1.1 Introduction to the SKF Enlight Collect IMx-1 system
The overall architecture of the SKF Enlight Collect IMx-1 System can be illustrated by
the figure below.

Figure 1
The system consisting of sensors, gateways, analysis and visualisation software and
a mobile application, the Enlight Collect Manager app, provides the opportunity for a
completely wireless architecture at the machinery being monitored.
One gateway and its associated wireless sensors form a communication network.
This may also include relay nodes, essentially sensors that have their measurements
disabled and that are used to support/extend the wireless mesh. A system consists of
the analysis and visualisation software and at least one gateway, although in most
systems, multiple gateways are anticipated. Different gateways might typically be
applied to different machine groups, production processes or physical plant areas.
On a periodic basis, the sensors measure the vibration and temperature of the
monitored machinery, pre-process the vibration signals and transmit all the resulting
data to the gateway. This is then forwarded to the analysis and visualisation software
where the final analysis is performed, and historical data is stored. The analysis and
