1.4. Introduction
ONEPROD NEST ANALYST is a multi-technique information System devoted to predictive maintenance
and allowing for the acquisition of vibration, process, oil or thermographic measurements in order to
identify or predict the occurrence of problems on a wide variety of industrial rotating machines. The aims
of such software are:

 Avoid unexpected equipment breakdowns
 Plan shutdowns
 Decrease maintenance and repair costs

For many years now, our Service Department has performed numerous expert evaluations and is in
charge of the maintenance of hundreds of machines in various domains of activity, such as the
automotive industry, energy, and paper mills. The primary specification around which ONEPROD NEST
ANALYST was developed was to meet the requirements of our field engineers and operators.
ONEPROD NEST ANALYST is a new generation maintenance System. As such, it includes a self-
diagnosis module based on alarms (OK, ALARM, DANGER) resulting from the monitoring of several
parameters. Each parameter gives information on the equipment status, resulting in a global diagnosis of
the equipment each time a control is performed and thus helping the operator to issue the final diagnosis.
Given the strategic importance of internal corporate communication, ONEPROD NEST ANALYST offers
a complete range of tools to access, analyse and circulate maintenance information to all interested
persons in the company: web/intranet access, reporting, email, etc.

1.5. Main new functions of version 4.7.2
