Cut oil consumption and maintenance costs by up to 30%
Our transportation monitoring system helps you to cut oil consumption and maintenance costs by up to 30%. Both planned and, particularly, un-planned downtime represent significant operating costs to a transportation provider and early detection of potential equipment issues is vital for a mobile asset. This results in aggressive maintenance schedules based solely on operating hours that ignore the actual equipment status and result in significant unnecessary maintenance and oil wastage. Tan Delta’s transportation monitoring solution uses advanced real time oil analysis to tell you the actual status of your oil and thus when equipment maintenance is really needed. Instantly optimising maintenance programs whilst maintaining engine reliability and continuous oversight.
Case Study Summary:
Customer
A European passenger rail company with 100s of diesel engines on more than 30,000kms of track.
Problem
Usable oil is disposed of, and the fleet sees excessive downtime due to the rigid time-based maintenance schedule. The operator needs to minimise maintenance costs whilst maintaining and even increasing reliability.
Solution
Each asset has been easily retrofitted with a Tan Delta SENSE-2 kit. SENSE-2 continually analyses and tracks actual equipment and oil condition, accurately informing the maintenance team when to undertake maintenance based on actual equipment need instead of operating arbitrary schedules.
Result
Changing to a condition-based maintenance schedule using Tan Delta has enabled the service interval to be increased from 400hrs to 539 hours, resulting in a 26% reduction in maintenance costs and oil consumption. Service disruptions can be minimised as the Tan Delta system will detect any equipment anomalies or contamination before damage, enabling preventative maintenance.
