McLanahan has developed a condition monitoring program to help customers keep an eye on the health of their machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was developed for three primary reasons: to allow customers to understand the health of their machine, to allow McLanahan technicians the ability to dial into the machine remotely and to pass any data back to the McLanahan engineering team to improve future machine designs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt allows us to better understand the condition of the machine out in the field so that we can better service our clients in terms of purchasing spare parts or scheduling maintenance on the machine,\u201d explained Electrical Design Manager Daniel Fairwebster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cCondition monitoring is typically a slow-moving animal, so we\u2019re looking at trends over a long period of time to actually see how the machine is performing, but because it\u2019s a real-time operating system, we do have the data immediately, so if there is something that happens unexpectedly, we do get that data and can generate a report as it happens.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The condition monitoring program is a modular package that consists of sensors that are strategically placed around the machine. These sensors are connected to a remote data communication device that sends the data back to McLanahan. From there, McLanahan technicians interpret the data and share it with the customers to improve their maintenance programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCustomers can then take their maintenance strategy from planning just based on a calendar event to actually determining whether the machine does require some form of maintenance,\u201d Fairwebster said. \u201cThey can potentially push out maintenance windows or they could bring them forward, depending on the condition of the machine. That can help reduce unplanned downtime and the like.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The condition monitoring package can be easily added on any existing machine or installed as part of a new build. It can be tailored to fit any size operation and to monitor a variety of machine component conditions, including temperature, vibration, pressure and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe McLanahan condition monitoring package can be installed on the full suite of McLanahan equipment, from the smallest machine to the largest machine,\u201d Fairwebster said. \u201cWe can offer a machine with a basic level of package, which is a basic level of instrumentation, and we can scale it up accordingly as required.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
