Customer Success Story
Thanks to Additional Analysis Tool - From Experts for Experts
Finnsementti uses the OPTIME wireless solution to automatically and continuously monitor almost all rotating machines in its cement plant on a comprehensive basis. Even without specialist knowledge of vibration analysis, the solution provides easy-to-understand information on the machine condition and possible causes of failures.
However, it was important for the cement manufacturer‘s experts to obtain deeper insights into data from individual machines. For this reason, Schaeffler introduced the ExpertViewer analysis tool, which was initially developed for internal purposes only, available to the experts of Finnsementti. This gives the vibration specialists even more precise insights and they are absolutely satisfied.
Benefit
More knowledge about the condition of the machines through exact depth and root cause analysis
Wide range of analysis tools (e.g. the harmonic and sideband cursors, waterfall diagram)
Intuitive operation of the analysis software – developed with and for experts
Seamless integration into the OPTIME environment
Challenge
Solution
Schaeffler experts recommended the OPTIME ExpertViewer for the more in-depth vibration analysis. This software-based solution provides vibration specialists with a comprehensive collection of analysis tools for in-depth and root cause analysis, enabling the experts to evaluate the large amount of vibration data even more optimally. The various included visualization options also allowed the experts to analyze individual machines even more precisely.
What’s Special
Schaeffler developed the ExpertViewer based on more than 25 years of experience in vibration analysis and would also like to share this expertise with vibration specialists. It can also be used to evaluate data from other Schaeffler condition monitoring products, such as SmartCheck or ProLink CMS.
