This condition-monitoring specialist company has introduced a vibration data collection-and-analysis service for industrial plant operators that aims to minimize downtime and maximize productivity. Where no fixed machine condition-monitoring system is available (or is impractical) for critical plant, this company recommends that periodic vibration data collection should be implemented to monitor and trend the operational condition of machinery. Offline analysis by the company’s vibration experts can then identify faults and impending failures that enable scheduling of maintenance. No upfront capital investment is required to add regular monitoring of all a company’s machinery and plant equipment. — Sensonics Ltd., Berkhamsted, U.K.
