Land-based Checks of Offshore Machinery
SINTEF is in the process of developing a sensor that is capable of registering abnormal vibration patterns in machinery on board offshore platforms.
SINTEF is collaborating in the Wivib research project with ABB and SKF to develop the vibration sensor that can be installed, for example, on machinery that drives pumps. Abnormal vibrations may be a sign that a machine is in the process of breaking down.
The sensor is initially intended to be used on offshore platform machinery, and will be installed as a package comprising battery, antenna and circuit board.
