Detailed Review
PROGNOST Systems is a specialist. Its about page says it focuses on reciprocating compressors and gearboxes and that it belongs to Burckhardt Compression AG.
UP! Insight compares operating data across a compressor fleet in a cloud platform, while UP! Detect uses models that learn normal compressor behaviour and highlight abnormal conditions.
Fleet view for compressors
UP! Insight offers real-time monitoring, performance benchmarking between sites and alerts that carry tailored recommendations. It connects to a PLC through a pre-installed PROGNOST-Edge device.
The vendor describes outbound-only connections and IEC 62443 aligned development for cybersecurity.
Failure-based alarms
UP! Detect issues alarms with component-specific recommendations, and regular data reviews by condition-monitoring specialists are part of the offer. The idea is to schedule maintenance on actual condition instead of a calendar.
Machinery protection too
Beyond analytics the range includes PROGNOST-SILver for machinery protection, PROGNOST-NT for online condition monitoring and a wireless option, so protection and prediction can come from one supplier.
Limitations to Consider
The products are for compressors and gearboxes; a plant with pumps, fans and motors needs a broader tool such as Neuron Soundware. The terms page lists a separate PROGNOST Systems Inc. with its own terms, so a customer in North America may contract with a US entity. No price is published.
Who Should Use PROGNOST Systems
Refineries, chemical and gas sites running reciprocating compressors that want a German supplier with a protection and monitoring range.
