Condition based monitoring saves £30,000

Outcome

MARCH helped a global food and beverage ingredients supplier improve the reliability of critical production equipment by introducing a predictive maintenance strategy for a recirculation pump operating 24/7. Through condition based monitoring and vibration analysis, potential failures were identified before they occurred, reducing maintenance costs, preventing secondary equipment damage and improving asset reliability.
