Data Directed vs Condition Directed vs Time Directed


Strategy Identification - i.e. Decision Tree Approach


Strategy Alignment Against the PF Curve


Strategy Identification - Capacity Assurance


Match Technologies, Equipment...


● Age of the equipment and the point in its lifecycle

○ Monitoring versus Pd.M. route

● Characterize & Optimize Asset Performance

○ Operator driven assets○ Baseline & cycling○ Asset operating within specified

application limits○ Augment and Correlate with other

indications


● Problem Assets○ Monitoring the chronically ill asset○ Identify “Bad Actors”

● Available Resources○ Extend the reach of your already

stretched thin maintenance team


● Most common assets for wireless sensors

○ Motors and Drives

○ Pumps and Compressors

○ Furnaces, Heat exchangers, & Reactors/Vessels

○ Facility Management (Heating & Cooling Systems)

○ Process Instrumentation (FI, PI & TI), HMI’s, SCADA, & DCS

○ LDP’s & Small Transformers

○ Complex Machines, Injection Molding, Mixers, Extrusion, Presses

○ Pre-Commissioning Activities*



Motors & Pumps on an even keel...


● Sensor for:○ Vibration with Temperature or fixed TI Camera○ Overall Vibration screening for the 4 major machine faults

■ Looseness, Imbalance, Misalignment, Bearing ○ Monitor key electrical parameters (Single or three phase loads) ○ Voltage, Current and Frequency○ Power including Active Power (VA), Non-active power (var) and

Power Factor (PF)○ Total Harmonic Distortion

● PdM Tools:○ Thermal Camera○ Vibration Meter Route○ Vibration Analyzer

Motors & Pumps on an even keel...


● Sometimes……….it’s not the equipment

● Sometimes……….it’s the power being supplied

● Both Sensors and Tools can help see trends and

fluctuations

○ Collect critical data on three phase power systems

○ Screen assets via Monitoring & Alarming 3Ø Power

components

○ Capture Power Quality events (Dips, Swells,

Transients)

■ i.e. 3 Phase Power Monitor & Logger

Analyzing Power Quality...


● Frees maintenance to carry out other more relevant tasks

● Data from both Handheld Tools and Sensors can provide comprehensive asset history

○ Analysis ○ Documentation○ Audit Trail

● Wireless Sensors○ Effective for finding intermittent problems

(Time-consuming to diagnose)○ Set and leave in place (logging of data)○ Integrate Indications (i.e CMMS, BAS)

Multiply Available Resources...


● What every Reliability Leader should know in this realm.

○ All measurements and testing deliver nothing unless they drive the appropriate action

○ The information gathered plays a key role in a Physical Asset Management program

○ Integrity of the data must be verified

○ Must be economically viable, in other words, it SAVES more than it COSTS

○ The IIoT will change the way you treat and value asset condition information moving forward
