Predictive maintenance halves running costs

A C-Cubed product story
Edited by the Processingtalk editorial team Jul 24, 2007

A new method for comparing costs for differing maintenance strategies has shown that by using predictive maintenance massive savings are possible

By calculating the average cost in Euros per kilowatt per year (euro/kW/Yr) it can be shown that a cost of 22euro/kW/yr for responsive maintenance can be reduced to 15euro/kW/yr with planned maintenance and 11euro/kW/yr with predictive maintenance - yes, this is half the cost.

C-Cubed has made the conversion to predictive maintenance cheaper and easier with Pocket VibrA V6.

Pocket VibrA is designed to show up machine faults such as unbalance, misalignment and looseness, and also gives simple and clear indications of bearing quality, based on internationally accepted methods.

Alarms, warnings and normal data are colour-coded for easy viewing and assets can be automatically set up using a simple "wizard".

It is only necessary to tell the wizard the type of asset eg motor, pump or fan, and its running speed, to set up the measurement points and alarm levels.

All data can then be trended using the included FreeTrend software to allow engineers to spot faults before they happen.

To put a smile on the Service Manager's face contact C-Cubed, and learn what a Pocket VibrA can do.
