Smart Condition Monitoring

Predictive maintenance is the best answer to minimising the risks of equipment failure, however, monitoring practices in the past have been expensive, problematic and at worst, unreliable. The solution is to switch to what Mitsubishi Electric refers to as ‘Smart Condition Monitoring’, a system that can connect to rotating equipment and provide plant-wide 24-7 monitoring. Using a Smart Condition Monitoring (SCM) system, operators can now gain access to a ‘crystal ball’ regarding the status of rotating equipment. The system can raise the alarm, predict failures in advance and provide information on recommended actions to take, all allowing for more cost effective asset management, which in turn helps to continually avoid unplanned production downtime events and the associated excess maintenance costs.
