Using an asset, whether within its design parameters or not, wears its moving components and harms mechanical integrity. This degradation causes persistent changes in temperature, vibration, noise, and other magnitudes generated during operation.
Operating outside design parameters, or designs unsuited to operational needs, leads to unplanned stoppages, emergency repairs, or catastrophic failures, which negatively affect compliance indicators and expected return on investment. Many maintenance actions must be executed over an asset’s life, but which are the priority? When is the right time to act? How should maintenance be planned to optimise interventions?
Continuously measure, record, and automatically analyse external magnitudes that indicate mechanical integrity. Proper analysis of these signals detects defects, pinpoints their location, and tracks their severity. This is done with our SiAMFlex system.
SiAMFlex remotely and automatically monitors signals such as vibration, temperature, dynamic speed, and others currently acquired via wireless sensors.
Signals are processed and analysed with proprietary algorithms tailored to each asset type to diagnose and control deterioration severity. These algorithms generate alerts and recommendations for replacement or other maintenance actions, with tools to manage potential threats through to closure.
This mechanical-integrity management tool enables proper planning of maintenance for an asset’s rotating components and ensures only components whose operational condition is genuinely degraded are replaced or intervened at the most opportune time, avoiding unplanned stoppages, reducing maintenance costs, and increasing adherence to operation and maintenance programmes.
