 Why monitor machinery?

Prevent catastrophic failure & significant damage

Safety
Avoid loss of life, environmental harm, economic loss
Stop unscheduled outages
Production Assurance
Optimize machine performance
Reduce repair time and spare parts inventory
Predictive Maintenance
Lengthen maintenance cycle
Reduce price and raw material consumption
Quality Control
Increase product quality
Predictive Maintenance can reduce preventive maintenance tasks by 15% and have an
overall effect on downtime of 1-2%. If we look at the additional productivity of a
maintenance staff of 30, the calculations would be as follows:

Industry:
Process Industry

Products:
PXI-8108, PXI-1042Q, PXI-4472B, CSC-3059
(a customized version of 4472B)

Application:
China Steel standardized their machine condition monitoring (MCM) system
based on PXI and PXI-4472B. Each of China Steels production lines has a total
of 300 to 500 accelerometers installed and they needed a reliable distributed
software architecture for data acquisition, analysis, alarm & reporting. All
system software is designed in LabVIEW and is to be duplicated for a total of
23 production lines. Software design consulting was a critical piece to winning
the related hardware opportunities and has helped us close sales for 32 PXIs
to date (over $510K hardware sales made so far).
