Equipment breakdowns created by unforeseen circumstances can cost companies heavily because of the lost production time due to downtime, decreased productivity, and higher expenses associated with maintaining equipment. This is the reason that many companies today have turned to the use of predictive maintenance tools, along with acoustical monitoring, to improve their overall operational efficiency and reliability.

Many traditional maintenance approaches utilize a scheduled inspection or rely on equipment failure to determine when it is time to perform repair or maintenance on that equipment. However, implementing an acoustical monitoring system allows maintenance personnel to detect potential failures prior to them becoming critical through sound data from machinery. Through analysis of the sound data created by the operation of a machine, engineers are able to identify early issues with bearings (bearing failure), compressed air (air leaks), lubricating issues (lack of lubrication), electrical systems (faults in electrical systems), and mechanical components (mechanical defects).

One of the primary benefits of utilizing acoustical diagnostics is the ability to uncover hidden issues that may not otherwise be evident during routine inspections/observations. Through the early identification of potential failures, maintenance personnel have the ability to schedule needed repairs, decrease emergency repairs, and extend the life of the equipment.

Acoustic-based condition monitoring is being incorporated into the predictive maintenance programs of manufacturers, energy producers, oil/gas producers, transportation services, and other industrial companies. The result is improved reliability of their assets, reduced maintenance costs, increased safety for workers, improved efficiency of operation, and improved energy efficiency.

As industrial production facilities proceed with their transition to Digital Technologies; acoustic intelligence has become a fundamental tool supporting proactive Maintenance. The ability of enterprises to utilize sophisticated diagnostics provides them with considerable savings in the form of reduced Down Time and improvements in operational efficiency.
