From the maintenance departmentthrough to the boardroom, companiesare now recognising the requirement

for a proactive maintenance strategy.Condition Monitoring (CM) is a broad name for

evaluating maintenance requirements based on

specific performance indicators of a plant.

Adopting a CM programme will minimise

maintenance actions without sacrificing integrity

or reliability of the system.

Understanding why assets fail is key, and

identifying and measuring the failure mode is

vital to the strategy. Failure modes can be

defined from operational history, industry

knowledge or from the equipment manufacturer.

MEASURE THE CAUSE

To measure the failure mode, a number of

common CM methods can be adopted.

These include:

Vibration Analysis

Thermography

Oil Analysis

Ultrasonic Testing

Routine Inspections

Magnetic Particle Testing

Electrical Tests

DEFINE THE AFFECT RELIABILITY ONLINE

Rockwell Automations Reliability Online (ROL)

is a unique service designed to provide cost-

effective results for CM programmes. It provides

the advantage of an in-house integrated CM

programme, but managed remotely, and without

the capital investment. Reliability Online delivers

results with minimal investment in equipment,

training and personnel. It uses the internet or

e-mail to access a central team of highly skilled

engineers, providing timely maintenance

recommendations.

RELIABILITY ONLINE IN REALITY

Following a plant audit, data collection intervals are

set, measurement points defined, and if required,

transducers are installed. A web link is provided

to connect the plant to Rockwell Automations

skilled engineers. The data is then collected andtransferred to the secure website. An analysis will

lead to a prompt report on the status of the

assets, allowing appropriate maintenance

activities to be planned in a timely manner.

THE IMPORTANCE OF UPTIME

A recent ARC Advisory Group study estimated

that in the US more than $20 billion is lost

each year due to unscheduled downtime

clearly fail and fix maintenance is not a viable

maintenance strategy.

Rockwell Automations Reliability Online provides

a cost-effective Predict and Prevent strategy.

The CM services offered by Rockwell Automation

are flexible and reliability driven. Our goals are to

reduce unplanned downtime and improve plant

availability. These services can be offered as part of

an Asset Management Support Contract providing

commercial benefits in terms of preferential pricing,

as well as an all encompassing support structure,

ensuring customers gain maximum benefit from the

full range of services.

RELIABILITY ONLINE SERVICE DESCRIPTION

Reliability Online (ROL) is a unique service

designed to protect your plant assets from failuremode. Any equipments failure mode can be

defined from operational history, industry

knowledge, or the equipment manufacturer.

To protect your equipment against failure mode,

Reliability Online monitors your equipment for

impending problems so that it can be repaired at

first notification.

Reliability Online includes programmes ranging

from portable/periodic data collection to online

protection/continuous data collection. Data is

analysed by Rockwell Automation engineers

for continuity of equipment functionality.

This programme shows results with minimal

investment in equipment, training, and personnel.

Improve your Return On Net Assets(RONA): Improve Revenue via Increased Uptime

Continuous or periodic equipment monitoring

and analysis of the data will alert you to

critical maintenance needs early, and will

prevent extended downtime

ReduceCosts and Improve CashManagement

Effectively manage maintenance costs with

this customised solution, based on your needs,

by data collection interval and method

Decrease Assets Reliability Online

delivers results with minimal investment

in equipment, training, and personnel.

Equipment life is extended through timely

maintenance notification

Improve your Overall EquipmentEfficiency (OEE):

Improve Availability Experience increased

equipment availability, reliability and life,through machine monitoring for repair at first

notification. Repairs made quickly when out-

of-specification is captured, extends the life

of your equipment and reduces downtime

Improve Performance Equipment

reliability can generate improved productivity

RELIABILITY ONLINE THE PROCESS

Programme Objectives Reliability Online consultants meet with you

to review the objectives of the programme

Plant Audit A plant audit will be performed to identify

which assets are to be monitored

Data Collection Based on safety and environmental concerns,

data collection locations are recommended

Based on machine criticality, the best intervals

for data collection are set, either periodic

or continuous

Based on the intervals set, data collection will

be performed by surveillance, walk-around, or

a combination of both

Web Link A web link is provided to connect your plant

to skilled engineers at Rockwell Automation.

Data is uploaded from the data collector to

the secure website

Analysis and MaintenanceRecommendation Reliability Online engineers analyse your data

and promptly report to you the status of your

assets. This report will alert you to the need to

take appropriate maintenance action
