Prediction Monitoring – Does imbalance, misalignment, looseness, bearing defects or a cracked fan blade cause you worry?
Predicting mechanical faults through real-time machinery health monitoring
Identify developing faults early and the underlying root cause of machinery problems.
Identify issues before problems trip the protection system.
Process event monitoring adaptive to process control through machinery health alerts.
Analyse vibration data for maintenance planning.
Visibility to machinery health before the protection system engages is considered the critical missing component of today’s machinery protection solutions. Operations and maintenance personnel are no longer looking for just protection capability when replacing an outdated protection system. Today more facilities are upgrading their protection systems with prediction capabilities. With prediction, the machine can be allowed to continue performing within acceptable parameters and repaired at the time most economically convenient to the plant. Adding prediction is the difference between just saving the machine itself and saving the production schedule. Prediction is protection for your bottom line.
Included as part of Emerson’s Online Machinery Monitoring solution is the CSI 6500 providing machinery prediction that complements protection. The CSI 6500 provides real-time feedback to both maintenance and operations so plant personnel can make informed decisions well ahead of a shutdown. As part of Emerson’s PlantWeb® digital plant architecture, the CSI 6500 delivers real-time machinery health information when and where it is needed. Integration with the plant’s process automation system and AMS™ Suite software empowers decision-making and reduces machinery health faults. When both prediction and protection are required, Emerson delivers with a complete asset management strategy for your most critical rotating machines.
