Whether you are responsible for managing risk, fire safety, energy expenditure or reliability, understanding the health of your assets is a key component to your success. Costly electrical and mechanical failures usually occur gradually, not all at once. As systems degrade, several warning signs, such as abnormal thermal patterns, are issued and can be detected with the right equipment. Infrared Inspection is a proven, non-destructive technology for early detection of impending failures in electrical and mechanical systems. Proactive infrared inspection has the potential to reduce risk, increase operational safety, and bolster production efficiency. For this reason, integrating infrared into a proactive maintenance approach is prudent not only to protect against breakdowns, but to provide peace of mind.

Rotating machinery can detect early signs of flaws and machine operating issues that, left unchecked, can cause significant reduction in efficiency and lifespan. In turn, production is negatively affected, equipment conditions are compromised and maintenance costs increase. Incorporating condition monitoring based on vibration inspections and analysis into your condition-based maintenance strategy will ensure your equipment is operating as designed. Monitoring your rotating equipment, especially your most critical components will help ensure reliable operation and minimize downtime events.

Predictive maintenance (PdM) strategies have gained substantial popularity over the past few decades. Companies are moving away from calendar-based maintenance in favor of deploying less-intrusive technologies. Although calendar-based maintenance still has its place, experience has shown that moving towards a more predictive approach increases effectiveness, provides early warnings of failure, and eliminates subjective, costly maintenance tasks that frequently require system downtime to perform.
