EXAKT – What is it… ?

A decision support tool for predicting reliability and optimizing condition based maintenance.

Predict equipment failure. Estimate remaining useful life of equipment. Deﬁne the mix of preventive replacement & run to failure in order to:

Production Reliability – is improved and operating costs reduced by predicting failures before they occur.
Zero Equipment Downtime – before the end of the production run providing operations with a high level of conﬁdence.
Accurate Maintenance Scheduling – by predicting remaining useful life.
Eliminate Analysis of low-impact data – by directly relating condition variables to failure modes with statistical conﬁdence levels.
Reduction of maintenance costs – by optimizing the frequency of preventive replacements.
Effective equipment & component replacement planning – through accurate prediction of remaining useful life.
Accurate failure prediction – for complex equipment, by operating at the component level.
Consistent & accurate prediction model – for each piece of equipment.
Focused on key operating and condition variables – reducing data collection and analysis costs.
Ongoing system maintenance minimized – as a self-checking analyser ensures the on-going accuracy of statistical formulas.
Results at a glance – through easy to read graphs requiring minimal training.

Equipment and component parameters.
Event data from the work order (data relating to events that affect the equipment, such as failures, suspensions, frequency, working age).
Condition data – vibration, oil sampling, temperature etc…
Failure modes.
Preventive and failure replacement costs.

Optimum % balance of preventive replacement and run to failure maintenance.
Cost impact related to current practice.
Statistical validity of alternative models.
Remaining useful life.
Expected time between replacements
Trafﬁc light graph with a current status trend line – the equation of the variables is monitored by EXAKT, with “Replace/Don’t Replace” conclusion in the red zone indicating the need to replace immediately.

Any industry where asset replacement cost or equipment failures are a signiﬁcant part of their operations
Any heavy industry such as mines, steel, metals processing, chemicals, oil and gas, petrochemical, pulp and paper, large transportation (aircraft to truck and bus)
Discrete manufacturing facilities – automotive, electrical, components, furniture, tires, plastics
Process manufacturing – pharmaceuticals, food and beverages
Municipal, state/provincial and federal departments, military, customs, airports
Telecom, gas, electrical, water distribution companies
Success Stories in Urea and Chemicals (compressors and pumps), Mining (haul trucks and shovels), Defence – (frigate diesel engines), and others
