Aggregates
Monitoring of Aggregates
Critical aggregates (system composed by several separate machines) are equipments for which every unplanned downtime causes significant non-production costs. To avoid them, many critical aggregates are today covered by aggressive and costly preventive maintenance plans.
Predictive maintenance is not very widespread because the costs of digitisation are often high. IoT solutions on the market do not cover the monitoring requirements properly, so that they should be monitored with costly cabled Condition Monitoring Systems (CMS).
Data provided by CMS Systems are complex to analyse and requires special skills.
CMS Systems based on classic vibration monitoring are well known since many years for their ability to detect issues on the shaft dynamic and bearings. But they are quite limited to detection other issues e.g on the inverters or on the mechanical seals.
