Equipment health management technology (with smart sensor installed on the equipment) converts traditional fans, pumps and other auxiliary machineries into smart devices. It measures key parameters from the equipment which can be used to gain meaningful information on the condition and performance of the equipment, enabling users to identify inefficiencies within their system and to reduce risks related to operation and maintenance. Maintenance can now be planned according to actual needs rather than based on generic schedules. This extends the lifetime of equipment, cuts maintenance costs and reduces or prevents unplanned downtime due to breakdowns.
