Information

Port equipment failures are usual gradual. Different status parameters can indicate a deterioration. Vibration condition monitoring opens up the ability to make predictions. Vibration and friction occur long before a system/machine fails. Through active monitoring, potential damage can be detected months in advance. Weeks to days before the system fails, increased noise and heat occur.
