Alternative method for equipment condition monitoring on South African mines
(North-West University, 2018)The practicality of accurate condition monitoring and fault diagnostics depends on the type of parameter measured and the accuracy of the measurement. In the South African mining industry, it is common to find large ... -
The application of signal processing and artificial intelligence techniques in the condition monitoring of rotating machinery
(North-West University, 2003)Condition monitoring of critical machinery has many economic benefits. The primary objective is to detect faults, for example on rolling element bearings, at an early stage to take corrective action prior to the catastrophic ... -
Condition based reliability simulator for power stations
(North-West University (South Africa). Potchefstroom Campus, 2018)The SA Power Utility operates 27 power stations with a total nominal capacity of 41,995 MW, comprising 35,726 MW of coal-fired stations, 1,860 MW of nuclear, 2,409 MW of gas–fired, 2,000 MW hydro and pumped–storage stations ... -
Determining the integrity of single-source condition-based maintenance data
(North-West University (South Africa)., 2022)Data plays a vital role in modern society. With an influx of sensors, data generation is rapidly increasing. Having access to these vast amounts of data enables data-driven decision-making. However, reliable data are needed ... -
Developing an integrated information system to assess the operational condition of deep level mine equipment
(North-West University, 2018)Deep gold and platinum mines in South Africa are under pressure to remain profitable. These mines typically operate at depths of more than 2 km below surface. Complex systems are used to supply the underground operations ... -
Implementing a remote condition monitoring system for South African gold mines
(North-West University (South Africa), 2019)In a modern world, people and industries are increasingly using technology to automate and optimise systems and processes. This also applies to the field of condition monitoring on any level. Several recent academic studies ... -
Quantifying maintenance system efficiency of a lobe blower in a maize mill
(North-West University (South Africa)., 2023-10)This study aims to assist maintenance managers in identifying the need for predictive maintenance on a specific machine. The endeavour is to provide justification for condition monitoring implementation and outline the ... -
A web-based multilevel framework for condition monitoring of industrial equipment
(North-West University (South Africa), 2019)Proactive maintenance strategies aim to maintain equipment before failure and, in doing so, avoid expensive repair costs. Condition monitoring provides relevant stakeholders with information on the mechanical health status ... -
Wireless condition monitoring to reduce maintenance resources in the Escravos–Gas–To–Liquids plant, Nigeria
(North-West University, 2011)The purpose of this research is to reduce maintenance resources and improve Escravos–Gas–to–Liquids plant availability (EGTL) in Escravos, Nigeria using wireless condition monitoring. Secondary to the above is to justify ...
