Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

PROGNOST Systems

  • Nothing about price is published, and because the system is instrumented per machine train, there is no per-point comparison that lets a buyer benchmark it against general-purpose condition monitoring.
  • Installation requires proximity probes, rod position sensors and pressure instrumentation on the machine, which usually means a planned outage and mechanical work before any data exists.
  • The value is concentrated in reciprocating compressors; for general rotating equipment across a whole plant it is a far more expensive route than a broad vibration programme.
  • SIL 3 certification brings the configuration into functional safety scope, so changes to thresholds and logic go through management of change rather than being adjusted by a reliability engineer.
  • The company is small and German-based, so response times and spares logistics for remote sites depend on a partner network rather than a global direct service organisation.

Questions people ask

Is PROGNOST Systems or Schneider Electric EcoStruxure better?
Neither clearly leads. PROGNOST Systems starts at On request and Schneider Electric EcoStruxure at On request, and user ratings are close enough to be indistinguishable. Choose on capability and platform support.
Which is cheaper, PROGNOST Systems or Schneider Electric EcoStruxure?
PROGNOST Systems starts at On request and Schneider Electric EcoStruxure at On request.
Does PROGNOST Systems or Schneider Electric EcoStruxure run on more platforms?
PROGNOST Systems runs on Windows, On-premise. Schneider Electric EcoStruxure runs on Web, Mobile, On-premise, Api.
What is PROGNOST Systems best used for?
PROGNOST Systems is most often used for a refinery hydrogen recycle compressor where an unplanned trip costs more per day than the monitoring system, replacing a separate protection system and a separate condition monitoring system with one sil 3 rated installation, gas transmission stations needing valve and rider ring wear diagnosis without opening the machine, a plant moving reciprocating compressors from time-based overhaul to condition-based intervals with evidence a regulator will accept. Of those, a refinery hydrogen recycle compressor where an unplanned trip costs more per day than the monitoring system and replacing a separate protection system and a separate condition monitoring system with one sil 3 rated installation are not what Schneider Electric EcoStruxure is typically brought in for.
What can PROGNOST Systems do that Schneider Electric EcoStruxure cannot?
PROGNOST Systems covers Segmented vibration analysis, Dynamic rod position, Online pV diagram, Dynamic rod load. Schneider Electric EcoStruxure covers IoT connectivity, Real-time analytics, Energy monitoring, Predictive maintenance.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

PROGNOST Systems: Does it replace the compressor protection system?

It can. PROGNOST-NT is SIL 3 rated for machine protection, which is the main reason sites choose it over advisory-only monitoring.

PROGNOST Systems: Can it be retrofitted to an existing compressor?

Yes, but fitting rod position and internal instrumentation generally needs a machine outage.

PROGNOST Systems: Does it work on centrifugal machines?

PROGNOST offers products for general rotating equipment, but the differentiated diagnostics are for reciprocating compressors.

PROGNOST Systems: Is it available on new Burckhardt machines?

Yes, Burckhardt Compression offers PROGNOST-NT as a factory-fitted condition monitoring option.
