Typical challenges faced by assets managers include:
- How to measure mechanical component fatigue?
- How to assess electrical wiring health?
- How to reduce overall operating costs, but not comprise on public safety?
- Risks posed by hackers & terrorists
- Asset damage due to vandalism
Preventative Maintenance aims to solve the aforementioned problems by acting pre-emptively. This is achieved by constantly monitoring the performance of critical components (usually with sensors) and then alerting the maintenance team that a component is about to fail. The asset management team can then schedule maintenance in order to replace the failing component(s) with minimum disruption to the public, and overall lower operational costs.
- Plan maintenance
- Machine health care
- Motor health care
- Secure firmware updates and anti-tampering
Plan maintenance
Monitoring the health of critical component, such as a lamp, motor or machine component and input power supply. Our algorithms and analytics help asset management departments provide planned maintenance.
A better maintenance program is achieved by constantly monitoring the performance of critical components (usually with sensors or other devices) and then alerting the maintenance team that a component is about to fail.
Machine health care
The health of a machine can be determined by ‘listening’ to the sound it makes via microphones. Algorithms filter and compare recorded audio to fingerprint templates of known failures.
Motor health care
The health of an industrial motor be determined by analysis the phase currents. Algorithms filter and compare captured data to fingerprints templates of known failures. The phase current data can also be used to check for wire breaks or phase failure.
Secure firmware updates & Anti-tampering
ASN’s security module provides asset protection up to military grade, and while at the same time allowing for secure (encrypted) firmware updates.
ASN contactless measurement, smart algorithms and alerting offers the ideal condition for this programme. The asset management team can then schedule maintenance in order to replace the failing component(s) with minimum disruption to the public, and overall lower operational costs.
Let’s make an appointment to see how can help you create an effective maintenance programme and reduce your Total Cost of Ownership.
