SENSOR NETWORK CLOUD TECHNOLOGY

摘要

Manufacturing and industrial facilities rely on rotating assets, such as pumps, compressors, fans, motors, and turbines. Maintaining these critical assets is crucial to uptime and performance. It is estimated that less than 20% of these critical assets are proactively monitored via online systems to detect problems and determine their mechanical health. Other semi-critical assets, otherwise known as balance-of-plant assets, may have sensors installed, but are infrequently and manually sampled via scheduled route based handheld data collectors. Condition-based maintenance is a strategy where maintenance is performed when one or more indicators show that equipment will fail or performance is deteriorating. Time-based maintenance tasks for machines shown to be running well are avoided, eliminating the possibility of introducing a defect into the system.
