Monitor, Analyze and Optimize (MAO)


Best in Class operations have one thing in common - an effective condition monitoring program that delivers results.

Achieving high reliability is just one example of the benefits achieved with our monitoring service.

Our goal is help you:

  • maximize reliability and availability of production equipment,
  • optimize machinery performance,
  • minimize operating costs.

These improved business results generate an exceptionally high return on investment. 

Monitor, Analyze, Optimize (MAOTM)
BETA's MAO service is a customized monitoring program to support turbines, centrifugal machines, reciprocating compressors, pumps, motors, engines and other assets.

It is ideal for production facilities, gas plants, offshore facilities, refineries, other compressor installations.

Monitoring Challenges
Many production facilities face these challenges:

  • Operators don't have time to analyze machine data
  • The amount of data is overwhelming (overload)
  • Proprietary software programs are expensive and difficult to maintain
  • Staff shortages, turnover, and retirement cripple the monitoring program
  • The program doesn't produce tangible benefits

BETA's service addresses these challenges and results in improved asset management and reliability.

MAO Delivers
Equipment Optimization and Bottom Line Improvements – summary of cash flow indicators including availability statistics, performance inefficiencies, and cost associated with potential equipment failures (operating metrics summary) Economic and Performance Indicators

Immediate Alerts & Alarms – as equipment conditions change

Fleet or Plant Summary – simplified report card showing status of each machine (see monthly equipment summary below).
This popular “drill down” report summarizes status and provides only the details you need. This saves customers significant time; you just make decisions, rather than conducting further analysis.

Equipment Report Card – as a situation arises, we provide detailed equipment information with key condition indicators and details.

BETA Analysts– access to BETA’s team of machinery consultants. These experts can assist with field troubleshooting, turnaround support, improvement initiatives.
