InTouch

Technology of contact acoustic monitoring and diagnostics of machines and unit

About Technology

Technology based on registration of elastic stress waves arising under load in materials during defect formation and development

Data interpretation and visualization is performed by an intelligent analysis platform
Incidents are predicted by an AI algorithm
The technology allows to switch to from scheduled repair to a defect dependent one

How Technology Works

Acoustic emission sensors with analog-to-digital converter are placed on the surface of unit under diagnostics

ТCurrent equipment operation data are transmitted to the computing unit.

Comparison of current operation data with the event library

Notification of the system and dispatchers in critical situations

Technological Advantages

Technology Use Case

Flotation control

Registering acoustic emission at the moment of pressure increase due to depressurization

Detecting active acoustic emission source

Identifying defect - pitting cases and reduced pipeline wall thickness

Localizing pitting cases by coordinates according to the method of phase shift estimation during the sensor signal correlation

Confirming defect: detecting defect at acoustic emission point

Business benefits

Higher accuracy of equipment diagnostics

Less downtime related to long unscheduled repairs

Less costs for unscheduled repairs of equipment and structures

Сокращение затрат на техническое обслуживание оборудования
