Optimizing availability

Man demonstrating the OneProd MVX system

For increased competitiveness, electricity producers are seeking to optimize their production tool. OneProd dedicated conditional maintenance solutions for rotating machinery (motors, pumps, etc) meet this need.

Field Report #7: Fleet Safety

Experience shows that very unlikely events occur and that plant operators need efficient systems to safely shutdown their plants and to remain in control in case of an unexpectedly complex sequence of events.

Find out how AREVA is helping utilities demonstrate the safety of their nuclear fleets, while reinforcing public confidence.

Through accurately monitoring the operation of machinery and expert analysis of the collected data, the OneProd solutions:

Increase the availability of rotating machinery, thanks to the prevention of malfunction risks and scheduled maintenance operations.
Reduce maintenance costs: the maintenance service schedule is monitored and, if they are necessary, maintenance operations are only started at the most appropriate time.

The range of techniques used (vibration analysis, electrical measurement, lubricant or thermography analysis), along with the expertise of our teams, enables us to draw up comprehensive and reliable diagnostics.

Our modular offer allows us to build the most suitable solution based on our customers' needs and strategies. The guidelines relate to:

Deployed techniques, depending on the necessary monitoring,
The monitoring method, continuous or periodic, local or remote,
Our commitment level, which can go up to a contractual commitment to achieve results.

Improved competitiveness

Rotating machines more available and more reliable.
A safer environment: machine operation is carried out under more controlled conditions.
A positive financial impact from the first year: thanks to lower maintenance costs and increased production.
Reliable diagnostics: thanks to proven methodology and the completeness of the many techniques employed.
A partner committed to results, by means of appropriate contracts.
