Industry Challenges When It Comes to Engine Maintenance
Logistics And Supply Chain Challenges
Maintenance and repair of industries like oil and gas, marine, and industrial engines can involve significant logistical challenges, especially for offshore or remote locations. Getting the right parts, and equipment to the site can be time-consuming and costly.
Adhering To Time-Based Maintenance
Traditional maintenance schedules are often based on fixed time intervals or run hours, which can result in unnecessary maintenance, leading to additional expenditures, and can also miss important issues that may arise between maintenance cycles.
Absence Of A Reliable Condition Monitoring System
Without an effective condition monitoring system, it can be difficult to identify emerging issues in machinery before they lead to catastrophic failures, resulting in unplanned downtime and costly repairs.
Remote Monitoring And Real-Time Data Processing
In some cases, machinery may be located in remote or hard-to-reach areas, making it difficult to monitor and collect data in real time.
Interoperability With Other Systems
A challenge for many industrial companies is the interoperability of different systems and equipment. This can result in difficulties in integrating data from different sources into a single platform.

Extend
Machine
Life
Maintaining machines beyond their expected lifespan can save on expenses, but requires an effective monitoring system to identify and address emerging issues.
Difficult to Understand The Results
In some cases, data collected by monitoring systems can be complex and difficult to understand without the help of experts, making it challenging for non-experts to interpret and act on the data.
Dependence On Certified Experts To Interpret Results
Even when data can be understood, it may require the expertise of certified technicians or engineers to properly interpret the results and take appropriate actions.
Lack Of User-Friendly Interfaces And Software
Monitoring systems can also be challenging to use, particularly if the interfaces and software are not user-friendly, making it difficult for operators to access the data and make maintenance scheduling decisions based on it.
Key Features Of Our Engine Condition Monitoring System
A. Global Indicators For The Engine
B. Cylinder-Specific Health Indicator
- We have designed a customized dashboard to view your machine health data live.
- The dashboard is designed to be intuitive, ensuring user-friendliness.
- It is integrated with an on-site IOT panel to enable remote monitoring of your data from the comfort of office.
Installation Requirements of the Engine Condition Monitoring System
The engine condition monitoring system comes up with 2 sensors for monitoring the health of the engine
- RPM /MPU Sensor – for measuring the torsional vibration
- TDC Sensor- for referencing the TDC of the cylinder
The system includes a Magnetic Pickup Unit (MPU) mounted in close proximity to the engine’s flywheel. With the help of the MPU sensor,the system provides the operator with real-time insights into the machine’s health on an easy-to-understand dashboard without requiring data to be sent to the cloud.
Our Engine Condition Monitoring System is Type-Approved by IRS
Neptunus engine condition monitoring software solution has received A Type approval from the Indian Register of Shipping (IRS)
- Asset owner can follow more effective condition-based maintenance rather than OEM recommended time-based maintenance
- The IRS-approved system helps in extending the major overhauls
- The solution can guide to do minor overhauls to avoid catastrophic failure and to increase fuel efficiency
- Assets monitored with a class-approved system has a good resale value
Why Choose Neptunus?
Neptunus Power Plant Services Pvt. Ltd (founded on 24th June 1996) has 25+ years of experience in maintenance and reliability solutions for oil & gas, marine, industrial, and defence asset users across South Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Europe.
As you are aware, our engine condition monitoring system plays an integral role in overall reliability asset management. Asset reliability management (ARM) is a comprehensive strategy essential for optimizing machine maintenance. Central to this approach is the implementation of a condition monitoring system, which plays a pivotal role in asset management by continuously assessing the health of machinery in real time.
Our engine condition monitoring is based on torsional vibration monitoring technology, which is a critical tool for vibration analysis. Its primary function lies in the early detection of machine defects through the analysis of these vibrations.
