The Veros System provides a breakthrough software solution that uses non-invasive monitors to continuously monitor electrically powered rotating assets. It analyzes electrical waveform data using predictive analytics to detect emerging problems early, maximize asset reliability, improve efficiency, and ensure energy sustainability. Less than 1% of assets are currently continuously monitored, but the Veros System provides an affordable, easy to deploy solution to monitor the overwhelming majority of critical assets for the first time.

4. the problem
No visibility of what is happening inside the overwhelming majority of mission critical
electrically driven assets. Catastrophe is just around the corner
Major negative impact on productivity and financial performance
1. Globally over 50 million industrial electric motors and power trains.
2. Less than 1% are continuously monitored or measured.
3. They consume over 60% of the world’s electricity.
4. Failures cost US Industry $3 Trillion annually in lost production and repair costs.
5. A failure in one asset in the Oil & Gas Industry can cost over $3M a day.
6. A 1% power efficiency degradation in ONE large motor - $10,000/year
Why is this so?
No cost effective and easily deployable technology has existed until now!

5. keys to good asset health & reliability
• Early detection of emerging problems in the motor and driven
load (both electrical and mechanical
• Measurement of motor efficiency and energy consumption
• Fast and accurate diagnoses
• Timely action to prevent failure
• Route cause analysis to detect failure patterns

6. how does the Veros System solve these problems?
As an example let’s imagine……
• A non invasive monitor was available that you could buy for a few Dollars.
•This monitor could pick up your body’s electrical energy.
•This information is communicated 24x7 to a hosted diagnostic system.
•From this raw electrical energy the system determines developing health problems and
determines risk and pace of deterioration by using predictive analytics.
•This health intelligence is sent by way of alerts and watch lists to your mobile device of choice.
•Remedial action is suggested.
•Action is taken to put plans in place to avoid catastrophe and improve condition going forward.
Now let’s look at the Veros System……

Available Today For All Electrically
Powered Industrial Assets
Key Features
• A non invasive monitor is installed in the motor control center in a couple of hours.
•This monitor picks up the raw electrical waveforms from the incoming power (current and
voltage)
•This information is sent 24x7 wirelessly to a hosted (or on premis) diagnostic system which can
detect from the raw electrical waveforms, any emerging health problems in the motor and
driven load (both electrical and mechanical) a year in advance or more.
•Asset health and motor efficiency elements of intelligence are produced using predictive
analytics.
•Pace of deterioration is determined to allow calculation on the severity of the problems found.

15. what does industry to today?
• For very expensive, critical assets, very expensive
complex vibration systems are the norm (the 1%).
• For everything else they either take the risk and run
to failure or have maintenance crews do physical
monthly checks (routes)
• Some electronic hardware solutions are available
that bolt to the asset but are not enterprise scalable
and are not enterprise software solutions that can be
part of an “Industrial Internet”……………………
