’s architecture is furthermore modular and scalable and can thus be adjusted to the respective system size. Provided in Docker containers, NORD DRIVE MONITOR can be used in any IT infrastructure.
