A discussion on the Bently Nevada Plantwide Solution

Maintenance professionals hold tremendous responsibility. As the safeguards of plant equipment, they’re caring for massive investments, preventing costly downtime, avoiding potentially catastrophic environmental hazards, and protecting the health and lives of countless individuals who work within plant walls. Additionally, plant maintenance experts are approaching retirement and the next generations are not being trained to take their place. As machine complexity increases and expertise levels decline, the risks associated with continuing to utilize incomplete maintenance strategies becomes overwhelming:

• Machine failure and unexpected downtime (Downtime costs $22,000 per minute on average and unplanned maintenance costs 2-5 times more than planned maintenance)
• Decreased ROI
• Creeping Costs
• Inefficient spare parts management
• Human safety
• Environmental hazards

Imagine a world where a reliability manager can monitor the health of nearly all plant machinery and make intelligent maintenance decisions based on real-time data. This scenario is today’s reality. The next evolution in predictive maintenance strategy will be a transition to nimble and accurate real-time condition monitoring of an entire industrial facility.

Bently Nevada

Today, a single enterprise solution is available to monitor the health of our critical and supporting machinery alike. The “eagle-eye view” data collected from a plant-wide condition monitoring system empowers plant reliability managers to make informed proactive decisions about individual machine maintenance, provides a holistic view of the health of their interconnected factory equipment, and helps to better predict potential downtime. It can also improve overall plant ROI and decrease risk associated with reactive, outdated and spotty maintenance techniques.

Making the transition from critical-only condition monitoring to a plant-wide approach has the potential to elevate a plant to best-in-class status. A fully integrated and modern plant increases the level of sophistication, productivity, and reliability for the entire industrial maintenance field. Register today to learn how you can make a case for Plantwide Condition Monitoring and lower your costs, mitigate risk, and help increase your ROI.
