Why do businesses need equipment condition monitoring?

The rigid connection between the various parts of the mechanical equipment, the fault has conductivity and spreading, if it is not found in time, it is easy to cause small faults to cause major faults, and the primary faults are derived into secondary faults. For example, if pitting corrosion occurs in the raceway of the inner ring of the reducer bearing, early detection not only reduces the maintenance cost, but also reduces the cost loss caused by downtime. In the late stage of failure, the pitting corrosion of the bearing spreads to the power unit and actuator on the shaft, gear and front and rear stages, and the resulting maintenance cost is unbearable for ordinary enterprises.

Since the performance degradation of mechanical equipment is a slowly changing process, poor performance often manifests as an overshoot of state parameters without causing sudden downtime, which provides the possibility of condition-based fault diagnosis technology.

Condition monitoring and fault diagnosis technology, by monitoring the operating parameters of the equipment, analyzing the current status of the equipment, and determining the remaining life of the equipment, improve the accuracy of equipment maintenance and prevent excessive maintenance or under-maintenance in the way of maintenance according to the situation. It is conducive to improving the efficiency, quality, cost, service and environment of the production system [3].

1) Efficiency. The cement industry belongs to the bulk commodity manufacturing industry, and the added value of products is low, so it is very important for enterprises to improve the efficiency of equipment. The level of equipment three rates (uptime rate, downtime rate, failure rate) represents the stable operation time of the equipment and is an important indicator to measure the operating status.

2) Quality. For process production, the equipment cannot run dry during the start-up and shutdown phases, in which case the product properties produced are unstable. Monitoring and diagnostics reduce the number of downtimes, stabilize equipment and improve product quality.

3) Cost. The use of the best monitoring system can keep the equipment in a stable operating state, improve the output rate, and reduce the cost per unit product. In addition, the early detection of equipment failures makes it easy to break parts, low replacement costs, short order cycles, and less economic losses.

4) Services. For equipment manufacturers, the use of condition monitoring technology can improve the remaining life of equipment, which is helpful for the production of spare parts and the implementation of after-sales service emergency plans.

5) Environment. The "Twelfth Five-Year Plan" of the cement industry clearly stipulates that carbon dioxide emissions per unit of industrial added value will be reduced by 17%, total nitrogen oxide emissions will be reduced by 10%, and total sulfur dioxide emissions will be reduced by 8%. In the case of poor operation, the energy consumed and the waste emitted far exceeds the normal situation.

Condition monitoring technology reduces environmental damage.

To sum up, the significance of equipment monitoring is to reduce the number of production line failures and cumulative downtime, realize the intelligence of equipment inspection and maintenance, and ensure the good operation of equipment, so as to ensure product quality, improve production efficiency, reduce production costs, reduce energy consumption and emissions, and improve the comprehensive competitiveness of enterprises, which is an important topic for the sustainable development of the manufacturing industry.

Ensure the proper operation of the equipment.

The ecview-im equipment condition monitoring and diagnosis analysis system mainly realizes the status monitoring, statistical analysis, early warning and alarm, multi-dimensional diagnosis and intelligent inspection of mechanical equipment parameters (vibration, temperature, speed, etc.). Based on the BS architecture, the web and mobile applications are released to meet the application needs of various functional managers and remote diagnosis center engineers of the enterprise for equipment maintenance.

Adopt "3+2" network architecture:

1.The alarm accuracy is high.

2.Real-time identification of alarms.

Based on intelligent analysis and deep learning neural network technology, the abnormal operation of machinery and equipment in the monitoring area is monitored, and the alarm information can be displayed in the monitoring client interface, and the alarm information can also be pushed to the mobile terminal.

3.All-weather operation, stable and reliable.

4.Alarm storage function.

Equipment status inspection generally specifies the inspection and inspection of the specified period or the targeted inspection of special equipment for known fault problems;
