Second seal of quality for FAG’s WiPro system – Additional
certification for the monitoring center of FAG Industrial Services in
Herzogenrath
HERZOGENRATH, August 18, 2005 – After thorough examination, the
Hamburg-based insurance company Germanischer Lloyd WindEnergie GmbH has
certified the WiPro online condition monitoring system from FAG
Industrial Services GmbH (F’IS) and also the company’s monitoring
center for wind turbines in Herzogenrath. This is the second seal of
quality for the online condition monitoring system which was designed
to meet the specific demands of the wind energy sector. The first WiPro
certification was granted by the Allianz Center for Technology (AZT) at
the end of 2003. With the recent certification by Germanischer Lloyd,
F’IS is now one of just a few service companies to boast a
certification for its monitoring center in addition to that for its
condition monitoring system.
Within the scope of the examination the inspectors checked both the
monitoring system and the monitoring service center in theory and later
in practical operation on site. Structures, procedures and documents
were focused upon during the certification of the F’IS service center.
This very comprehensive control safeguards the organizational part of a
highly efficient monitoring process necessary to keep track of a larger
number of facilities. Checkpoints include courses and further training
events for the service employees as well as detailed job descriptions
in the service area.
The certification by Germanischer Lloyd confirms the long-standing
expertise of F’IS in the development of condition monitoring systems.
At the same time the insurers certify the excellent qualifications of
the service employees working in this area, whose knowhow in damage
analysis is not only restricted to the wind energy sector, but also
covers a variety of other market segments. These include for instance,
the remote monitoring of drives in cruise liners as well as
applications in paper factories, power plants, cement mills or the
steel and aluminum industries.
In addition to the obligatory automatic condition monitoring, the WiPro
system from F’IS stands out because the amount of data per facility can
be kept low without losing any damage-relevant information. Thus the
system is also suitable for monitoring wind farms with a larger number
of wind turbines.
