I"m aligned with the prior two responses. There is not a one size fits all but in general, I would say having online digital monitoring for all predictive technologies is cost prohibitive. We use online vibration sensor and Steam Trap sensors in critical ...

Linda, We do use various condition-based monitoring tools here at Boardwalk including oil analysis, vibration analysis, and remote monitoring of assets using a large variety of sensors on the equipment. We do see real value in monitoring the equipment, ...

Some large rotating assets, such as turbines or centrifuges, have real-time hard-wired RMS vibration sensors, so they can be automatically shut down if there is a problem that causes vibration to reach an unsafe level. We have a few critical pumps that ...

For reactive work, we stick with the trend from the prior 5 years but we will adjust if we know we performed and completed a specific action that would mitigate failure then we would remove those reactive costs but also evaluate if it will transfer ...

Good morning everyone, I wanted to revisit a topic from a slightly different angle-how many of you are using sensors (vibration, oil analysis, infrared, etc.) as part of your condition-based maintenance strategy? More importantly, are you seeing measurable ...
