Eliminating faults with intelligent condition monitoring
In the industrial manufacturing and resources space, machines and components are subject to heavy wear due to the inherent nature of the ambient conditions and production processes in which they operate. Core plant equipment such as pumps, fans, electric motors, cooling ovens, rotary kilns and heat exchangers, all require monitoring solutions as part of an effective preventative maintenance strategy. This helps diagnose faults in the early stages, allowing plant managers to action any maintenance regimes immediately to prevent costly downtime in the future. In gypsum plants for example, the generation of dust and dirt during the manufacture of products for drywall construction, floors, plaster and facades, has typically led to the unexpected shutdown of critical equipment. The accumulation of dust…
