The latest development from SKF for optimising the performance of plant machinery is 'Machine Analyst', which is the core platform in a family of reliability software applications that work together as 'SKF Machine Suite'.
Machine Analyst harnesses the power of today's leading software development technologies, to enable machines to not only run reliably, but run better, faster, and longer.
As a Windows 2000 and NT 4.0, 32-bit application, Machine Analyst benefits from both the stability of this platform and the time savings gained from an instantly recognisable interface.
All the features are easy to use and customise.
Windows straightforward editing features extend to all aspects of Machine Analyst's functionality, including database set-up, which allows users to cut, copy and paste portions of the database hierarchy into another section of the database.
As a result, the setting-up of a new machine can be accomplished through simply copying and pasting point set-up information to the new machine template.
The Oracle, 8i relational database used by Machine Analyst provides network efficient client-server architecture and is regarded as today's leading database management solution.
Oracle is recognised for its power, efficiency, security and integrity, and has the capability to support a wide range of data types including text, photographs, and graphics.
It enables Machine Analyst to manage all types of decision related information and to provide fast, efficient and reliable storage, manipulation and retrieval of virtually unlimited quantities of complex machine and plant information.
Machine Analyst is easily and effectively integrated with third-party plug-ins and enables quick and easy development and integration of customers' own internal plant-wide systems, such as Computerised Maintenance Management Systems.
It easily enables the development of modules to facilitate compilation and correlation of data from a wide variety of monitoring systems, including portable data collectors, on-line and wireless systems.
It also provides a means to incorporate lubricant, temperature, thermographic, alignment, balancing, and process information for comprehensive machine analysis, documentation and reporting.
By applying the power of Machine Analyst, along with the range of SKF's technology and service solutions and integrating their own maintenance and management processes, customers will benefit in achieving their overall business objectives of reduced costs, greater productivity and increased bottom line profitability.
