Remote Monitoring
GasTOPS offers a remote monitoring service, MetalSCAN Remote, that permits our clients to monitor the health of their equipment remotely, taking advantage of the Internet to deliver and display equipment condition regardless of where the equipment may be. Via this service, our customers tap into the company’s extensive knowlegebase of machinery failure modes and how these modes of failure can affect the measurements used to monitor equipment health. The service permits operators to easily review equipment status and health and provides a clear and unambiguous presentation of equipment heath against qualified equipment condition and indicator limits. All of the necessary data reduction and analysis is executed behind the scenes, allowing operators to effectively manage equipment downtime.
The MetalSCAN Remote service is readily scalable in terms of both monitored equipment units and the processes or techniques used to monitor the health of these units. We support most of the common sample-based and continuous monitoring processes, including oil debris monitoring, sampled oil analysis, thermography and filter debris analysis techniques. The service can also include automated data interpretation, report generation and maintenance action recommendations via a data-driven, rule-based expert system capability.
Most importantly, the service is backed by our highly qualified and experienced professional staff and by extensive research and in-service analysis of specific machinery failure modes and how these failures can be characterized by the common measurements of machine condition.
