Results provided from remote locations
SKF Results Reporter provides information transparency to operators regardless of location and enables them to make better decisions and improve the reliability of process equipment.
SKF has released a reliability data management and reporting solution that has been proven in the harsh environment of the North Sea oil and gas industry SKF Results Reporter provides information transparency to operators regardless of location and enables them to make better decisions and improve the reliability of process equipment
Using Results Reporter, reliability data can be analysed in a variety of ways and presented in-depth or in summary form to meet the requirements of users with varying needs.
The system produces uniform, easy to read graphs, charts and reports with just a few keystrokes, allowing engineers to optimise their time and focus on the success of their reliability programme.
SKF Results Reporter is particularly suited to companies with personnel and assets in remote locations because it enables users to access up to date, timely reliability data anytime from any location with an internet connection.
Already used in more than 65 offshore platforms in the North Sea, and three onshore facilities, SKF Results reporter gives today's reliability professional the tools to work proactively rather than reactively.
Available in modular packages, from a ground level reporting tool to a fully-enabled web portal data mining and analysis package, users can select the combination that will best meet the needs of their business.
SKF can deliver full capabilities to an organisation's internal staff or provide an SKF expert analysis service and recommend actions to improve reliability.
Chris Fryer, Condition Monitoring Centre Manager, Aberdeen, states, "Although Results Reporter was developed to meet the needs of the North Sea oil and gas industry, one of the most results-driven industries in the world, it can be used in any industry".
"Today's reliability professionals know that to operate a world-class reliability programme they need to constantly review and analyse the effectiveness of their programme over a wide range of criteria".
"Results reporter combines current information with historical data and analyst feedback to enable learning and improve reliability".
With Results Reporter users can recommend maintenance tasks based on data that has been collected and analysed.
The continuous improvement loop is completed as the system identifies particular problem areas and opportunities for improvement by using mean time between exception, fault summary machinery template analysis and percentage exceptions by condition monitoring technique.
Additional reports include detailed cost analysis, a cost analysis summary and compliance reporting.
Results Reporter gives customers the capability to stay organised and in control of their reliability programme, at any time, from anywhere, optimising their resources and maximising the results.
Wil Chin, Research Director, ARC Advisory Group commented, "With increasing adoption of intelligent systems, the pervasiveness of data overload is making it increasingly difficult for operators to determine its significance impeding productivity".
"Solutions like SKF's Results Reporter that make sense out of reams of data and provide recommendations in practical terms can help enterprises resolve problems while continuously maintaining a knowledgeable workforce".
SKF Results Reporter was developed by SKF Asset Management Services, Aberdeen, Scotland, a business unit of SKF Reliability Systems. Request a free brochure from SKF UK ...
