Proactive monitoring of rotating equipments and control systems can increase plant efficiency and reduce unplanned downtime, and operating and maintenance costs. As manufacturers look for new ways and tools to help them do more with less, forward-looking companies are turning to innovative monitoring and diagnostics tools that can dramatically improve existing Maintenance, Repair, and Operation (MRO) programs. Often referred to as "remote-monitoring and diagnostic systems," such technologies help cut overall production costs, improve quality, minimize downtime, and increase operational efficiency. Thanks to the Internet, new intelligent monitoring tools, and high-speed plant floor and telecommunications networks, manufacturers can now collect and analyze data from every comer of a plant. This means they have the ability to monitor and protect the health of plant assets - even from remote, offsite locations. Progressive manufacturers realize that capturing, analyzing and effectively using condition and operating information from machines can significantly reduce and even prevent - unplanned downtime. And, it lets managers make informed production decisions. In short, remote-monitoring systems can provide an important strategic and competitive advantage that can improve profitability.
