| Outsourcing the monitoring and diagnostics of critical machinery can be a cost-effective tool to maximize asset availability, safety and plant efficiency. Condition monitoring tools can cut maintenance costs dramatically by preventing equipment failures and unscheduled downtime. Stork Materials Technology has proven experience and expertise in the application of advanced monitoring and diagnostic technologies.
Predictive Maintenance
The objective of condition monitoring is to detect developing faults before they become a problem. Our specialists can perform an audit to advise which maintenance strategy fits the various equipment best.
Advanced Technologies
Advanced analysis of shock and vibration signals is generally used to diagnose the condition of rotating equipment.
Stork Materials Technology’s range of specialist services also includes:
- non-destructive testing,
- corrosion analysis,
- thermography,
- strain gauging,
- and more.
Trouble shooting
Condition readings can be evaluated on-site. If needed, machine adjustments can be made immediately. Balancing, alignment or structural corrections are most common.
Remote Diagnostics
An effective monitoring program is tailored to each application. For many the best option will be to have the data gathered by the plant personnel with handheld data collectors and sent to Stork Materials Technology experts for detailed analysis and condition identification. In some other situations on-line monitoring systems should be implemented.
Helpdesk
Whether there is a need for periodic surveillance or remote monitoring of critical machinery, Stork Materials Technology can assist in the implementation and technical support of your condition monitoring program.
