Dynamic P-F Curve

Technical

The concept of Dynamic P-F Curve is introduced to represent Equipment Degradation with varying operating conditions. The conventional P-F Curve is static, difficult to use for maintenance planning, and needs to be re-analyzed with new readings.

Dynamic P-F Curve connects with the streaming sensor data & uses algorithms to plot automatically. It gives the following advantages:

  • Changes with varying stress & environmental conditions
  • Maintenance plans can be tailored in real-time
  • Systems with complex sub-assemblies can be represented in a single plot*
  • Alarm points can be moved to accommodate Repair time
