Predictive Maintenance in 40 Ton Overhead CranesPredictive maintenance (PdM) uses data from various sensors and condition monitoring tools to predict when a component is likely to fail, allowing intervention before a breakdown occurs.How Predictive Maintenance WorksData Collection: Sensors collect real-time data on stress, load, temperature, vibration, and usage ...
Unplanned downtime or late fault detection in these motors can lead to following losses for the factory: Loss in production High energy consumption High capex investments due to reduced asset life Higher maintenance cost due to its unplanned nature Vibration, Ultrasound, Thermography, Electrical Signature Analysis (ESA) and Motor Current Signature Analysis (MCSA) are some common ...
Most electric motors are equipped with anti-friction, grease-lubricated rolling-element bearings. These bearings are predisposed to fail along with your equipment if they are not lubricated properly—in fact, bearing troubles account for 50 to 65 percent of all-electric motor failures. The most common lubricant-related failures include improper lubricant selection and over-and ...
With Motice, users are presented with a system that addresses maintenance failures ahead of time. Condition monitoring systems (CMS) make wear and tear predictable, thus making repairs plannable and downtime less frequent: Signals from the machine offer added value because predefined signals can be used to detect deviations that ...
This is a double-edged benefit for clients of UE Systems. For this we are grateful. They minimize downtime and therefore costly delays. ...
Project Overview: Sierra CP was engaged as the principle contractor to design and implement a significant refurbishment of BP-Castrol Global Headquarters for fuel & lubricant R&D. The refurbishment required the construction of an exo-structure encompassing the existing test facility to accommodate the additional test facility plant and services required for the major upgrade. Essential ...
Objective: The CMSWIND project consisted of the development of an advanced monitoring system for rotating components in wind turbines by means of the application of novel non-destructive testing techniques that were not previously being used in the wind sector. This new Condition Monitoring system improved ...
Implementing an IIoT solution can allow monitoring of critical parameters to be tracked remotely. These solutions are increasingly being created as an integral part of the system installation, enabling benefits to be enjoyed by the manufacturer, service delivery partner, fuel supplier and ultimately the building owner and its occupants. ...

Challenges The company has embarked on a number of initiatives to drive down costs and improve performance, including the critical need to move away from a breakdown maintenance strategy to condition monitoring. As part of this program, maintenance staff were challenged to reduce equipment downtime significantly while alsoreducing their annual maintenance spend. ...

It may not be cost effective to keep a full set of spare parts on site but operators can benefit from storing small, commonly needed items close to site and using condition monitoring techniques to order larger components in advance of failures. Electrical components, including sensors, control systems and electrics, are responsible for nearly ...
Although the US Navy has made great strides in integrating technology to monitor and assess the condition of sub–systems, little is understood about how to fuse this data in order to construct a higher level awareness of the ship's overall readiness or current state. ...
Symmetrical components are of great importance in many applications in electrical power systems, such as power protection and condition monitoring. This paper presents a computer-based algorithm for online symmetrical components estimation. ...
At SMORN 8, a new web-based diagnostic system – web4diagnostics – was presented (Kunze, 2002). During the last two years, this system became the standard diagnostic system infrastructure for internal use in Siemens Power Generation, which integrates a large data archive of measured data and capabilities for data analysis and evaluation. Besides ...
