Real-time monitoring of machinery failures and operating risks

In recent years, the systems of standards containing the term risk have gained popularity in foreign and domestic reference documents, while many industrial enterprises have taken on creating risk-management systems for technogenic safety in order to decrease expenses on Maintenance, Repair And Operating (MRO).

Thus, it is necessary to point out the specific features of the risk management for technogenic safety. Firstly, risk avoidance is impossible, as it would mean the closedown of enterprises with hazardous production facilities. Secondly, to accept the risk is also impossible, since the risk increases together with the complexity and scale of production. Thirdly, transfer the risk to the third party (by means of insurance) is ineffective, as the worst possible consequences of failure inevitably result in losses that cannot be compensated financially. Therefore, it is necessary to focus on risk reduction.

The aim of the article is to present the procedure that allows monitoring the risk of production facilities failures in real time. The specialists of DYNAMICS Scientific & Production Center (DYNAMICS SPC) have been developing and perfecting the procedure for the last 20 years. The computer system for accident prevention and condition monitoring COMPACS^® created by the Center is introduced at dozens of enterprises with hazardous production facilities in Russia and abroad where it monitors the condition of more than 17000 plants, production facilities and machinery of 1700 different types.
