Bently Nevada System 1 Software - Satisfied User
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Daily online monitoring of rotating machinery vibration based on need and on email notification of alarms. Prior to having this online system lots of travel and labor involved with setting up portable analyzers to acquire transient data and many times the event that caused the problem would be missed or gone never to repeat or missed a failure event due to no online monitoring. With Bently Nevada System 1 Asset Health Management Software we capture transient data and can review startup/shutdown data to better diagnose an event or failure to focus our maintenance activities on. System 1 is available across our fleet within our network to view data remotely and accessible via VPN enabling viewing anywhere in the world.
