Shoreline helps avoid equipment stress failure for an appliance manufactur

Large American Home Appliance Manufacturer

Prevents Equipment Stress Failure with Shoreline PdM

Observations

TVE (Total Vibration Energy) trend rose from 0.65 ips-pk to around 0.9 ips-pk. Also observed a high 1x in horizontal direction which is indicative of misalignment between the drives.

Observations

Real-Time Monitoring of assets by shoreline AI

Alarm raised on Shoreline APM Platform

An unusually high 1x RPM triggered an alarm.

Shoreline APM platform raised an alarm recommending a PM inspection for the motor.

Supporting Data

Trend chart:

Shows increased vibration levels, prior to maintenance action initiated on 10th Jan’24.

Evidence Of Success

Corrective action taken:

Realignment between the motor & grinder was conducted on 10 Feb.’24. After this action, vibrations decreased fairly quickly.

FFT Spectrum analytics:

Vibration spectra below show the reduction of predominant vibration amplitudes after the maintenance action was carried out.

Spectrum charts below indicate the before and after repairs.

Conclusion:

Actions taken in response to alarm advisory from Shoreline APM platform resulted in reduction of total vibration energy, thereby improving the efficiency and usable lifetime of the machinery involved.
