An example of how OstiaEdge™ can benefit an OEM is reflected in the following case study. A gas turbine reliability engineer was reviewing data related to an issue with lube oil pressure during startup of an installed gas turbine generator. The issue had been flagged by automated rules monitoring the startup event. As part of his analysis, the engineer used the OstiaEdge™ Monitoring Suite to perform comparison of startup events across the entire fleet he was responsible for monitoring. The comparison revealed that the lube oil pressure issue was occurring during startup events on multiple turbines. Further analysis with the OEM revealed that the problem was related to a design change and was present on every unit manufactured after a particular date. Individual asset monitoring would not have recognized this problem, and by analyzing the data with a fleet approach, the scale of the fleet wide problem became clear. Utilizing OstiaEdge™, the OEM could have pro-actively identified and corrected this problem before the customer presented it as a warranty issue.
CONTACT US today if you would like to learn more about how the OstiaEdge™ Monitoring Suite can reduce your warranty and service agreement cost.
