What is a Motor Failure?
A motor failure occurs when the motor is
unable to perform its required
function.
Typical failure modes:

Bearings

Shorted / open windings
These are apparent failure modes.

Motor Condition Management
Manage Motor Condition
1.
Create a “no failures in service” mandate for critical
motor.
2.
Integrate all condition information
3.
Communicate in a highly visible manner
4.
Easily capture condition entries, documentation of failures
in service, and motor down
5.
Link condition information to failure analysis
6.
Require validation and closure of condition calls
7.
Maintain a History of Condition Results

Integrating & Communicating
Condition Information
Several predictive technologies apply to motor including:
Current and
voltage analysis

Megger readings
Thickness

Ultrasonics

Vibration



Lubrication analysis
Process

MCSA

PdMA analysis
Flux analysis

Thermography
This information is coming from different analysis packages with
different databases, different analysts, and different reporting methods
often to different people in the operating areas.
Tango allows all the predictive technologies to be compiled into a single
integrated view of a given piece of a motor’s condition. This allows
proactive scheduling of motor repairs and helps prevent failures in

area.
Color-coded

Data Mining
The Developers of Tango cannot develop
reports which answer every question a
user may have.
Data Mining was developed to allow users
to investigate their data and interact
with it to provide answers and solutions
unique to the plant and user.

What Exactly is Data Mining?
Data mining is a way of finding relationships and
patterns in data.
Examples:
MTBF by Equipment and Location
High cost equipment and Locations
Cause of failure for equipment and locations
Failures by design, vendor, equipment type
You can’t improve what you can’t measure!

What does Data Mining Offer?

A way to partition information into meaningful
chunks




What are my causes of failures?
When did I have the most failures
Allows you to sub-divide into smaller chunks
Helps you make sense of your information



Which vendor sells the best product?
What failure mode occurs most often
What failure mode occurs most quickly

Standard Data Mining Tools


Tango’s Data Mining uses OLAP to
provide a standardized Data Mining
database
Many commercial Data Mining tools
exist for operators on OLAP databases

Reliability Improvement
In large plants with thousands of critical motors,
failure may occur rapidly and repetitively, but no
one realizes there is a reliability problem.
Tango’s main function is to solve this problem by:



Identify which motors are failing rapidly and
repetitively
Identify equipment groups and location groups with
high Repair cost
Identify root cause of failure. Aggressively eliminate
root causes

Savings From Motor
Management




Decrease in cost of repairs &
replacement motor
Increased process availability – more
production.
Reduced maintenance labor & overtime.
Increased safety from reduced failures
in service and emergency replacements.
