It’s universally agreed that oil samples provide an excellent insight into your equipment, and the data they generate, when used effectively, can prevent component wear and subsequent failures. The Oil Sample Report Module removes the need for your condition monitoring and reliability teams to review oil sample reports and make decisions on what needs to be done.

We know that only 20% of oil samples are utilised for maintenance decisions, which means 80% of your investment in oil sampling is wasted. We’ve done the numbers and worked out for a typical site that produces 6,000 samples a year at $75 total cost per sample, that’s around $360,000 a year on wasted oil sampling. Within the ECS, the Oil Sample Report Module allows your team to fully utilise all data from the oil sample reports to develop preventative maintenance tasks, automatically and instantaneously. Get the full value from your oil sampling investment.

In many cases, this data is simply used as an alarm to alert a supervisor of an imminent failure or operator mismanagement. However, the data being collected goes well beyond imminent failure alarms. Use of this continuous data stream allows condition monitoring and reliability teams to identify subtle trends and changes in a component’s condition. The On-board Data Analytics Module identifies these changes in the on-board data and creates a work order to get ahead of the issue before a failure presents. Not only does it assist in improving your fleet’s health, it reduces the number of alarms and alerts your team needs to deal with daily.

New generation equipment provides the greatest opportunity to understand its health and performance through the onboard data it collects.

When component failure occurs on equipment, the need to find a root cause is needed as quickly as possible to prevent  other failures across the fleet.

Failure Analysis Support Tool (FAST), can get to the root cause through a combination of a forensic review of historical oil sample reports combined with other investigative tools such as component strip downs, onboard data, and visual inspections. Utilising the ECS, a forensic review of oil sample history can pinpoint the time and likely causes of failure by identifying subtle changes in fluid condition in the past. Customers receive a FAST Report as well as a consultation with the Analyst who prepares the final report which includes:
