Maintenance Program Goals
The
most important goal of any maintenance program is the elimination of machine
breakdowns. Very often a catastrophic breakdown will cause significant
peripheral damage to the machine, greatly increasing the cost of the repair.
Complete elimination of breakdowns is not at present possible in practice, but
it can be approached by a systematic approach to maintenance.
The second goal of
maintenance is to be able to anticipate and accurately plan for maintenance
needs. This means spare parts inventories can be minimized and overtime work
largely eliminated. Repairs of mechanical systems are ideally planned for
scheduled plant down times.
Goal number three is to
increase plant production readiness by significantly reducing the chance of a
breakdown during operations, and to maintain system operational capacity through
reduced down time of critical machines. Ideally, the operating condition of all
the machines would be known and documented.
The last goal of maintenance
is to provide predictable and reasonable work hours for maintenance personnel.

Keys to a Successful Condition Monitoring
Program
With
all the additional pressures being placed on today’s maintenance staff, and the
demands for improved financial performance, you have to choose the right
partner, and the right tools. Let’s face it your job is not to play with
software, endlessly study graphs and wrestle with data collectors. Your job is
to keep the plant running. You just don’t have time for anything but the
best-designed tools.
InfraRed Imaging Solutions Inc. (IRIS)
is proud to offer DLI
condition monitoring systems which have been designed with your success in mind.
Efficient
data collection – monitor more machines in less time
Multi-channel instruments utilizing triaxial sensors acquire simultaneous
vibration data, phase data, demodulation data, automatically sequence as many as
50 tests per test location with one push of a button or scan a barcode label.
Accurate
and repeatable data – Junk In = Junk Out
Keyed
quick-connect attachment pads and barcoding provide high quality and integrity,
allowing repeatable and accurate data to be collected at any time and in any
order.
Analyze More Machines in
Less Time
Proven,
highly accurate, rule-based diagnostic software automatically reduces data to
concise interactive reports. Reports take you quickly to analysis tools for
verification of analysis and repair recommendations.
Clear Repair
Recommendations – Answers not just Data
Plain
language, easy to read report: Maintenance actions recommended for each machine
include supporting diagnoses of machine faults and severity of each - over 4500
rules and 1500 machine templates for accurate diagnoses of machine faults.
Information Everywhere –
Get Reports to Managers/Planners
Solutions engineered approach includes high quality report formats and
sophisticated information distribution using today’s communication tools – Web
Connect, email, pagers, etc. Two-way CMMS link makes automated work orders a
reality.
