Sensor & Instrumentation Strategy

Practical guidance and templates for selecting signals, placing sensors, choosing sampling rates, and naming tags so IIoT data is reliable and actionable.


Reference

Sensor Tagging & Naming Convention Template

A practical tag-naming standard with examples to ensure consistent names, units, sampling rates and ownership across IIoT and MES.

Sensor Selection & Placement Guide for Practical Predictive Maintenance

Practical patterns and checklists for choosing which signals matter, where to place sensors, how to pick sampling and buffering strategies that balance fidelity with cost, and how to validate signal health during pilots and rollouts so PdM teams can trust and act on IIoT data.

Tool

Sensor Selection & Placement Matrix

A practical, copy-ready matrix and guidance to help teams decide which signals to capture, appropriate sampling strategies, mounting and wiring notes, tag naming conventions, validation checks, and rollout checkpoints for reliable IIoT data.

Tool

PdM sensor & signal selection matrix

An interactive mapping form and template to capture asset failure modes, recommended sensors, mounting guidance, sampling and preprocessing choices, tag naming, and estimated data needs. Standardizes PdM selections, saves mappings for pilots and rollouts, and stores results for integration with MES/SCADA and analytics.
