Rotork's intelligent asset management system uses data from actuator dataloggers to provide predictive failure analysis through advanced analytics of operational parameters like torque, temperature, and vibration over time. The cloud-based system allows users to monitor multiple actuators from a single interface, visually displaying the current condition of each asset. This helps identify problems before failure occurs, reducing unplanned downtime and maintenance costs through a planned maintenance strategy informed by the predictive diagnostics.
