What's Equipment Condition Monitoring System

Equipment security and reliability is the most important precondition for continuous production of factories, power plants and other industrial enterprises. It not only deducts company income but also increases maintenance cost if any equipment breakdown happens.

 

CLIMA Equipment condition monitoring system is an integration solution to ensure equipment going reliable and smooth. The whole condition monitoring system is comprised of:

 

1. Condition monitoring hardware

2. Condition monitoring software

3. A compelete equipment management system and staff assessment system

...

So far, the system has already been applied in many famous power plants, power transmission companies, petrochemical plants, steel making plants ,etc.

 

Why should we apply condition monitoring system

Safety production is one most important issues for every entrepreneur and manager. According to statistic, USA suffers 20 billions USD loss caused by safety issues. The loss in petroleum and chemical industry is as high as 10 billions USD. In China, there are more than 350000 cases of accident which results in 10000 death. The direct and indirect loss is 80—200 billions RMB. It takes 1-2.5% of the GNP.

 

According to statistic of industry accident. Inducement mainly comes from equipment, manpower, technical items.

We have been working on exploring methods and technologies which will ensure safe and stable production. Integration equipment condition monitoring system is an ideal solution.

 

Basic concepts of condition monitoring system

Manage equipments all through life-spans. Presently, most management of equipments can be called as after-breakdown management, in which the maintenance department repairs equipment only after breakdown happens. Condition monitoring system requires that all equipments should be monitored DAILY by staffs according to proper technical standard through all the equipments' life-spans.

 

Strengthen responsibility system. Condition monitoring system divided the whole plant into several monitoring areas. Each area has it's own monitoring tasks. Monitoring staff will be assigned to different areas according to their specilized field, taking the responsibility there and these areas will be their own responsibility area.

 

Strictly carry out monitoring tasks. The monitoring tasks have many details, types and standards, it's not easy to carry out only by paper and pen. In condition monitoring system, there's one multi-functional portable handset, which can do data processing and collecting, making sure all the tasks can be done according to proper requirements.

 

Implement tendency analysis. For previous after-breakdown management, there are hardly any equipment data records. Even some staffs record the value by paper and pen, it's still no possible to have a tendency analysis. The condition monitoring system can use the data collected, automatically form history record chart and tendency chart.

 

Based on data analysis, carried out defects management, preventive maintenance, work order. Defects are inevitable during equipments' life-span. The application of condition monitoring system provide an easy way to manage the equipment defects. Based on the data collected by monitoring handset, the system software can automatically find out defects and provide a guide-line for the next stage of preventive maintenance or work order.

The complete flowchart of condition monitoring system starts from the composing of monitoring task, after the data are collected and uploaded, system will automatically analysis data, finding defects, prepare for the next stage of preventive maintenance or work order application.
