Bently PERFORMANCE™

Machine Performance Monitoring Software

Machine Thermodynamic Performance Monitoring

Combining performance and mechanical condition information allows users to improve the reliability, efficiency and profitability of their equipment.

Product Overview

This software product extends the functionality of System 1® to include online thermodynamic performance monitoring of machinery. By integrating with the System 1 database and display modules, Bently PERFORMANCE™ provides comprehensive information on the condition of machines in combined mechanical and thermodynamic formats.

Effective performance management of machinery assets requires a carefully designed system that combines high quality software and system engineering – from sensors to the thermodynamic calculations that provide performance information. This solution provides all of the extra engineering required to ensure that the available thermodynamic performance information meets stringent requirements for accuracy and repeatability.
