Want to learn how Yorkshire Water, in collaboration with Samotics, transformed the way they maintain critical rotating equipment across their sewage network and treatment works, leveraging a new condition-based maintenance (CBM) approach?
Watch this webinar to have your questions answered on how to successfully select, pilot and scale condition monitoring technology all while undergoing an internal change management process. Find out how Yorkshire Water have been able to successfully implement a new way of working for maintenance and reliability teams through CBM.
As part of their CBM program, Yorkshire Water is rolling out Samotics’ electrical signature analysis (ESA) technology, SAM4, across more than 4000 assets with four goals in mind:
- Reducing pollution incidents by detecting pump blockages
- Increasing asset lifetime by preventing unplanned failures
- Optimising maintenance resources by cutting down on repetitive trips and reactive maintenance work
- Reducing energy consumption
Introducing new technologies and ways of working at such a scale comes with a change management challenge, and this project is no exception. Hear from Simon Rhodes, Business Transformation Manager at Yorkshire Water, about how his team approached this project and what lessons they learned throughout the journey: from technology selection to organisational changes, and everything in between.
“Our journey toward industry 4.0 has led us to collaborate with a wide range of companies to help enable our new operations and maintenance strategies in Yorkshire Water. One of the most interesting and successful collaborations has been around the use of ESA (electrical signature analysis). Not only are we extending the life of our assets, but we are benefiting by enhancing our environmental performance.” – Simon Rhodes, Business Transformation Manager, Yorkshire Water.
