®

Monitoring methodsVisual: daily running inspections and routes

Audio: Acoustic Emission & UltrasoundOdour: Daily inspections & Oil Sampling

Vibration: Meters, handheld or permanentHeat: Infrared Meter and Thermal Imager

®

The BenefitsMultiple benefits that touch all KPIs

Consistent Product Quality = reduced waste

Planned maintenance instead of reactiveUptime increased and reactive decreased

Reduced labour and inventory spendSafer practices = reduced accidents

®

Sustainability

Planned interventions reduce wasteful activities

Reliable plants use less energyUptime increases drive Efficiency gains

Reduced costs deliver Sustainable operationsReliable operations deliver Sustainable plants

®

SafetyReliability is closely linked to Safety

Planned maintenance is safer than reactiveEquipment failure can contaminate product

Reduction in permit to work activity Secondary damage can have catastrophic
