How are you managing your rotating and reciprocating machines?

April 18, 2022 | Product News

Run to Failure (worst) – most expensive way to operate. Run the machine until it fails then replace it.

Preventative Maintenance (good) – repairs to the machines are made on a periodic basis, regardless of the machines condition. Oftentimes, the preventative repairs are more damaging to the machine than if the machine was left alone – this is the next most expensive way to operate.

Predictive Maintenance (better) – repairs to the machines are made based on the condition of the machine, based on predictive technologies like vibration monitoring, thermal imaging and lubrication analysis – this is one of the least costly ways to operate, but needs a consistent investment in permanent monitoring via transmitters integrated with the existing Control System (PLC’s, SCADA, RTU’s, etc.).

Proactive Maintenance (best) – repairs to the machine are made based on the condition of the machine, based on predictive technologies like thermal imaging, lubrication analysis, combined with continuous vibration monitoring with data correlation with the plant process parameters of pressure, flow, power level, capacity, etc. – this is the least costly way to operate, but has the highest initial startup cost.

Switch to SCADA Cloud-Based Monitoring and Control

April 5, 2022 | Product News

Water and wastewater treatment plants, lift stations and wells rely on alarm notifications to alert them when critical events happen. Without notifications, incidents can have severe consequences to businesses and end-users. Traditional phone lines are susceptible to lightning, surges and other weather-related events causing undetected communication losses. Cloud-based solutions monitor the status of communications and can notify personnel immediately of a communication failure. They provide 24/7 access to communication status, critical events and data from any laptop or mobile device.

Watch a 20-minute REPLAY webinar where we focus on the risks of using phone line alarm dialers. Hear from our guest speaker, Tim Tomasko with The DAS Group, as he reviews first-hand customer experiences and benefits when switching to a real-time cloud-based solution.
