SUMMARY:Forecasting failures in industrial rotating equipment - Will Boult
 on\, Faraday Predictive (formerly Artesis)

DESCRIPTION:Rotating equipment (such as pumps\, fans\, conveyors) contribu
 te to the smooth running of modern life\, and failures of this equipment\,
  or of the driving electric motor\, is hugely disruptive for industry and 
 infrastructure. Faraday Predictive monitors the voltage and current drawn 
 by an electric motor\, and through an analysis of frequencies in these wav
 eforms\, tries to predict failures of the driven equipment (thereby minimi
 sing disruption). In this talk I’ll present some simple equipment proble
 ms which we’ve been able to solve and the methods we use to do it\, as w
 ell as an introduction to the much larger body of unknown faults which are
  seemingly impossible to spot.
