Infrared Surveys

The use of predictive maintenance technologies has shown to reduce maintenance costs by 50% or more. We have been using this technology in the utility industry for years and want to make it available to our customers.

The Challenge

As the economy continues to run at high speed, plant utilization remains high. Unexpected machine outages become not only inconvenient but can lead to lost sales.

All equipment wears out. The challenge is to determine where it is on its failure curve and to make repairs at the right time - before there is a catastrophic failure, but not so early in the curve that the machine is being over maintained.

The Service

Because failing electrical equipment begins to give off heat before any other evidence of deterioration is visible, infrared inspections  can find problems before they become catastrophes.

You receive a complete report of any problems found. The report gives you all the data you need to create a plan of action to deal with the maintenance needs identified.

The Benefit

• Infrared inspections are done while the plant is running causing little or no interference with production.
• Maintenance costs are reduced because the information from the inspections allows you to service equipment only when it needs it.
• Because most problems are found far enough in advance of failure that you can schedule the repairs, the inspection allows you to make repairs when they will have the least affect on production.
