Webinar: How to reduce downtime with digital twins and predictive maintenance in industrial gear units

Plant operators are constantly being challenged to minimise costly system downtime by being able to accurately predict the future performance of their operating equipment. This is made possible with a comprehensive predictive maintenance solution from SEW–EURODRIVE. Read more

Understanding LVDT requirements for downhole drilling

LVDT has been proven as a robust, reliable non-contact position measuring sensors for downhole drilling application. It is capable of withstanding extreme temperature, pressure, shock, and vibrations while also delivering accurate results. This article discusses in depth what the design considerations are for LVDT sensors and how new materials and design may potentially unveil an opportunity for taking it deeper.

Rail Survey – The Importance Of Staying On Track

This whitepaper discusses the problems caused by uneven crane rails, non-tracking related crane runway issues and physical signs of crane rail and wheel wear. Rail surveys are remote control operated to avoid dangerous work near the runway tracks. They reduce downtime by identifying problems upfront and is only required as problems arise, which in turn saves more time.

The Radar Sensor For Liquids VEGAPULS 64

In some industries, the specific safety requirements go far beyond what is prescribed by TÜV or national laws. Especially great is the need for safety in the petroleum processing industry, for example in storing liquid gas in spherical tanks. This whitepaper shows that thanks to the powerful signal focusing of the new VEGAPULS 64, new areas of application for non-contact radar measurement technology are now opening up.

Wired For Success

The ‘mining boom’ represents one of the largest shocks to hit the Australian economy in generations. Despite the economic slowdown in the last few years, there has been no avoiding the exponential growth that the industry has gone through for the decade. Read more

Gasless Flux Cored Arc Welding (FCAW) Wires vs. MIG?

Welding in a workshop is an ideal situation for a tradesperson, with equipment they require at their disposal for fabrications, along with comfort and shelter from external elements. This whitepaper shows how a construction project requires a fair bit of planning and preparation to ensure all welds, especially those in pressure vessels and pipelines, surpass testing standards.

Airwell Embraces Technology To Deliver Better Water Services

This whitepaper discusses how Airwell has embraced new telemetry, airwell pumps and flow testing technology to deliver better water services to clients. Read it to find out how these technologies can apply to your specific business context whether it be a tailings dam, CSG gas well or other business contexts.

How “Smart Bins” are Improving Industrial Supply Chains

Walk into any of the most high-tech manufacturing facilities, distribution centres or warehouses, and you’re likely to find a bin arrangement that feels out of place and dated. Bins, arranged in rows that are stacked on top of each other, hold all the vital parts and supplies that keep business moving – fasteners, tools, tape, wiring, personal protective equipment and anything else that can be imagined. Read this whitepaper to discover how Apex’s ACTYLUS technology can improve your supply chain and bin arrangement.

How Wood Group Improved The Safety Of Its Welding Operations

This whitepaper shows how while undertaking preheat and post-weld heat treating work for one of Australia’s largest Gas Conditioning Plants, Wood Group PSN saved $1 million in contracting fees, nearly 150 working hours, and delivered improved safety outcomes, thanks to the Miller Pro Heat 35 Induction Heating system and the training and support from Welding Industries of Australia (WIA).

Tank Farm Monitoring

Meeting Australia’s IEA treaty obligations will require refinery, terminal and storage operators to establish automated tank farm monitoring and inventory management solutions. In April 2015, the Department of Industry and Science published its Energy White Paper 2015, “to provide an integrated Australian energy policy framework” that will be “consistent with the Government’s vision for economic reform and future competitiveness”. The main focus of this e-book is on improving competitiveness in the energy sector, more productive use of energy and investment in innovation.

Wireless Pressure Gauge Technology for the 21st Century

Process industry pressure gauges have been serving the industry since their invention more than 160 years ago. These mechanical gauges offer relatively good measurement at a low price. However, they routinely fail, provide unreliable information, and cause concern for plant operators. Important maintenance decisions made based on readings from these gauges may compromise plant safety and productivity. In 2016, Emerson finally gives the century-old device an upgrade!

The new Rosemount(TM) Wireless Pressure Gauge has a robust design that resists common failures, delivers reliable information about plant equipment and continuously informs users of its status.

Industry-proven sensor technology provides overpressure protection and multiple layers of process isolation for improved safety and reliability and delivers up to 10 years of maintenance-free operation.

Digital electronics confirm proper gauge operation through local status indication and WirelessHART® technology delivers reliable field data communications as frequently as once per minute.

Modern advances in pressure gauge technology provide a number of advantages for use in demanding process plant applications. To learn more, download the whitepaper.
