Data analysis for plant diagnostics is crucial to ensuring the proper operation and safety of industrial equipment. By acquiring and processing plant data, our specialized technicians can access a wide range of crucial information for evaluating performance and detecting any anomalies. Some of the parameters monitored and analyzed include:

Energy Consumption: Our technicians can closely monitor plant energy consumption by analyzing data related to electricity, gas, and other fuel consumption. This allows them to identify potential inefficiencies and implement strategies to reduce energy costs and promote environmental sustainability.

Machine Stress (temperatures, vibrations, etc.): The collected data allows us to monitor the health of machines and equipment, including parameters such as operating temperatures, vibrations, and other operating conditions. Analyzing this data allows us to detect signs of overload, overheating, or excessive wear, which could indicate potential impending failures or the need for preventative maintenance.

Utilization Coefficient: The utilization coefficient provides information on the frequency and intensity of system use. This parameter is crucial for evaluating operational efficiency and resource optimization, allowing you to identify any under- or over-utilization of the system and adopt the necessary corrective measures.

Reported Anomalies: Data analysis allows you to identify and document any anomalies or warnings reported by the system. These anomalies may concern malfunctions, system errors, or other critical situations that require careful attention and timely intervention by technicians. Once this information has been extracted and processed, various opportunities for its strategic use open up, such as:

Identification of machine operating set-point values: The set-point values represent the optimal operating parameters of the system. Using the collected data, technicians can identify and optimize these values to maximize efficiency and reduce energy consumption.

Analysis and intervention on any anomalies found: Detected anomalies can be reported and carefully analyzed to determine their cause and extent. If necessary, technicians can intervene directly on-site to inspect the facilities and identify appropriate solutions.

Reporting: Anomalies can be reported for further analysis or intervention.

On-site intervention to inspect the facilities: This type of intervention can occur for various purposes:

Data collection survey: To obtain further information or confirm observations collected by sensors.

Troubleshooting by maintenance personnel: If necessary, technicians can collaborate with maintenance personnel to resolve identified issues, ensuring optimal system operation. Ultimately, data analysis for system diagnostics allows our technicians to monitor system performance, identify potential critical issues, and intervene promptly to ensure efficient and reliable operation.

Through an in-depth analysis of the obtained data, it will be possible to develop a detailed assessment of the operational status of industrial equipment. This assessment will be based on a sophisticated probabilistic analysis, using weighted averages to obtain an accurate representation of the plant's condition. The main results obtained include:

Equipment wear status: An in-depth analysis of the wear status of industrial equipment will be conducted, considering various parameters and indicators. The structural integrity of the equipment will be assessed, with particular attention to critical components such as bearings, gearboxes, and other elements subject to wear. Any signs of deterioration or corrosion on metal components will be examined, as well as the presence of visible damage or anomalies in contact surfaces. Signs of degradation in non-metallic components, such as seals, belts, and plastic components, which may affect equipment performance, will also be considered. System anomalies: Any system anomalies that may affect the proper functioning of the equipment will be identified and analyzed. These anomalies may involve software malfunctions, calibration errors, or compatibility issues between components. Particular attention will be paid to sensor reading errors, signal losses, or failures in automatic control systems, which can compromise the safety and efficiency of operations. Out-of-range parameters: Data will be analyzed to identify operating parameters that deviate from the optimal ranges defined for the equipment. These parameters may include temperatures, pressures, rotational speeds, or other specific indicators of operating conditions. Identifying out-of-range parameters may indicate the need for adjustments, calibrations, or corrective maintenance to restore equipment performance to acceptable limits. Excessive consumption: Energy consumption data will be analyzed to identify situations of overuse or inefficient use of resources. Any abnormal peaks in energy consumption or significant variations from baseline levels will be assessed, which may indicate efficiency problems or energy losses in the system. Abnormal wear (bearings, gearboxes, etc.): A specific analysis will be conducted to detect signs of abnormal wear on critical components such as bearings and gearboxes. Particular attention will be paid to abnormal noises, excessive vibrations, or localized overheating, which may indicate wear or damage to mechanical components. This detailed analysis will provide a comprehensive overview of the health of industrial equipment, allowing for the timely identification and addressing of any critical issues and ensuring reliable and safe plant operation.

Predictive maintenance setup To set up predictive maintenance, the following activities will be required: Maintenance scheduling and coordination with other machines: Predictive maintenance activities will be planned based on the data collected during the plant analysis. The timing and methods for carrying out preventive maintenance operations will be defined, taking into account the specific needs of the plant and the equipment involved. Maintenance activities will be coordinated with other machines or systems in the plant, ensuring integrated and synergistic management of operations to maximize the overall effectiveness of maintenance activities. Maintenance priority setting: Different maintenance activities will be prioritized based on the criticality of the equipment and components involved. Equipment or components requiring immediate or urgent intervention will be identified to ensure operational continuity and plant safety. Objective criteria will be established for prioritizing maintenance, taking into account factors such as the impact on plant performance, the risk of failure or malfunction, and the availability of resources required for the intervention. These activities will allow for the effective planning and management of predictive maintenance operations, ensuring timely and targeted preventive maintenance that will help reduce the risk of failure and optimize the plant's overall performance.

Plant Optimization Methods: Regarding plant optimization methods, the following strategies will be implemented: Process Analysis and Inefficiency Identification: A detailed analysis of production processes and plant operations will be conducted to identify any inefficiencies or areas for improvement. Activities or processes requiring optimization will be identified to maximize the plant's overall efficiency. Staff Training and a Culture of Continuous Improvement: Investment will be made in staff training to ensure proper understanding and adoption of new practices and technologies. A culture of continuous improvement will be fostered, encouraging active staff involvement in identifying optimization opportunities and implementing innovative solutions. Implementing these plant optimization methods will maximize operational efficiency, reduce production costs, and improve the company's overall competitiveness.

Predictive maintenance is a type of preventative maintenance performed after identifying one or more parameters, which are measured and processed using appropriate mathematical models to determine the remaining time before failure. Various methodologies are used for this purpose, such as trichological analysis of lubricants, vibration measurements, thermography, analysis of absorbed currents, detection of abnormal vibrations, and many others. To predict when maintenance will be necessary, it relies on the actual condition of the equipment, rather than on average or expected life statistics. A change in the measurements taken compared to the normal operating state will indicate increasing degradation and, ultimately, allow the timing of failure to be predicted.
