Condition Monitoring

As plant infrastructure ages, equipment failures cause more and more unplanned downtime.  The ARC Advisory Group estimates that 5% of production in North America is lost to unplanned downtime.  Wireless makes it economically feasible to monitor many more pieces of plant infrastructure – not just the few deemed critical.  Leading manufacturers fully understand the value of predictive maintenance, the challenge has been the sheer impracticality of installing sensors on every piece of aging infrastructure.  Real-world installations have demonstrated that self-organizing wireless provides a 90% reduction in installation cost, knocking down the barrier to widespread deployment of condition sensors.

Motor Condition Monitoring

A few simple measurements can provide an extremely accurate picture of motor health.  The challenge has not been taking measurements or knowing what to do with the information - but economically reaching motors scattered around a facility.  Self-organizing wireless mesh networks are ideally suited to gathering little bits of valuable data from every corner of the plant.

Corrosion Detection

Aging pipelines and tanks have become a major problem in the oil and gas industry.  Keeping tabs on corrosion with manual processes is extremely costly, time consuming, and unreliable.  A network of wireless corrosion sensors can be economically deployed to reliably identify issues before they become catastrophic failures.
