Method for monitoring an industrial plant and associated instrumentation interface

One proceeds to the surveillance of an industrial installation having a plurality of bodies to be monitored (10), including bearings, bearing one or more rotating machines, by securing each of the bodies to be monitored (10) an instrumentation panel (18) constituting a fixed portion of an instrumentation interface (16) and then performing at least a measurement campaign by means of a portable communicating measuring instrument (24) comprising at least one accelerometer and / or a microphone , a processor, a man-machine interface and a telecommunications module, the measuring instrument (24) preferably being a PDA or ordiphone, the campaign including, for at least one monitored device among the bodies to be monitored (10 ), a measuring sequence comprising a temporary mounting of the measuring instrument (24) to the instrument panel (18) secured to the monitored body, and a vibration measurement and / or acoustics of the means monitored by the accelerometer and / or of the measuring instrument microphone, and then disassembly of the measuring instrument (24), the campaign with at least two iterations of the measurement sequence taking as member successively monitored at least one first member and at least one second member from the bodies to be monitored (10).
