Predictive maintenance & condition monitoring OPENING THE WAY TO


OPERATIONAL EXCELLENCE THROUGH ENHANCED


INSTRUMENT CONDITION MONITORING


maintenance staff can investigate a device’s condition more effectively, with any maintenance tasks able to be conducted to comply with production schedules and before the instrument fails.


A properly conducted predictive maintenance programme will dramatically reduce or even eliminate unplanned downtime caused by instrumentation failures. It can also help make more efficient use of the workforce, ensuring tasks can be scheduled more effectively. Another major benefit is extended uptime - if an instrument is only taken out of service when absolutely necessary, it can continue to carry out its monitoring role for the maximum length of time. This is particularly important in situations where accurate measurement is key to ensuring regulatory compliance or guaranteeing plant or personnel safety. Moving away from preventive maintenance and towards predictive maintenance can help eliminate routine tasks that add no value, reducing overall maintenance costs, while also eliminating the risk of making inaccurate

adjustments. With a better insight into the actual condition of the instrument, it can be serviced in the way it requires, increasing its lifespan.


SUMMARY By aiding in their own condition monitoring to inform predictive maintenance, modern measuring and monitoring instruments are kept operational for longer. In this way, instrument users can ensure that their


processes are also working for the longest possible time, cost-effectively and meeting all regulatory requirements. For more, visit http://bit.ly/ABB_Digital_Servs.
