How the work runs

The pressure that made this worth automating, the steps the system runs, and what came out the other side.

Pressure & Trigger Points

Turbine and pump maintenance was performed on rigid calendar intervals, resulting in unnecessary servicing of healthy assets and unexpected bearing failures.
Vibration and bearing temperature anomalies developed rapidly between quarterly manual technician inspections, causing catastrophic shaft seizures.
Replacing a damaged high pressure pump shaft cost $180,000 in emergency machining and 5 days of lost utility pumping capacity.
