How a Smart Sensor Technology Alert Saved £11,000 in Unnecessary Repair Costs
33% Repair Savings
Did you know that preemptive maintenance can save 33% on the cost of repairing a failed machine?
Something a Manchester synthetic oil manufacturer discovered shortly after we fitted CPM smart sensors to their electric motors, pumps and critical assets.
The ‘Fitbit’ for Your Rotating Machinery
The Smart Sensor technology that we use monitors a wide range of health parameters including:
- Overall vibration
- Skin temperature
- Looseness
- Bearing conditions
- Output power
- Misalignment
Smart Sensor technology that prevented a costly repair job only weeks after it was fitted.
The Anatomy of a Feed Pump Motor Failure
Alerted to a deterioration in a boiler feed pump-motor system, a CPM reliability engineer instantly consulted bearing condition trend charts. After studying the data and quickly realising the threat, he promptly scheduled preemptive motor maintenance that would avert a secondary failure.
A failure that had the potential to also damage surrounding equipment.
Add that to the expense of:
- Lost production
- The opportunity cost of teams who could be doing productive work such as improving productivity, plant utilisation and production.
- The added cost of bringing in repair workers at short notice premium rates…
…and the time/cost-saving benefits of Smart Monitoring are easy to see.
Save Money, Save Time, Save Inconvenience
Preventative action saved our client £11k – on ONE motor:
- £5k of production lost in the first hour.
- PLUS: £0.5k for every subsequent hour.
- PLUS: The cost of the repair itself.
- PLUS: The opportunity cost of other important maintenance work not carried out on other machines.
Little wonder that so many businesses are turning to CPM smart sensor technology.
Advance warning tech that keeps you one step ahead.
The smart way to:
