Remote monitoring – a key to cost reduction

Example: Offshore wind power plants

Such machines can be operated for weeks and months without the permanent presence of a service technician being necessary. If those machines require condition monitoring which is often the case all modern communication technologies are being used in order to avoid expensive travel costs of service experts.

Thanks to those modern communication technologies and e-service functions F'IS is able to telemonitor every plant. The diagnosis center in Herzogenrath close to Aachen (Germany) allows to get in touch with the monitoring system any time and achieve knowledge of the current condition of the machine. The capabilities of F'IS' systems allow to detect deviations from the normal condition and transfer the diagnosis via up to date communication channels. The F'IS expert team is notified automatically and generates an in-depth diagnosis. Depending on the problem different steps are taken and the customer's staff is being supplied with the important information about the machine's condition and the recommended action.
