Operator based Condition Monitoring
PROGNOSE is an innovative, operator empowered, online monitoring system that combines several predictive machinery measurements. this early warning system has a simple interface, therefore revealing the overall equipment condition immediately via the operator dashboard.
The key benifits of PROGNOSE include:
- Increase equipment availability.
- Reduce spare parts usage.
- Lower repair and servicing.
- Identify failures.
- Eliminate breakdowns.
- Eliminates the need for on-site expertise.
- Reduces time-based maintenance.
Online condition monitoring – this simple early warning system identifies a wide range of impending failure modes in rotating element machines and also process equipment. Furthermore, the simple operator dashboard, is backed by a sophisticated and powerful analysis and troubleshooting suite, used to identify, analyse, and resolve equipment defects.
SAVES MONEY AND INCREASES OPERATING EFFICIENCY. – PROGNOSE embraces three fundamentals of equipment reliability:
ConditionNet® Periodic monitoring of machinery condition (vibration and temperature) to identify mechanical and electrical failures.
LubriNet® Continuous lubrication monitoring (grease, oil flow and quality).
Process parameters – Periodic acquisition of process variables to evaluate the overall operating efficiency of the equipment.
Using the operator dashboard, PROGNOSE® offers a user friendly touch screen interface, displaying overall trend levels and selectable alarm functions
PROGNOSE® implements automated assessment of the equipment’s current condition, detecting the most common failures modes and indicating these to the user via the operator dashboard. Automated evaluation of the following conditions is made on a continuous basis.
- Unbalance
- Misalignment
- Mechanical looseness
- Worn or damaged bearings
- Worn or damaged gears
- Lubrication deficiency
PROGNOSE® is also designed with experienced engineers and analysts in mind. Its comprehensive condition monitoring software database that can be accessed locally or remotely at any time, enabling in depth evaluation of potential problems.
Boasting time domain and frequency domain analysis, PROGNOSE® provides a powerful analysis suite in a condition monitoring database.
PROGNOSE® has a redundant data repository system so high levels of data integrity are assured even during network failures and communication interruptions.
A scalable solution, PROGNOSE® is designed to be purchased in building blocks to match user needs. Users can start small and grow the system overtime, limiting any initial capital expenditure. As the need to monitor more equipment grows, so can the PROGNOSE solution.
PROGNOSE® is designed with criticality in mind, offering higher levels of detection for more critical equipment, whilst lowering the cost of monitoring for less critical items.
PROGNOSE® is remote monitoring device, designed to obtain data at the equipment, and transmit it to anywhere in where world. It is fully network connectable covering multiple machines, in multiple areas and multiple sites. The configurable dashboard links all monitored machines to a common point through its network connectivity and defined alarm conditions.
With its automated data collection, PROGNOSE obtains consistent, repetitive data and removes the need for human interaction or user intervention. With the flexibility of multiple measurements, all necessary data required can be captured without plant disruption - ensuring production rates and quality standards are maintained.
