From Detection to Prevention

Summary

Effective lubrication management is crucial for industrial machinery, but traditional methods can be labor-intensive and limited. This case study shows how Trico’s Sensei Enabled Opto-Matic Oiler and Machine Vitals sensors identified lubricant loss trends in electric boiler feedwater pumps. With real-time monitoring, the power plant prevented costly failures, improved maintenance efficiency, and ensured reliable operations.

Sensei Enabled Opto-Matic Oiler Ensures Boiler Feedwater Pump Reliability

Reworld™ enhanced lubrication monitoring on their critical electric boiler feedwater pumps using Trico’s Sensei Enabled Opto-Matic Oiler and Machine Vitals sensors. Over five months, real-time data identified lubricant loss trends and event-based alerts, allowing maintenance teams to take proactive action and prevent costly failures. By leveraging advanced condition monitoring, Reworld™ improved operational reliability, reduced downtime risks, and avoided potential equipment damage costing up to $1 million.
