A Mechanical Healthcare Plan

Motor Operation Gets Big Boost from Smart Technology (Here’s How to Take Advantage).

By Matthew Jaster, Senior Editor

Let's say 100 motors are running in a mining, oil and gas, or metal refinement operation. These facilities are probably in the middle of nowhere; not exactly ideal conditions to have a full-time engineer on-site to make sure the mechanical assets are running properly 24/7. In the past, manufacturers had little choice but to be reactive when motor loss occurred or a mechanical system was in need of some troubleshooting for an application like this. From a cost and/or safety perspective, this was typically bad for business.
