With increasing pressure to increase productivity, product quality and profits, predictive maintenance can harvest untapped value from production assets and help metals producers achieve their goals. Our proprietary Integrated Condition Monitoring System (ICMS) can be a cost-effective way to implement predictive maintenance strategies that reduce downtime, maximize equipment ROI and can provide a competitive advantage.
Our ICMS provides the inputs needed to more effectively operate critical plant equipment. By continuously monitoring equipment performance through a data acquisition system, which can be integrated with existing CMMS systems, it can identify minute changes in equipment operation long before a problem would be readily apparent. Some of the conditions that can be monitored and analyzed are vibration, temperature, lubrication and motor current signatures.
Using our ICMS, metals producers can reduce downtime, increase component life cycles and reduce energy consumption by optimizing equipment operation. In addition, our ICMS can help make higher quality products faster and more cost effectively and improve bottom-line performance.
