Abstract
Heavy rotating equipment like compressors, turbines and pumps are
more susceptible to mechanical failure than non-rotating equipment.
Periodic health monitoring of rotating equipment is necessary to
ensure productivity and to extend longevity. Remote health
monitoring of rotating equipment by harnessing cloud computing
can appreciably reduce the cost. In fact, it offers a dual benefit
remote monitoring compared to monitoring by qualified staff onpremise, and second, use of the cloud to reduce IT overhead. This
article describes the benefits to end users of using cloud for remote
monitoring of their assets.

Conclusion
Remote monitoring of rotating equipment adds value to all
stakeholders (end users and OEMs). Continuous monitoring
ensures very little productivity loss due to unplanned shutdowns. By
offering the services on cloud, end users pay a nominal fee on a
monthly basis to have all their rotating equipment insured for health.
Due to cloud infrastructure, OEMs will be able to offer added
features at very low cost.
