    The Importance of Predictive Maintenance

    Predictive maintenance (PdM) means determining what is wrong with a machine before it fails, and taking pre-emptive steps to prevent such a failure. Effective condition monitoring, a very important component of PdM, allows maintenance to be scheduled on a machine before it fails, saving time and money. Predictive maintenance should be looked at as the ideal operating goal for a facility as opposed to reactive maintenance, which as the name implies puts maintenance crews on the wrong side of machine failure. The four primary benefits of predictive maintenance are:

    • Minimized repair duration
    • Minimized loss of production hours due to maintenance
    • Minimized cost of spare parts and supplies
    • Prevention of collateral damage and costs through early detection

  • Have Any of These issues happened to you?

    Inability to share data between different condition monitoring tools you use.

    Gaps in condition monitoring between maintenance shifts.

    Infrequent visits from a third-party condition monitoring company.

    No In-house vibration analysis expertise to diagnose machine health quickly.

  • Your On-Site Technicians

    We Have certified Vibration Analysis Technicians on-site

    No one on staff is a certified Vibration Analysis Technician

    Are there individuals in your maintenance or reliability department who are certified to perform vibration analysis?
  • Portable or Online

    We need a Portable Vibration Analysis Tool

    We need an Online condition monitoring system.

    I'm unsure which type best fits my needs

    Are you looking for a portable tool or a more permanent, mounted solution?
  • Need to Monitor Critical Assets?

    We need to monitor Critical Assets on a daily/high frequency bases

    We do not need to monitor critical assets more often than once a day

    Do you need to monitor critical assets that need dynamic data collected daily, or even more frequently?
  • Planning Maintenance Routes

    Close

    Route-Based Vibration Analysis

    Route-based vibration analysis is the practice of following a planned route through a facility, taking prescribed vibration measurements from machines along the route at regular intervals (often weekly, monthly, quarterly, or bi-annually). Route-based vibration analysis, a component of predictive maintenance, helps members of the reliability department establish patterns and trends among the measured machines, which in turn help highlight defects or irregularities.

    We need the ability to Plan routes for our condition Monitoring Program.

    We do not need to Plan Routes for our condition Monitoring Program.

    Do you need the ability to plan routes for your condition monitoring program?
  • Advanced Analysis Features

    We need advanced analysis features like frequency analysis or run up/coast down.

    We do not need these advanced analysis features.

    Do you need any of the following features: - Run up/Coast down - Frequency Analysis?
  • Which Feature is Most Important?

    What is dynamic data?

    Dynamic data means spectral and time wave data is represented, instead of just overall vibration values.


    Intrinsic safety

    A tool that is intrinsically safe can be operated in hazardous areas without fear of ignition or combustion. Electrical equipment that is NOT intrinsically safe creates tiny electric arcs in switches, motor brushes, etc. that can potentially ignite in hazardous areas. In intrinsically safe devices these arcs are minimized or completely absent, rendering them safe from ignition.

    In North America, intrinsically safe devices are rated based on the level of hazardous environment in which they can safely operate. The strictest intrinsically safe classification is Class 1, Division 1, meaning the device could operate in an area where an explosive mixture is continuously present or present for long periods.

    Wireless monitoring of hard to reach or confined machinery

    The ability to monitor multiple signal types from machinery, including vibration, voltage, IEPE, etc.
