Reliability Management
Harmonize Maintenance Data with Physical Structures through Reliability Management: Evolve, Refine, and Revitalize Your Maintenance Approach
How Can Data Improve Reliability Management
-
Less Downtime
Machine breakdowns are abrupt and can be operationally catastrophic, involving time-consuming tasks such as identifying the malfunctioning machine, pinpointing the broken part, checking inventory logs for spare parts, and waiting for shipping.
Embracing predictive maintenance enables leveraging machine data to anticipate which machine, and even what machine part, requires repair before it disrupts operations
-
Improve ROI
In the long-term perspective of your operation, responding to machine failures has a more significant impact on ROI compared to predicting and planning for them. The immediate consequences of a critical asset failure, whether it halts a production line or hinders team productivity, immediately impacts operational ROI
Unexpected failures incur additional costs, such as emergency specialist visits, overnight shipping for spare parts, and other unforeseen expenses. Implementing predictive strategies helps mitigate these challenges, contributing to improved long-term operational efficiency and ROI
-
Improve Work Order Scheduling
Transition from the limitations of managing and scheduling work orders in a singular Excel sheet. Embrace a data-driven operation that moves beyond isolated systems, fostering a process centered on improving communication and scheduling efficiency
-
Sensors For Less Surprise Failures
Sensors measuring vibration, thermal, and ultrasonic pulses contribute valuable data that all give input on a comprehensive picture of machine health
By leveraging this sensor data, we establish a baseline for machine health. Comparing it to common issues in similar machines enables us to predict potential failures and identify specific parts that might cause issues. This proactive approach minimizes surprises in maintenance planning, allowing for more informed and effective strategies
How We Define Reliability Management
Asset Criticality Ranking
Do you know which assets are the most vital to running your operation? We can help you identify the assets that are vital for your operation’s day to day success, and prioritize your maintenance management accordingly.
Predictive Maintenance (PdM)
Utilizing data from sensors, we’re able to streamline your predictive maintenance to not only create a baseline reading for your critical asset’s health, but we’ll be able to better estimate machine life span and which specific part of the machine is the most at risk of failure to best prioritize your maintenance schedule.
Planned Maintenance Optimization (PMO)
Machines vary, and so should your maintenance schedule. With some machines needing oil changes every six months and others requiring more frequent attention, aligning with your scheduling priorities is crucial. To effectively prioritize your schedule, understanding the unique failure history of each machine becomes essential.
PMO brings in data into the conversation by considering failure history of similar machines to help build a perfectly prioritized routine maintenance schedule to keep your operation running smoothly.
Precision Maintenance
It all starts at installation, ensuring the correct installation of an asset can translate into significant savings, averting thousands in emergency repairs down the line. Investing time and precision in the initial phase of an asset's life cycle proves worthwhile, and the evidence is in the data.
Taking the time to be precise in the first phase of an asset’s life cycle pays off, and it’s in the data.
Failure Mode & Effect Analysis (FMEA)
Acknowledging that not all machines share the same maintenance needs, FMEA systematically evaluates potential failure modes of each machine, considering their unique characteristics. By comprehensively analyzing failure histories, FMEA enables precise identification of critical failure modes, allowing for informed decisions on prioritizing maintenance efforts.
FMEA ensures that maintenance schedules align with the diverse requirements of each machine to optimize operational efficiency and minimize unexpected downtime.
