Successful Trend Monitoring on Modular Test Setups

WILDAU, Germany - Feb. 10, 2014 - PRLog -- How to apply Trend Monitoring successfully to modular test setups? How is it possible to provide data describing operating conditions and status information if each test configuration is characterized by a different operating response? How is it possible to estimate the rig time-to-failure under those conditions? These and further questions about the challenges of Trend Monitoring on modular test setups will be answered by the contribution of AneCom AeroTest to the InnoTesting Conference on 20 and 21 February in Wildau near Berlin.

Trend Monitoring is a procedure in which changes in operational parameters of test engines and facility components are analyzed to identify performance deterioration and malfunction of components. In that way, this method can reduce facility downtime and maintenance costs by making engine behavior more predictable. This ensures an outstanding level of operational readiness, hence a minimum of technical malfunctions and unscheduled maintenance. Trend Monitoring is already being used in industrial scales, e.g. at the monitoring of aero engines ore industry turbines. AneCom AeroTest applied this procedure to modular test vehicles. In this area the advantages of the procedure are apparent, too: The reliability of operation prevents customer hardware from being damaged and an efficient time management avoids delays in customer development programs – two key factors of customer satisfaction.

The contribution of AneCom AeroTest on Trend Monitoring is just one among many on this year’s InnoTesting Conference, a forum for discussion for industry, equipment suppliers, service providers and research institutions. A special focus in 2014 will be on the transfer of testing methods from aerospace to other sectors (e.g. automotive, railroads, maritime shipping…) and vice-versa.
