Equipment Condition Monitoring
Plant performance depends on the performance of major assets, yet research shows
that 5% of North American production is lost to downtime every year, and
equipment failure is the leading cause. The result: increased maintenance
spending, damaged equipment, and loss of potential revenue. By monitoring
equipment health in real time, you can:
Predict & prevent process and equipment problems to maximize performance
& availability
Detect & diagnose the root causes of poor performance & unplanned
downtime
Reduce maintenance costs up to 30% with condition-based maintenance (CBM)
Reduce downtime up to 40% with predictive fault detection
Most plants use a combination of two common maintenance practices: (1)
preventative maintenance (service key assets according to a set schedule,
whether they need it or not), and (b) reactive maintenance (fix it when it
breaks). The first is effective, but expensive. The second reduces maintenance
costs but runs the risk of serious production losses in the event of major
problems. Matrikon’s condition monitoring solutions give our clients the best
of both worlds by allowing them to predict and prevent problems while reducing
maintenance costs at the same time.
Equipment condition monitoring lets you implement a condition-based maintenance
approach, where key assets are serviced based on their actual, current
condition and performance. When properly implemented, these solutions can
predict serious problems early enough to prevent costly failures and get
maximum value from your assets.
With over 15 years of experience in process control and condition monitoring, we
can help you to improve your condition-based monitoring systems through a
complete series of integrated improvement initiatives:
Condition Based Maintenance – CBM
Reliability Centered Maintenance – RCM
Event Detection Systems
Fault Detection Systems
Performance Monitoring Systems
Asset Monitoring Systems
Matrikon identifies your key assets that would benefit from condition-based
monitoring and maintenance. Once they’ve been identified, we implement the
technology infrastructure necessary for an effective CBM program and then
develop and implement simple or advanced statistical models to monitor all your
key assets in real time. Our solutions further include integrating these
monitoring systems with your computer maintenance management system to fully
automate the process. Taken together, Matrikon’s approach ensures that our
clients can transition to a true condition-based maintenance environment and
achieve maximum value from their technology and their production assets.
Matrikon is the world’s largest independent condition monitoring solution
provider. With over 15 years of experience and clients in every industry around
the globe, Matrikon has been recognized as a world leader maintenance
optimization. Whatever level of service you require, Matrikon’s vendor
independence and depth of expertise guarantee that you always get the best
solution for your plant.
