| E-Technology Allows Remote Witness Testing (03/08/2004, Technical News) |
|
|
The first official remote witness pump test was performed via Internet in the Sulzer Pumps Portland, USA, facility in April and viewed remotely by an engineering contractor who was located in England. The MSD pumps in this order are offshore water-injection units for installation in Nigeria. The remote-witnessing experience received positive feedback from the customer. This breakthrough will enable the migration of e-testing into other Sulzer Pumps manufacturing facilities. The system, which was developed in house, displays views from three individual cameras and has the ability to select and view a data acquisition screen including real-time performance data, temperatures official performance data and vibration measurement.
