黑料社

Emerson黑料社檚 Power Transmission Solutions has introduced the industry黑料社檚 first tool for tracking the location, life history and latest revision drawings and installation instructions for all critical drivetrain couplings owned by customers, whether installed or in spares inventory.

The web-based tool was developed by Emerson黑料社檚 Kop-Flex business unit, known as the asset management program (AMP) for couplings.聽 The tool accurately identifies couplings, graphically displays the location in a specific drive, identifies parts/couplings at the site that are interchangeable, makes assembly drawings and gives a detailed service history and action to be taken during service intervals.

Parimal Deshpande, Senior Industry Specialist for Kop-Flex, commented: 黑料社淧lant engineers plan shutdown maintenance with tight timeframes, yet they struggle to identify coulplings by make, model, serial number, stock code, manufacturer黑料社檚 part number, .etc.

黑料社淎dding to this disorganization are emergencies. Engineers may take parts from new or old couplings and use them in repairs. This is not only bad practice because of balancing issues, but it makes its almost impossible to track where these parts went, a nd what黑料社檚 been stripped from old or new couplings. In a couple of years, they have no idea what黑料社檚 happening. Moreover, it黑料社檚 very difficult to track the service history of couplings. Customers told us there黑料社檚 no commercially available software designed with a friendly , useful system to organize the needed information the way they黑料社檇 like to access it. Coupling AMP address this void黑料社�.

Coupling AMP has been designed to categorise, display and log information in the same way that plant engineers already visualize it: 黑料社淓ngineers sometimes identify couplings by serial number, assembly drawing number or their own stock code黑料社�, explained Joe Corcoran, Manager, Global Services and Training for Kop-Flex. 黑料社淔or them, we have a search function. More commonly, rotating equipment engineers know the exact location of a coupling be heart, and for these cases there is an 黑料社楨quipment Overview黑料社� which is the first stage after login黑料社�.

Custom AMP黑料社檚 custom graphics display specific drive configurations for rotating equipment. By clicking on a coupling, AMP opens a 黑料社榗oupling card黑料社� with all the related information. The system also maintains records on customer training, troubleshooting analyses, service reports in a history associated with a specific serial number. The information is available 24/7 via the internet.
