It sounds simple – routine monitoring of your rotating equipment results in data necessary for deriving information about the condition of your equipment. But if the data isn’t accurate, your analysis won’t be either. If you can’t acquire data in a timely manner, you’ll miss early warnings of developing problems. Emerson’s condition monitoring solutions are specific to the application and criticality of your machines, and deliver data you can count on for accurate diagnosis of machinery condition.

It costs approximately 50% more to repair a failed asset than if the problem had been addressed prior to failure. Predictive intelligence on the health of your rotating equipment can reduce scheduled and unscheduled downtime, driving down maintenance costs and increasing safety and availability. And when your plant requires protection on its critical assets, API-compliant protection can be integrated so you can operate your plant safely and with confidence.

Collecting Vibration readings (overall, analysis bands, waveforms, and Spectra) on routine basis using a portable analyzer / data collector is a useful tool in predicting vibration related problems in rotating production assets that are defined as important but less than critical. Critical assets are defined as those assets that would halt or reduce production if they fail or shutdown which are typically a few machines counting up to about 10% of the plant rotating assets. Important assets can be as many as 75% of the total rotating asset count in a typical plant.

By performing routine prediction data collection on these assets, the user (maintenance and operations teams) are warned early enough of developing problems so that detailed analysis is performed and necessary maintenance actions can be planned and implemented within the plant maintenance management activities.
