Omron’s K6PM Thermal Condition Monitor: Predictive Maintenance Reduces Downtime
Effective and exhaustive temperature monitoring has traditionally been performed by skilled workers who are adept with using special thermal monitoring equipment to identify potential concerns. These inspections, however, are becoming increasingly complicated because of the ever-increasing number of devices in a panel that are needed to adhere to compliance standards. Simultaneously, the quality and quantity of maintenance workers is receding, making it challenging to provide real-time analysis of thermal conditions in a panel and develop an accurate snapshot of the system.
Omron’s innovative thermal condition monitor offers continuous thermal monitoring of critical components. The K6PM is compact and can perform thermal monitoring on high-voltage control panels, transformers, hydraulic equipment, data centres, bearings, gearboxes, and more. It utilizes a controller with a built-in display and remotely mounted thermal imaging cameras, automating what previously was a manual thermal inspection process. With Omron’s K6PM, predictive maintenance is possible because you can monitor temperatures in realtime, safely and easily
In this article, Dan Andersen, Marketing Manager, and Juan Carlos Garcia, Product Managerat Omron Automation, discuss the K6PM Thermal Condition Monitor and explain how it can reduce unplanned downtime, increase response time, and help you focus on automatingpredictive maintenance.
