Effective ways to reduce plant downtime and increase productivity in the manufacturing plants are enlisted below –  Downtime is the loss of productivity in manufacturing industries due to the lack of equipment maintenance, real-time machine health data insights and human error. It is one of the most critical issues in the processes and operations of…

Ultrasound can be effectively used for predictive and condition based maitnenance for detecting rubbing, lubrication, leaks, bearing and gear faults. It can also be used for detecting arcing in electrical equipment’s. Overview Sound waves with frequency over the human audible frequency range are called ultrasound. These are sound waves that have a frequency of 20…
