Though we never failed to detect actual failures, there were other things going on: overheating, noise, etc. When those issues arose, we were called to the mine to check the equipment. Of course, this would happen at the most inconvenient times...
It is always a challenge in the field of condition monitoring to monitor the machines which are not approachable, and that makes them prone to frequent failures.
Preventive and predictive maintenance may achieve the same goals (healthy assets), but only one keeps costs reined in while improving maintenance as a business value driver.
Overhead cranes are often a single source cause of downtime in any manufacturing facility, especially when discussing those performing services in a steel mill’s melt shop. Often, these assets do not have redundancy that would allow for one to be taken....
The D-I-P-F curve goes from design and implementation to potential and functional failure. When your plant is ordering new electrical assets, it’s a good idea to find out if you can get the switchgear designed to be ready for infrared and ultrasound analysis. Is there an OEM out there…
We must create the means for collecting on-demand real-time condition-status data on mission-critical electrical distribution systems and components. Data is the way forward. There is a skill shortage in our industry…
This course explains common failure mechanisms, types of equipment to which each applies, and recommends non-intrusive monitoring techniques to discover components in various stages of progressive failure.
Condition-based inspection models utilize condition-based monitoring technologies to inspect electrical equipment assets. One technician can do three jobs in two minutes. These methods include…
