Today’s plants frequently have limited personnel but still need to find ways to do more work and meet increasing goals and quotas. This dichotomy frequently causes a problem when it comes to asset monitoring, which is traditionally performed by technicians manually...
In an Engineering and Mining Journal Article, Shovel Service Suppliers Help Cut Costs, CO2, Emerson’s Tom Francisco joins other mining experts to describe ways to extend the life and improve maintenance practices on these critical assets for mining operators.
Historically, differing asset monitoring devices, even if mounted on the same installation, might have very different ways of sending their data or configuration methods. Such a situation leaves project teams in a bind—do they stick with only one type of sensor,...
Tinh Phan shares some ways manufacturers and producers can address some of the long lead times that they may be experiencing from their suppliers with regard to instrumentation and automation by incorporating predictive maintenance strategies.
Much of our vibration analytics today are still based on Fourier Transform which analyzes complex vibration by superpositioning a variety of sines and cosines waves of different but related frequencies.
In this short 2:53 YouTube video, Ensuring Pump Health, Emerson’s Logan Woolery describes how to avoid downtime by extending condition monitoring beyond just critical pumps to a wide range of other pumps to get a better picture of their overall health and receive early notification of abnormal conditions.
In a Process Worldwide article, Prescriptive Maintenance: A Cure for Downtime, Emerson’s Jonas Berge describes the new term as, “…a mashup of prescriptive analytics and predictive maintenance.”
In a new paper, Using PeakVue Plus Technology for Detecting Anti-Friction Bearing Faults, Emerson’s Stewart Bowers describes how PeakVue Plus analytics innovation to PeakVue automates the analysis of PeakVue analytics and presents the results in a user-friendly format.
In mining operations, the comminution process reduces the mined solid materials through crushing, grinding and other means. SAG and Ball mills are one of the most critical pieces of equipment for the process. Mining operators need to optimize grinding mill performance, and reliability to ensure tight shutoff.
Join Emerson’s Andrew Cureton and Sean Collins-Dippel for an April 20 webinar at 2-3pm CDT. They will discuss ways to prevent unplanned downtime through predictive diagnostics, identify impeller cavitation for operations staff to address before the condition worsens, and recognize abnormal fluid levels in seal pots.
In a Hydrocarbon Processing article, Emerson’s Andrew Cureton looks at a variety of ways WirelessHART can support asset management strategies. If we go back in time to Emerson’s introduction of its first WirelessHART enabled instruments, they were all process...
To drive improvements in safety and reliability, it’s important to get real-time insight in the health of the critical mining assets. Not only can additional sensors provide early indication of asset performance issues, the use of preconfigured applications that use machine learning algorithms to continuously analyze process data and condition-based data can alert decision makers to act before failures occur.
