"Wayne , I can't thank you enough for repairing the problem in the server. This is a system that has been so valuable to Dunbar works. When the system has been down I have had to rely on the hand held system I have. It is a useful piece of kit but is so time consuming.
Below is a document showing a problem which arose on our main cement mill gearbox. I had only just returned from Germany and my first exercise on a morning is to check Smart Advisor. When there was a fault showing on that piece of plant I was surprised. On checking it out, the sudden trend rise was alarming.
My manager is very supportive to me (because of all the findings we have had from the system) and we acted quickly as per document. It is estimated the savings in lost production and possible gearbox damage would be $1.25 million."
