How can you know better than your measurements?
By ENEXSA - Energy Expert Software Applications
Sensor signals are indicators of reality, but nothing more, In addition to inaccuracy due to the measurement principle, degradation, signal noise, or miscalibration, it may simply be the fact that the location of the sensor is not representative for the overall process stream, which creates discrepancies when looking at equipment performance. In order to make condition- based maintenance effective, the equipment KPI must be accurate and reliable, and this is only the case, if the input data for the performance analysis are correctly reflecting the actual process. And it is of course of high value, if faulty sensors are identified, so that the resulting deviations are not mistaken for equipment problems.
