The mechanical and electrical components of the drive train are failure sources that can lead to severe faults and cost unplanned downtimes. That is why Rekor wanted to know the state of their motors. Therefore, the customer needs a partner like Siemens to provide a suitable condition monitoring solution. For the customer it is also an important key for success to utilize their maintenance personnel and equipment in the most efficient way.

Mobile Diagnostics with portable equipment involves dynamic (vibration) and static (hi-pot) tests at regular intervals according to customer needs. 21 motors are analyzed if they have have higher priority on the customer's productivity. Vibration monitoring is the most reliable method to ensure early identification of mechanical faults - often months in advance. A static test analysis shows the conditions of windings. With this solution the customer receives regular, clearly structured status reports from their personal contracts. They can plan their own maintenance schedule according to reports done by Siemens Service experts. The Mobile Diagnostics Services included 2 dynamic tests and 1 static test a year. 


Due to the customer's satisfaction the Mobile Diagnostics service is renewed every three years:

• August 2013: 21 motors
• October 2016: 21 motors
• February 2017: 33 motors
