Industrial automation solutions provider Omron Automation Americas has a new technology to help facilities get closer to the ultimate goal of zero downtime. By providing continuous remote thermal monitoring of electrical panels and other components, Omron's K6PM Thermal Condition Monitoring Device reduces the time and cost required for critical equipment inspections and minimises the risk of unplanned shutdowns. The number of parts that need monitoring is increasing in the highly automated facilities of today, but a shortage of maintenance engineers is making it harder to keep up with this demand. As a result, industrial facilities are at a higher risk of unexpected downtime as well as serious accidents. Device failures have various causes, most of which lead to overheating and subsequent insulator breakdown.
