Protect your operations with Integrated
Condition Monitoring solutions from NHP
I
n any plant, there are assets, big or small, that are imperative to
the overall operation and ensuring their condition is
monitored is essential. Being informed about your machines’
status will protect from damage, prevent problems that would
result in a loss of production, assure or improve quality, and
reduce maintenance costs.
When it comes to rotating and reciprocating industrial
machinery, the most effective data collection is bearing and
casing vibration readings, and often these critical rotating assets
are monitored using periodic manual data collection.
This level of analysis provides customers with historical insight
into asset performance, however too often customers are not
acquiring or analysing this data in a timely manner and are
missing early warnings signs of developing problems. Missing
these indicators can result in equipment failure and can impact
maintenance budgets and productivity goals.
Whilst routine maintenance is often applied to critical machinery
at scheduled intervals to prevent failure, predicative
14
maintenance techniques are designed to help determine the
condition of equipment and predict when maintenance should
be performed reducing unnecessary scheduling maintenance
works or unplanned production loss caused by a failure.
To truly achieve predictive intelligence, real-time 24/7
monitoring of your critical rotating assets is required. With
online monitoring of your critical assets, permanent sensors are
installed to constantly monitor your critical assets’ performance
and can report any deviations immediately. With Rockwell
Automation’s Integrated Condition Monitoring solutions
from NHP, this online solution has just become even easier to
integrate.
The Allen-Bradley® Dynamix™ 1444 Series has been specifically
designed to integrate into your existing control system allowing
you to leverage existing investments in your SCADA and
information solutions platforms.
