U-ENG: Industrial Diesel Engine Monitoring Solution

Introduction

APM encapsulates the capabilities of data capture, integration, visualization, and analytics tied together for the specific intent of improving the reliability and availability of physical assets.

APM is used in manufacturing industries such as oil & gas, petrochemicals, iron & steel, pharmaceuticals, etc. It helps in understanding the problems caused to the equipment because of varied factors.

One of the primary tasks of the APM is to detect the signs of deterioration at an early stage and prevent substantial damage. In the process, it saves time, money, and resources.

About

Industrial Diesel Engine – Equipment Description

An industrial diesel engine is a heavy-duty internal combustion engine that is designed to power machinery and equipment in various industries. These engines are built to withstand the demands of continuous operation in harsh and challenging environments. They use diesel fuel, which is more efficient than gasoline and produces higher torque and horsepower. Industrial diesel engines come in different sizes and power ranges, from small engines used in generators to large engines used in mining and marine applications. They are known for their durability, reliability, and fuel efficiency, making them a popular choice for industrial equipment.

The Need

To ensure reliable engine performance and determine the optimum time for an overhaul, regular monitoring of diesel and gas engines is necessary. Monitoring helps to determine when it is time for maintenance and what type of maintenance needs to be done.

Key Features

  • Gauges

The critical parameters and KPIs are displayed as gauges in the APM.

    • Key Performance Indicators (Calculated):

    KPIs are essential to be aware of and have a good understanding of the equipment that is being used in the industry. APM assists in keeping a tab on KPIs as well.

    Every industrial equipment/device has its own set of characteristics and traits. APM assists the engineers in better understanding these traits and making informed decisions about the maintenance and performance of the equipment.

    • Alarm

    When the parameters surpass their threshold value, an alarm for the critical parameters previously specified in the APM itself, will be triggered. The customer is instructed to normalize the triggered parameter by the alarm. The customer can also set up an alarm based on their needs. It is possible to view the history of triggered alarms.

    • Report

    You can evaluate, analyze, and print your equipment data with the aid of reports. Additionally, it provides information on equipment utilization on a daily and shift basis in the form of a PDF or excel file.
