IR Services - Process Monitoring

As part of our Process Monitoring Program, IR Services inspects and monitors the condition of equipment to detect mechanical and electrical problems at the earliest stages, before a failure occurs. Process Monitoring gives you the convenience of scheduling your repairs when the necessary parts and personnel are available. This proactive approach to maintenance allows recalling information on any piece of equipment from the database to evaluate equipment trends and predict possible failures.

Predictive Maintenance Applications

Electrical equipment inspections
Mechanical equipment inspections
Manufacturing process evaluations
Inspections for leaks in building insulation
Roof condition inspections

A Proactive Maintenance Strategy

Predictive maintenance reflects a sound management philosophy–it means you are managing the maintenance process rather than maintenance emergencies controlling your operation
A predictive maintenance strategy makes it possible to set your own repair schedules
We catalogue the information into a historical database you can use to easily spot anomalies as you monitor equipment deterioration over time

Benefits of Predictive Maintenance Inspections

Reduce Operational Risk – PdM provides a proactive approach to maintenance control, rather than a reactive response to equipment emergencies that cause unexpected shutdowns
Relies on periodic Condition Monitoring (CM)
Ability to determine the degree of component degradation
Identifies many problems at the earliest stages, before costly failures occur
Perform maintenance tasks based on need, rather than an arbitrary schedule
Increases the efficiency of your maintenance personnel - Eliminates time once wasted on jiggling wires in attempts to diagnose problems
Pre-identifies problems before they become failures

Prevent or Reduce Equipment Damage

Spot small problems before they can become big problems
Prolong the life of expensive capital equipment
Prevent or minimize catastrophic failures
