Is It Time to Implement Changes to Your Predictive Maintenance Program?
Without reliable predictive maintenance (PdM) programs, facilities around the world would endure countless costs associated with unexpected downtime, labor, and avoidable repairs and replacements. Predictive maintenance, at its core, is about addressing problems and maintenance needs before they have an impact. Every process needs refinement, have you considered issues within your predictive maintenance workflow? It might be time to audit and optimize your facility’s program. Here are four signs to notice.
You Lack Real-Time Insight
Things can change fast in a production facility. One hour the system
runs seamlessly, then later in the afternoon, you need to shut an asset
down to perform unexpected maintenance or repairs. A seamless,
consistent predictive maintenance routine can help you avoid these
unexpected repairs, allowing you a chance to schedule them ahead of
time. It all starts by gaining access to real-time data. If you don’t
have the ability to see motion, movement, and vibrations in real time,
it’s time to optimize your system and upgrade your PdM technology.
Technology Is Holding You Back
A predictive maintenance program is only as good as the people behind
it and the technology they use. Your team is on top of it, but are you
using the best technology available? Modern vibration analysis equipment
provides real-time data on the condition and movement of your critical
assets. From inspecting individual components to seeing how each asset
interacts with the next, contactless vibration analysis equipment is the
future of predictive maintenance. Many facilities employing it already
notice significant gains in time, ease of use, and consistency.
You Spend Too Much Time on Predictive Maintenance
Wasted time is detrimental to any facility. While you shouldn’t ever
feel the need to rush through your maintenance process or miss any
steps, it shouldn’t disrupt other aspects of the operation. A
streamlined predictive maintenance program complete with the latest vibration monitoring
equipment can help you see problems before they occur and deploy your
maintenance team to solve them before time-intensive downtime needs to
happen. If you value uptime, investing in a streamlined predictive
maintenance program is a must.
Your Facility Is Growing
The more assets you have in your facility, the more important your
predictive maintenance program becomes. You must optimize it to be as
effective, future-proof, seamless, and user-friendly as possible. When
you increase the number of assets that your team works with, you add
points of failure. New team members may be working with machines and
processes they’re unfamiliar with while they’re training, so you need
protections against human error in place. These factors point to the
need for a better, streamlined predictive maintenance program. Invest in
quality equipment that amplifies motion from afar so you can gather
real-time data on the condition and movement of your critical assets.
About RDI Technologies
With
the release of the leading-edge Iris product platform, RDI Technologies
effectively revolutionized the machine condition monitoring and testing
space. The Iris M™ vibration analysis and monitoring platform is
powered by Motion Amplification®, making it a high-precision machine
condition monitoring solution. That Motion Amplification
technology delivers crucial insights into the condition and the
reliability of critical assets. It does so by rendering otherwise
invisible vibration, displacement, and movement in those critical assets
visible in real time. Additionally, the Iris products can be installed
for predictive maintenance or testing that either runs continually or at
specified intervals. Monitor the condition of your critical assets and
test results with Iris technology platform from RDI Technologies.
