A report published a few years ago claimed for main engines made up about 28% of all machinery claims for the period 2015-2017.
Lubrication failure was found to be the most frequent cause of damage to main engines, costing an average of over USD750,000 to rectify.
Condition monitoring programmes which track the progressive deterioration of components have been cited as an important requirement as they detect anomalies in equipment before major problems occur.
Reliable monitoring equipment is essential for such a programme to succeed. Schaller Automation has been the benchmark for reliable monitoring
equipment for over half a century and continues to be so with new equipment for engine monitoring to make your engine operations safer .

Engine monitoring enables proactive maintenance, which is the performing of preventive maintenance with the aim of detecting and eliminating the root causes of failure BEFORE they lead to breakdowns.
This approach allows performance of maintenance only when necessary and is based on information obtained from equipment monitoring.
Such a practice helps in extending the life of the equipment and reduces the downtime of the equipment, leading to more efficient revenue producing operations.
Proactive maintenance also keeps costs down as components are changed ONLY when required and not based on specified time norms.
