OPERATOR BASED CONDITION MONITORING
ADVANCED MAINTENANCE SOLUTIONS
APPLIED MAINTENANCE TECHNOLOGY PROVIDES CONDITION MONITORING SERVICES TO A WIDE RANGE OF INDUSTRY SECTORS. SIGNIFICANT EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN GAINED PRIMARILY IN HIGH VOLUME MANUFACTURING, INCLUDING PETROCHEMICAL, FOOD, PAPER & PULP, FRAGRANCE AND FLAVOURS, AUTOMOTIVE AND ALSO FAST-MOVING CONSUMER GOODS.
EQUIPMENT MAINTENANCE, OPTIMISED
Condition monitoring is currently accepted as the most efficient method of maintaining process machinery. Furthermore, the application of the correct technology to measure the equipment condition enables the experienced analyst to predict the onset of failure and the underlying causes. It can also capture a large percentage of all failure modes including wear out, infant mortality and most importantly, random failures.
PREDICTIVE MAINTENANCE TECHNIQUES
Applied Maintenance Technology offers scaleable condition monitoring solutions using the following predictive maintenance techniques.
AMT offers professionally managed condition monitoring programmes to suit all industry and applications.
Entry-level programmes utilising manual data collection techniques offer acceptable levels of monitoring for most process equipment. Furthermore, highly critical plant and equipment may deserve the increased security of remote-online surveillance and real-time protection. AMT ‘s solutions also accomplish the full array of techniques in one application suite.
MANUFACTURING
RELIABILITY
UTILISING AN ARRAY OF WORLD-CLASS MAINTENANCE AND OPERATIONAL MODELS, AMT HAS EVOLVED A UNIQUE TEMPLATE FOR MANUFACTURING RELIABILITY. THE MODEL COMPRISES OVER 25 YEARS OF TRIED AND TESTED APPLICATION GAINED THROUGH EXPERIENCE AT ALL LEVELS OF THE MAINTENANCE AND ALSO OPERATIONAL FUNCTION.
AMT’s strategic understanding of professional maintenance positioned them perfectly to assist in the process of evolving the site maintenance strategy. Therefore, with minimal investment from a Tata Steel perspective we have established a predictive maintenance platform across most areas of site and proven the benefits through identifying potential failures using advanced maintenance techniques. AMT are also actively participating in the synthesis of a new maintenance strategy through a detailed F.M.E.C.A process. They are now executing the majority of the site condition monitoring program.

The simplicity of the Vibrio M and the intuitive DDS2014 software from Adash enables AMT to train personnel (with no previous experience in the field of vibration analysis) effectively and efficiently. Rapid development of the vibration database is made possible using the predefined templates for measurement points and cut/paste functionality for identical types of equipment and machinery. This removes the need for tricky data collection specification settings and repetitive data input to create equipment hierarchy. Relevant data collection routes are created within minutes when the hierarchy is complete. This cumulates in a fully functional vibration monitoring programme within two site training days” “When you consider the low cost base for the unit and the free software, clearly this puts vibration monitoring within reach of industry sectors that were previously restricted by capital procurement constraints.
