NormNet Health Management
Would you like to know before
a Truck engine was about to fail and what your maintenance team
should do to prevent or minimize its impact?
Now, You Can!
For the past ten years, Frontier Technology, Inc. (FTI), supported
by the US Air Force, US Army and commercial ventures with investments
of more than nine million dollars, has been developing Equipment
Health Management (EHM) technology that foretells problems before
they become catastrophic or impact operations
The
ability to reduce the cost of operations due to unplanned outages
is a significant challenge today. Outages that occur when systems
degrade or fail unexpectedly often require a service interruption
to repair. The cost of unplanned outages is high. This cost includes
the loss of use of the system or equipment and the cost of repair
plus any negative impact on operations.
NormNet™,
FTI’s EHM technology, provides early warning of future failures
and allows your maintenance team to reduce unplanned outages, increase
system or equipment availability, and reduce maintenance cost associated
with unplanned or catastrophic failures. NormNet™ detects
system abnormalities that will result in problems and permitting
systems to be scheduled for maintenance long before unplanned shutdowns
or catastrophic failures occur.
NormNet™ also assists your maintenance staff in identifying
the source of the problem thus reducing maintenance time and the
cost of repair.
NormNet™ is was designed to operate in dynamic and rapidly
changing environments where even small errors are significant and
where minimizing false alarms is important. It uses statistical
methods, signal processing and pattern recognition methodologies
to accurately model normal operating conditions and to predict increasing
probabilities of abnormality with high accuracy and low probability
of false alarm.
