1 PredictiveOnLine PREDICTIVE SYSTEMS ENGINEERING Vintec Knowledge Ltd.

2 THE OPPORTUNITY Equipment maintenance consumes 7-14% of industrial production costs. –Industries cannot afford shutdowns. –Unscheduled repairs are very expensive. –Industries cannot afford having highly trained and educated staff on their maintenance payroll. –Communication between academia and technicians is often lacking.

3 THE PSE SOLUTION Based upon early detection of incipient failures condition maintenance : – Prevents breakdowns. – Reduces repair expenditures. – Reduces the volume of calendar maintenance.

NEW SERVICE PHILOSOPHY Corrective maintenance action needs to be done when needed, and not just to follow a schedule. Early detection of incipient failures provides savings in repair expenditures. Periodic maintenance according to the actual state of monitored equipment reduces the volume of periodic maintenance.

5 PRODUCT CONCEPT –Disruptions develop before malfunctions and not suddenly! –Malfunctions are avoided by early detection of disruptions!

THE E-MAINTENANCE CONCEPT Long Distance diagnostics, our new motor current diagnostics, Ultra-Sound emission analysis and other diagnostic techniques will revolutionize existing maintenance practices.

7 BENEFITS Prevents Equipment Breakdowns. Increases Equipment Availability. Increases Equipment Life. Decreases Maintenance Expenditures. Supports Less Skilled Human Resources Provides Diagnostics Information.
