Applications

Machinery Condition Assessment or the more traditional term, condition-based maintenance, uses a variety of predictive technologies such as vibration, oil/wear particle analysis and infrared thermography to identify and diagnose a wide variety of equipment problems common to most industrial applications. Vibration analysis which is the primary focus of DLI engineering is widely considered to be the most effective predictive technology for rotating machinery. DLI Engineering has been a pioneer in vibration-based condition analysis since 1966. Our customer base extends across commercial, military and government industries worldwide. The following is a sample of the industries using DLI products or services:

Benefits

Predictive or Condition-based Maintenance offers a significant return on investment when implemented properly in any industrial segment that utilizes rotating machinery. Customers that fully implement the DLI methodology have realized benefit to cost ratios of up to a 20 to 1. As your partner with 40 years of proven experience, we take the risk out of your investment. Typical areas where savings can be realized are: 

• Reduced equipment downtime
• Reduced labor costs associated with unplanned maintenance
• Reduced number of equipment spares and/or repair part inventory
• Improve overall plant reliability

The engineers at DLI use our proven methodology for vibration analysis every day in our worldwide engineering service business. We provide accurate machine fault diagnosis and repair recommendations using our ExpertALERT™, Machine Condition Assessment Software. This highly automated software tool allows our engineers to spend their time reviewing the most critical problem machine not on the machines in good operating condition. This prioritization of machine condition is the single most important efficiency that DLI Engineering can offer.
