The Challenge

The 1000 Ton main forging press had a 75 HP motor and fed a trimming machine. The motor pulley combination was situated on top of the Press at a height of about 15 feet thereby reducing its access for routine maintenance. The company found difficulty ensuring constant uptime of the Press.

The Solution

IDE was installed on the drive end of the remotely located motor. The IDE collected the tri-axial vibrations, temperature and noise levels of the motor instantly. Looking at the steady state vibrations, at the time of IDE installation, thresholds were set. Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) method to analyze the data helped in detecting the root cause of discrepancy in the vibrations. After 2 months of continuous monitoring, IDE detected a gradual rise in the vibrations of all the three axes. An alert was generated indicating the rise and notifications were sent in terms of an email and SMS to the registered authorities.

Operational Impact

[Process Optimization - Predictive Maintenance]
Corrective measures facilitated resumption of the Press.
[Management Effectiveness - Risk Mitigation]
Prevented the cracked pulley from damaging other drive components. It also avoided a catastrophic disaster and saved life of the operator.

Predictive Maintenance for Industrial Chillers

For global leaders in the industrial chiller manufacturing, reliability of the entire production process is of the utmost importance. Chillers are refrigeration systems that produce ice water to provide cooling for a process or industrial application. One of those leaders sought a way to respond to asset performance issues, even before they occur. The intelligence to guarantee maximum reliability of cooling devices is embedded (pre-alarming). A pre-alarming phase means that the cooling device still works, but symptoms may appear, telling manufacturers that a failure is likely to occur in the near future. Chillers who are not internet connected at that moment, provide little insight in this pre-alarming phase.
