IoT Virtual Conference: Session 3 - 28:30 by Will Tudoroff, Product Manager Flare Labs Division
In the realm of the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), an emerging problem is how to handle complex data such as vibration. Vibration data is considered complex because it is sampled at a high rate and a single snapshot that an analyst would look at is actually made up of thousands of individual points. With most process, control and analytic systems designed around single value data, the value of vibration data can quickly become lost. This presentation will explain the challenges vibration data brings to the IIoT world and look at how these can be addressed by the use of smart vibration devices.

Spindles are one of the most expensive and sophisticated rotating components on the planet. They rotate at super high speeds with fits and tolerances 10 to 20 times what is required on other rotating devices, such as pumps or motors. If there ever were machines that needed to communicate their health and activity it would be spindles.

It’s hard to think of another environment where an equipment failure could have an immense negative impact on employee safety and lost production than an offshore oil and gas production platform. Yet, offshore platforms are among the world’s most difficult locations to operate and maintain equipment. In most cases, skilled people and supplies can only reach the platform by ship or helicopter, so the cost of bringing technical specialists, replacement equipment, spare parts and tools to the platform is very high. On nearly every offshore platform, oil analysis plays a critical role in alerting the maintenance team to problems that have the potential to damage a vital system and providing information that makes it possible to efficiently allocate scarce resources by planning maintenance based on actual need as opposed to simple intervals of time.
