In many cases, the true cost of unplanned downtime due to failed assets is underestimated. It is expedient to put certain processes in place to reduce the risk of sudden downtime.
Condition Monitoring
Prevention they say is better than cure. Having monitoring processes in place is a quick way to cut down on sudden downtime. Ensuring you have certain monitoring processes in place for your systems helps to monitor your systems so you are not caught unawares by unexpected breakdowns. Condition monitoring processes allow plant personnel to not only reduce the risk of catastrophic failure but also to order parts ahead of time, schedule manpower, and plan other repairs during the downtime.
Proper Quality Audits:
Industrial systems require surveys, analysis, and documentation to ensure the reliability and safety of their electrical systems to maintain optimal operational efficiency, improve reliability, and extend the service life of the equipment. Ensuring proper quality audit is done on your systems helps to diagnose problems, identify disjunctions and dysfunctions, and recommend the best solutions using effective instrumentation.
Vibration Analysis
Vibration analysis is a process that monitors vibration levels and investigates the patterns in vibration signals. It is commonly conducted both on the time waveforms of the vibration signal directly, as well as on the frequency spectrum, which is obtained by applying Fourier Transform on the time waveform. Vibration analysis of your systems can help you improve the performance of your equipment and extend its life.
