Cost-effective monitoring and protection for smaller plant
Protecting smaller, yet critical items of rotating plant such as industrial fans and pumps has become increasingly important as the focus to improve efficiencies, reduce energy consumption and eliminate downtime has moved beyond protecting more expensive assets such as turbines and compressors. However, achieving the right balance of cost versus benefit in using more sophisticated and expensive systems for smaller machinery operating in less critical applications can be challenging, especially given the exceptionally tough circumstances facing many plant operators today.
