Petrochemical industry
Petrochemistry is undoubtedly one of the most demanding sector in terms of safety at its various operating sites. In addition to offering high quality products that must comply with a number of different standards, petrochemical companies face major constraints when production is halted due to failures that can occur at any time on one or more machines in action. RED makes it possible to continuously analyze the behavior of the various equipment present on production lines, and to predict future machine breakdowns.
Thanks to our RED system, our teams are then able to drastically reduce unplanned downtime and maximize the profitability of your operations. RED is installed directly in the electrical cabinet supplying the machines, making it the perfect partner for predictive maintenance in Atex environments or any other hazardous sector.

Cavitation (Case Study available)
Cavitation is caused by the implosion of air bubbles, resulting in premature wear of your pump blades. Click on the link icon to download th Case Study we created!
Clogging
Clogging causes a loss of efficiency due to objects blocking the machine's flow. They can cause serious damage to the machine if not detected in time.
Bearings
Premature bearing wear can damage your machines and even prevent them from operating at all.
Misalignment (Case Study available)
Misalignment leads to premature wear on your equipment and loss of efficiency, whatever the machine. Click on the link icon to download the case Study we created!
Belt & pulley degradation
Premature belt wear can lead to machine malfunction and loss of efficiency. In particular, total belt breakage leads to machine stoppage.
Chain wear
Like belt degradation, chain deterioration can lead to premature chain breakage and machine malfunction.
Electrical connections
By analyzing current and voltage signals, our system can detect faults in the electrical network supplying the machine to which it is connected.
Stator & Rotor faults
With general motor wear and tear, short-circuits can occur on stators, while cracks or holes can appear on rotor bars. These failures mean that production lines can no longer operate under optimum conditions.
Gearbox fault
A gearbox problem no longer allows the machine to operate in its normal state. RED can detect gearbox anomalies and prevent problems in advance.
Harmonic distortion and unbalance
Unbalance causes vibrations that can damage bearings, drive shafts and couplings. This in turn damages all piping elements and the rest of the installation.
Impeller & blade damage
Impeller & blade damages cause a loss of production line efficiency. It is important to detect these faults before they bring the entire production line to a standstill.
Process change
Process change is a recurrent cause of failure on many industrial machines. Monitoring production lines is just as important during this type of change.
VFD (Variable frequency drive)
Leakage current problems on VFDs can cause electrostatic discharges that can damage parts such as bearings. RED prevents these faults and keeps your equipment in good condition.
Direct coupling
Worn couplings on your machines can lead to misalignment or even breakage of your equipment. RED detects coupling problems and helps to extend its service life and operating condition.
Anchoring issues
A problem with machine anchoring can lead to problems such as misalignment. RED helps prevent this type of problem and restore the production line's smooth running.
Lubrication problem
Lubrication problems cause damage to various machine parts, especially bearings.
