Downtime
Easy Oil Analysis
Pre-paid oil condition analysis kits allow cost-effective assessment of lubrication oil condition, helping avoid unexpected failures and the resulting urgent need for replacement parts.
Certainty Doesn't Happen By Chance
Find everything you need to know to prevent and predict problems that can cause downtime. Tips, advice and solutions await!
Thermal Imaging
Detect mechanical or electrical problems early to avoid unplanned downtime. Use a thermal imaging camera and intervene when convenient and necessary.
Condition Monitoring
Unplanned maintenance can be four times the cost of planned maintenance. Keep your machines moving and futureproof your business with our condition monitoring services.
DOWNTIME PRODUCT AND SOLUTION GUIDE
Vibration Analysis
Monitor the condition of mechanical equipment by measuring levels of vibration. Trend analysis can indicate deterioration of bearings and warn of future problems.
Data Logging
Informed decisions need good data. Logging key process parameters over time will help spot critical changes that can indicate issues before they lead to unplanned downtime.
Networking
Key process data is of no use, unless it is delivered to where it can be analysed. This demands reliable industrial networks to connect the sensors to analysis tools.
IO Link
IO-Link helps make Industrial IOT possible on both new & existing machinery. It allows you to gain insight on sensor performance and status over existing wiring, and reduces downtime.
