IMPROVE PRODUCTIVITY
By pinpointing problem areas and hot spots long before they cause critical shutdown, Predictive Maintenance (PdM) also increases productivity:
TESTIMONIAL: In the beginning, we had little to no predictive technologies in place. It was a regular occurrence to not make it through a week without sending a production line home due to critical equipment being down. ATS assisted in establishing a vibration analysis program with data collected internally and analyzed by ATS. ATS then introduced us to IR technologies and started collecting and analyzing photos of our critical systems. With these programs in
LOWER MAINTENANCE COSTS
Cost savings is one of the major motivations behind most Predictive Maintenance (PdM) Programs:
One manufacturer of heavy machinery reduced its repair expenses by $1.7 million with Predictive Maintenance.
Current estimates suggest that the average plant not currently using vibration analysis to monitor equipment can reduce its maintenance budget by 20% with PdM. This can save your company thousands-or even hundreds of thousands-of dollars each year.
A major supplier to the U.S. government’s Defense and Aerospace Program avoided more than $1 million in downtime by doing an infrared thermography scan of its electrical distribution system.
Remember When?
Remember when diagnosing a machine’s condition required nothing more than a screwdriver and a good ear? Well, technology has come a long way.
These days, a host of high-tech tools make it possible to accurately determine the condition of equipment as it operates. This information can then be used to make precise maintenance decisions. The results are improved productivity, lowered maintenance costs, and extended machinery life.
THE BENEFITS OF OUTSOURCING PDM
- No up-front capital required.
- Pay as you go with monthly Purchase Orders.
- You don’t have to worry about upgrades and software changes to PdM equipment-we take care of everything.
- Recognized leaders in Predictive Maintenance bring 230 years of combined expertise to your worksite.
- No vacations, no
lay-offs , no transfers, bumping to other jobs, or light-duty restrictions. - You get all of the service-none of the hassles.
Online or Offline Motor Testing – Which is Right for You?
You might think of your operation like a NASCAR car—a complicated system with lots of moving parts. Among the most important? The motor. In addition, what is true of that car is true for your equipment as well. Motor testing should be a significant part of your...
How to use Corona Detection to Avoid Outages
Listen, we know what might first come to mind when you hear the word “corona.” A beer. A beach. A few moments savored while you are not worrying about your operation. However, corona is not so relaxing if it happens in your high voltage electrical system. In fact,...

February 2019 On behalf of Advanced Technology Solutions (ATS), we would like to thank you for continuing to trust ATS with your PdM program. ATS has been in this industry for over 20 years and we have witnessed tremendous growth in knowledge and technology. If you...
Updating Your Predictive Maintenance Program
Think about all the changes in technology. Only ten years ago, a look back at the hot tech trends of 2009 revealed how things we now take completely for granted were just getting started—and other things that got off to a hot start are no longer part of our lives....
Make a resolution to improve safety and save time and money with a Predictive Maintenance Program
A few years ago, a study determined that only 64 percent of New Year’s resolutions last longer than one month. Sixty-four percent. That’s not so hot. On an academic grading scale, 64 percent is a failing grade. We suspect the problem is the nature of the resolutions...
A Predictive Maintenance Program – The Gift that Keeps on Giving
When it comes right down to it, we know quite a bit about Santa Claus. We know he prefers a cold climate. We know he’s all about the color red. We know he’s married to a long-suffering woman. We know his reindeer can fly for some not-very-clear...
