MCM has been chosen amongst the 40 best products in the world.

The product called MCM, developed by Artesis, warning about failures before they happen has received the "Editor's Choice Award" by the Control Engineering Magazine published in the USA.

The MCM (Motor Pre-Warning System), developed by Artesis, the technology company of Arçelik, has been chosen amongst the 40 best products of the year 2000 in the world by the Control Engineering Magazine published in the USA.
The product MCM, has received the "Editor's Choice Award".

The editors of the Control Engineering Magazine, who selected the best products of the year 2000 according to criteria like the technological progress, its impact on the market and its benefits to the sector, have classified the awarded products in nine categories. Artesis, who received the award in the 'Motors, drivers, and motion control' category, has shared this award with ABB, Rockwell Automation, and Tol-o-Matick.

"The Editor's Choice" awards organized by the Control Engineering magazine traditionally for 14 years, have found their owners at the National Manufacturing Week. The MCM Project Leader Mehmet Kemal Göbülük, who participated in the Awards Ceremony held in Chicago, has received the award on behalf of Artesis.

Ahmet Duyar, the General Manager of Artesis, referring to MCM's being among the best products of the world, continued his speech:

"Artesis has taken it as a mission to develop the technology in Turkey and to present it to the world markets. As you all know, the TUBITAK-TTGV-TUSIAD technology prize was granted to our product MQM in 1998, and last year, our product, MCM, was among the finalists. This award our MCM received in the USA today, has strengthened our belief in our future success in the world markets."

Ahmet Duyar emphasized that in the information age, developing new technologies is one of the most significant factors that raise the level of welfare of the countries, and underlined that the award they received indicates their positive advancement in accordance with the mission of Artesis.

24 hours, 365 days operation without failure = MCM

MCM Motor Failure Pre-Warning System, which notifies the motor failures in advance that are likely to happen in the future and monitors all the significant information regarding the operating conditions of the motor, is described as a patented product beyond the latest technology. MCM (Motor Condition Monitor) is a case monitoring/pre-warning system in which the Experimental Modeling Method is intended to be used for status monitoring and which can alert the electro-mechanic failures that can occur in electric motors utilizing the current and voltage signals only. Having employed the patent system to monitor the electric motors in production (especially critical) increases the usability and efficiency of the production capacity and decreases the costs of junks, spare parts, storage, and parking.

MCM is a status-monitoring device that can be mounted on the motor directly or to their electrical board. Mounting and operating the device is very simple. Alerting the maintaining stages that are to be performed by the user, the device ensures the maintenance to be planned. Screen alert lights report the operating status of the motor in five stages. The alerts are indicated by different colors are as follows:

• No trouble with the motor, healthy function status
• Failure beginning, attention, keep under close monitoring
• Maintenance needed, organize the maintenance schedule, and logistics
• Perform maintenance
• Stop

In addition, MCM provides central remote monitoring by connecting to each other through a network communication. Thus, the operator has the capability to take precautions to prevent possible failures from happening by monitoring all the critical motors in the plant from a certain place. An application allows the device to monitor the status of many motors within the country over a network communication. This includes the maintenance service of "Motor Maintenance Administrator". In the further stages of the application a WAP access on the Internet will also be available. Thus, the unexpected interruptions of the production plants will be decreased and the production losses will be minimized.
