How to get the most out of your industrial assets with a condition monitoring programme

Is it time to take control of your industrial assets? With a condition monitoring programme you can:

• Understand your total operation and maintenance costs with the only industrial asset management solution that combines procurement, installation, maintenance, and energy cost.
• Predict industrial asset failures, perform maintenance as and when needed, and protect your operation.
• Detect and eliminate energy waste to reduce energy use, costs, and environmental risks.
• Adjust your maintenance strategy based on performance, cost, impact, and benchmarking.
• Knowing when to replace or extend the life of an asset with a full cost picture in mind.
• Know the energy consumption behind your assets.

A condition monitoring programme must rely on innovative technologies.

Implementing the use of predictive technologies for the maintenance of industrial facilities will help maintenance planners, maintenance and engineering managers and area managers to have fewer breakdowns and higher profits.

There are companies that continue to invest in the research and development of condition monitoring technology. They are specialists in this type of technology and are totally focused on improving their equipment. Many of these suppliers have many years of experience in both online and portable condition monitoring systems.

Condition monitoring programmes enable plant managers and maintenance managers in various industrial sectors, depending on their priorities in the production process, to monitor machines permanently or to check them periodically at regular intervals.

The reality is that fewer machine failures means more profit. The sooner a deterioration in condition is detected, the sooner countermeasures can be planned and implemented:

• Prepare spare parts in time.
• Planning staff and drawing up work orders.
• Carry out repairs during planned shutdowns of the installation.

Unplanned downtime is detrimental to plant productivity, operating results and costs. If a plant manager relies on maintenance based on condition monitoring programmes to keep his systems running, he will improve his bottom line:

• Reducing the number of machine failures,
• Reducing production stoppages and interruptions, and in short
• Improving the availability and productivity of your installation.
