SMART Solutions
PROBLEM
One major U.S. power generation company was looking for a way to predict machine faults in key assets, such as boiler feed water pumps, before they became expensive, catastrophic failures. In addition, this company was looking for fast data collection, accurate fault identification, and remote monitoring to protect the safety of their plant maintenance engineers.
RESOLUTION
