2 A monitoring system that will more than pay back its investment the first time it prevents an unscheduled stoppage. An invaluable insight that can save you significant time and cost. Your fans are an essential part of your production processes, but they shouldn t be a time-consuming part of your working day. In an ideal world, they just keep running, reliably and taken for granted. But the gamble that everything s fine under the casing has high stakes. Such assumptions can be costly. The Solysmart continual monitoring system is suitable for fans of all types. It will give you peace of mind about what s happening inside your fans, and provide an early warning of issues so that they can be dealt with before they become problems. It will help to keep your fans running at peak efficiency, reduce your total ownership costs and eliminate the costly consequences of lost production. It s an investment that makes real economic sense, while offering peace of mind that your equipment is operating safely. The most dangerous costs are often hidden Total cost of ownership Unproductive and unpredictable costs Known costs Capital expenditure Energy Productivity Lost productivity arising from unforeseen events such as overheated bearings. oil leakage. an imbalance. a misaligned belt or coupling. blade erosion.

3 Unscheduled production stoppages can be very costly Mechanical coupling breakage A mechanical coupling breakage in a cement plant stopped work for five days at a cost of around 100,000. Oil leakage An oil leakage that caused ten days of degraded running in a glassware factory cost approximately 150,000. Damaged equipment Unforeseen damage in a glass manufacturing facility gave rise to potentially catastrophic dangers for the workforce. A comprehensive and intuitive monitoring system The Solysmart system requires no specialist knowledge or expertise from your own maintenance technicians. It is a comprehensive and intuitive system, capable of continually monitoring up to four fans in real time, and providing a preselected level of alerts and warnings about all of the critical aspects of your fans condition and behaviour. Potential problems such as erosion or fouling of the blades, overheating or oil leakage are closely scrutinised, and a full archive of the data is retained for analysis. Defects like blade imbalance or misalignment of couplings are flagged up immediately. Clear and simple touchscreen functionality The outputs of the Solysmart sensors are presented on a clear and easy to understand touchscreen display that uses a diagrammatic approach to indicate the status of the critical fan elements and flag up any urgent issues. It also allows you to examine the historical data and investigate the trends and patterns that can offer invaluable information about future performance. The data can, if you choose, be securely transmitted to our remote monitoring site where we can carry out an expert analysis and recommend maintenance at the right time, neither too early nor too late. We can also, at your request, carry out the necessary maintenance operations quickly and efficiently to minimise any impact on your production schedules. 1. Alerts can be displayed locally or in your control room. 2. Full data curves of historic fan performance are available. 3. Remote monitoring by our specialist team provides detailed diagnostics in real time.

The outputs are displayed on a touch screen display that clearly indicates not only the reading levels but the location of the sensor providing the information, so that a graphic overview of up to four fans is available at any time. For each critical point in the fans, a threestate indicator lights up green when the situation is within normal limits, yellow to flag up a warning and red to indicate an alarm. The historic data recorder will show trends in condition and use, providing information that will be invaluable in pinpointing any damaging shocks that have initiated problems. The Solysmart system is available for either two or three phase power supplies, and can be configured to use either an ethernet port or a 3G or 4G network to transmit data. We can also supply systems that are ATEX certified for use in explosive atmospheres. Features of the Solysmart system include Simultaneous analysis of up to four fans. 16 vibration sensors. Eight analogue sensors. Four static and four static or analogue outputs. Rapid FFT and HFFT signal processing. Interactive touchscreen interface. Local or remote on-site monitoring. Off-site monitoring service. Trend recording. Complete peace of mind in a single package. Solysmart can be provided as a single, stand-alone piece of technology. For maximum reassurance, however, we can provide a complete service package that extends from expert installation, testing and commissioning of the system to scheduled inspections and maintenance. Through remote monitoring, we can continually reassess the condition of your fans and recommend timely remedial action. While the Solysmart system is simple to operate, we can also provide full training that will help your on-site staff to benefit from the more complex messages that can be gained from the data generated.
