A power plant faced two catastrophic gearbox failures caused by wear debris and contamination, resulting in over $800,000 in costs. Key issues included infrequent oil sampling, delayed action on critical data, and insufficient contamination control. What Changed? The facility revamped its maintenance strategy, adding filter carts and improving procedures to proactively address contamination. The result? Reduced downtime, fewer oil changes, and significant cost savings. Predictive maintenance works when insights lead to action. How are you turning data into results?
