HOW TO USE IOT TO IMPROVE MECHANICAL SEAL
RELIABILITY?
2

• Internet of Things or IOT is the new sensation.
  It is an appealing and exciting concept.
• Nowadays, IoT has been widely used all over
  the world.
• Even in the field of mechanical engineering, it
  could be a game changer by improving mechanical
  seal performance and reliability.

3
How can it be used for this?

• To understand that, we need to understand the
  maintenance philosophies in the mechanical
  world. There are three types of maintenance
  concepts reactive, predictive, and preventive.
• Specifically, with mechanical seals, the
  prominently used
• bideologies are reactive and preventive.
• Here, the IOT can make a difference. It can
  enable the industry to progress with an
  effective predictive maintenance schedule.

How is predictive maintenance
better than reactive?

• The reactive maintenance replaces equipment when
  it gets damaged or broken. In the case of a
  mechanical seal, the failure of the seal results
  in secondary damage to the pump as well as a
  support system. You may have some unplanned
  shutdown as a consequence.
• The predictive maintenance, on the other hand, is
  based around the knowledge of when and why a part
  may fail in the future?
• To do that it is essential to have a deeper
  understanding of how the equipment is running.

Iot and predictive maintenance

• It is possible to make predictive maintenance a
  reality by using IOT. It is a tool that has
  fantastic capabilities because of device
  connectivity, data collection, data storage, data
  protection, and data analytics.
• The use of IOT increases the interconnectivity
  and makes it easy to identify the maintenance
  needs beforehand.
• Take the example of a mechanical seal. It needs
  to be instrumented and connected to an
  internet-based or local data analysis system.
• It is easy today with the use of sensors,
  controllers, and other monitoring equipment that
  have the capability of connecting other devices.

• The equipment can record, store, and transfer
  data to be used for analysis. This connectivity
  creates an IOT platform that can give an insight
  into how the mechanical seal is performing and
  when it could fail.
• This data analysis brings real benefit of the
  mechanical industry.
• When IOT tells that there is a possibility of
  mechanical seal failure, you can order the
  necessary parts and supplies.
• You can have a planned downtime, which is more
  efficient and cost-effective than an unscheduled
  one.  As the possibility of failure of
  mechanical seal drops, it increases operational
  safety. A reliable mechanical seal operation is
  guaranteed if you have predictive maintenance in
  place.
