Alps Electric (Ireland) Limited has reported significant efficiency improvements in its engineering maintenance processes since the installation of Mainsaver CMMS from Spidex Software. Alps, which supplies automotive electronics to some of the biggest motor manufacturers in the world from its plant in Millstreet, Co. Cork, runs Mainsaver version 10.2 alongside the complementary web-based modules Spidex WMM and Spidex BI.

“Before we introduced Mainsaver, our day-to-day maintenance activities were generating large quantities of paperwork and the objective was to remove as much of that as possible,” says Maintenance Supervisor Michal Ostrykiewicz. “Our two biggest sources of paper were preventative maintenance job sheets and purchase requisitions, so that’s where we started.”

Artesis, a leading supplier of intelligent predictive maintenance solutions, is pushing the boundaries of machine monitoring technology with its next generation solution. Delivering a range of powerful new functionality the Artesis MCM (Motor Condition Monitor) system now includes wireless technology for deployment in remote and inaccessible locations; fully automated condition assessment reports for even faster diagnostics; and the ability for engineers to easily and quickly customise the application for wider enterprise use.

Building on the success of the MCM system that has revolutionised automated fault diagnostics, Artesis has now integrated robust wireless technology, using intelligent GPRS modems, to allow the use of remote communications in condition monitoring. This allows cost-effective, easy installation of wireless monitoring stations at any site in remote, hazardous or inaccessible locations, while maintaining reliable and transparent access with centralised users via the Artesis communications server.

Until now, absolutely oil-free compressed air for sensitive applications could only be produced using relatively costly, often interconnected compressor- and filter-based technology.

In many cases not entirely re-liably. Now a newly developed and effective catalysis method and an extremely reliable residual-oil monitoring system point the way to the future of permanent high-quality compressed-air processing and moni-toring.

Testo, one of the leading worldwide suppliers of humidity measurement technology, now offers a humidity transmitter for hazradous areas. The new Testo 6682 humidity transmitter for Ex applications meets the most stringent requirements for process monitoring in industries including pharmaceutical, chemical and process technology.

The Testo 6682 humidity transmitter is intended for protection class ATEX II 2 (1) G Ex ia [ia] IIC T4, the digital testo 6616 humidity probe for protection class ATEX II 1/2 G Ex ia IIC T4/T3.
