When it comes to your health, your car and your rotating equipment, one thing tends to ring true: consistency is a sign of fitness. When your machinery runs consistently, its performance is predictable.
If your rotating equipment unexpectedly suffers from a failing component, loose foot, broken regulator or other mishap, it’s an early warning sign that could lead to a work stoppage or emergency repair.
The problem is: how do you anticipate this? It’s not like you can monitor your machinery’s performance at all times.
Thankfully, you don’t have to.
As an exclusive partner and distributor of Erbessd Instruments® products, our team combines state-of-the-art condition monitoring sensors with hands-on expertise to keep an eye on your machinery’s performance 24/7.
What is Condition Monitoring?
Condition monitoring is a form of predictive maintenance (PdM) that tracks the temperature, operating speed and dozens of other variables within your machinery to help determine when failures are likely to occur. It gives you the luxury of being proactive rather than reactive when it comes to maintaining your rotating equipment.
With help from our reliability technicians and Erbessd Instruments® sensors, implementing a condition monitoring and maintenance program for your machinery is a breeze. We help you set it up in two simple steps.
How Does Condition Monitoring Work?
Step 1: Set safe operating parameters based on your machinery that govern any measurements you’d like to be taken.
Step 2: Our experienced reliability technicians carefully position your Erbessd wireless sensor on your machinery.
If your machinery’s operations fall outside acceptable limits, your Erbessd monitor can send you a cloud notification. That way, no matter where you are, you’ll be alerted to anomalies in your rotating equipment at any given moment.
