Web-enabled data management and reporting system

SKF Results Reporter
Adaptable and accessible technology to improve reliability
SKF Results Reporter is a data management
and reporting system that provides a
complete solution for organisations of all
sizes. Available in modular packages, from a
ground level reporting tool to a fully-enabled
web portal for data mining and analysis,
you can select the combination that will best
meet the needs of your business. Figure 1.

stand-alone site to the multi-national
company with assets at locations all over
the world. The end result is a consistent,
familiar single portal that lets you view
the whole reliability picture. Personnel
can collect information at one site, analyse
it at another and view the information
from many locations, making reliability
management easier for you. SKF can deliver
full capabilities to your staff to manage the
information or provide full analysis service
and recommend actions to imrove reliability.

Continuous improvement
To operate a world-class reliability programme you need
to constantly review and analyse the effectiveness of your
programme over a wide range of criteria. Results Reporter uses
historical data and feedback to enable learning and improve
reliability.
Figure 6. Summary of failure by machine type is available throughout.
Results Reporter lets you recommend maintenance tasks
based on data that has been collected and analysed. The
continuous improvement loop is completed as the system allows
you to identify particular problem areas and opportunities
for improvement, by use of Mean Time Between Exception
(MTBE) (Figure 4), fault summary (Figure 5), machinery
template analysis (Figure 6) and percent exceptions by condition
monitoring technique (Figure 7). Additional reports include
detailed cost analysis, cost analysis summary and compliance
reporting.

Do the right thing at the right time

Accessible at anytime via a dedicated web portal, Results
Reporter is an excellent solution for organisations with personnel
at remote locations from the assets being monitored, or for
companies that want to outsource some of their analysis needs,
yet maintain effective control of their reliability programme.

Different levels meet different needs
SKF Results Reporter makes it easy to classify, store, analyse, view and report asset information from your Preventive or Predictive
Maintenance Programmes. Results Reporter builds from level to level to expand your capability to have consistent, standardised data
to facilitate quick, accurate decision making for an individual asset, a complete facility or multiple sites throughout the organisation.

Plant/Site Results Reporter – Level I

The starting point for Results Reporter is a site
that has some form of structured maintenance
management, and sees the benefit of embracing
condition monitoring as a means to increasing
reliability.
Results Reporter Level I gives you access to an asset database (individual or
multiple assets) where the day-to-day information, such as classifications
and scheduling is stored. Status and exceptions are entered by the analyst
with the output being a summary and/or exception report.

SKF Results Reporter case studies
Graphical reporting allows quick problem
recognition
Customer problem
The Senior Installation Manager responsible for an offshore platform
wanted information to be readily accessible to quickly assess status
of any sub system.
Applying Results Reporter
The sea water cooling system was comprised of three pumps and
required two pumps to be in efficient working order at all times to
deliver adequate oil production levels. This required both detail and
summary information. With one redundant pump, the analysis of
all three pumps was typically not deemed critical because when one
pump needed repair, the other pump was engaged to take over and
maintain production.
When the manager routinely reviewed the mimic diagram in Results
Reporter, he noted immediately that two pumps were in alarm at
the same time. Quick recognition of these alarm conditions allowed
repairs to be prioritised and made at a convenient time, minimising
consequential downtime, production losses and reduced profits.
Customer benefits
If both of these pumps had failed and production was reduced to
50%, the resulting cost was estimated at 35,000 barrels of oil per
day in lost production.

anywhere you choose.
Formatted reports provide
comprehensive information and save
time
Customer problem
Monthly reports produced in a word processing program by
an analyst were time consuming and lacked consistency for
historical data analysis and root cause problem solving.
Applying Results Reporter
The Results Reporter Level I program produces
comprehensive, consistent information in a variety of
report formats - automatically.
Customer benefits
Using this feature, the company’s condition monitoring
engineer reduced the time spent producing monthly
reports by approximately 25%. Additionally, all content of
the reports including comments and recommendations
is stored within a database so that a complete collated
history is always available. This then allows fault trends
to be analysed methodically and easily to drive root cause
analysis, problem solving and improve reliability.
