Condition Monitoring
Reliability is key in today's manufacturing environment. Businesses need to maximise the uptime of their equipment and ensure that their assets are operating at peak efficiency. That's where RS Industria comes in.
Where is my downtime occurring?
One of the primary benefits of our real-time condition monitoring and alert system is that it can provide valuable insights into why your downtime is occurring.
The losses due to unplanned downtime or sub-optimal performance can be substantial but are often tolerated due to the lack of visibility and understanding of the true consequential costs. A recent survey from the IMechE estimated the average cost of downtime as £5,000/hour. Coupled with an average unplanned downtime rate of 20 hours/week, many manufacturers could be losing up to £100,000 every week through poor reliability.
Where and when is the next failure?
RS Industria enables real-time condition monitoring and alerts, enabling maintenance teams to respond early to potential problems before they become failures. This information will enable maintenance teams to improve reliability in several ways:
-
Improve Uptime & Maintenance Efficiency
RS Industria provides real-time condition monitoring and alerts, enabling maintenance teams to respond early to potential problems before they become failures. This allows for predictive maintenance instead of reactive maintenance, reducing the time and costs associated with unplanned downtime. With the help of RS Industria, manufacturers can keep their production lines running smoothly, resulting in higher productivity and revenue.
-
Avoid Unexpected Failures
Gain insights into the health of your assets to help avoid unexpected failures that can cause significant disruptions to production and incur substantial costs. By monitoring asset health in real-time and receiving alerts for potential issues, manufacturers can take proactive measures to resolve issues before they become critical failures. This reduces the risk of equipment damage and downtime and avoid costly repairs or replacement of assets.
-
Extend Asset Life
Regular monitoring and maintenance can help extend the life of assets. By identifying reliability issues before they cause significant damage, companies can take corrective action and avoid premature failure. This increases the lifespan of assets and reduces the need for replacement, resulting in cost savings for the business.
-
Maximise Scarce Skills
With real-time monitoring and alerts, maintenance teams can prioritise their work and focus their efforts on assets that need attention the most. This allows scarce maintenance resources to be utilised more effectively, optimising workloads, resulting in higher productivity and efficiency.
-
Reduce Maintenance Costs
By identifying issues early, potentially critical failures can be resolved and prevent costly repairs or replacement of assets. As a result, companies can save money on maintenance costs, and reinvest those savings into other areas of the business.
Condition Monitoring Case Study
Histon Preserves, part of the Hain Daniels Group, faced potential downtime due to a lack of insight into its high-speed line. By using RS Industria’s alert system, our customer was able to closely monitor a potential failure of a key asset.
