- c 1 Outstanding ROI … Payback from a System 1* installation is typically achieved in less than one year – some customers have even seen their system pay for itself in as little as one week! How? Through numerous important benefits that all impact the bottom line: • Increased safety A single “miss” on safety or the environment can be disastrous. Proactive capabilities mean fewer, less severe mechanical failures that could impact people and the environment. • Improved reliability and availability Healthy assets are assets you can depend on when they are needed. Problems can be identified and dealt with early in the progression of symptoms – before they translate to expensive downtime. • Optimized maintenance costs System 1 helps you plan maintenance by allowing you to base decisions on actual condition – so you can fix only what really needs fixing and address problems when they are small and less expensive. • Lower energy costs Energy costs are often a plant’s single largest operating expense. System 1 helps assess and correct the conditions that waste energy. • Fewer forced outages, less lost production Even the most expensive repair and maintenance costs are often eclipsed by the enormous costs of lost or reduced production. System 1 can generally save one or more days of lost production due to mechanical failures in the first year alone, often paying for the entire system in a single “event.” • Increased thermal efficiency/optimized heat rate System 1 can provide the information you need to understand and correct degradations in these important parameters, and optimize the balance between energy costs, maintenance costs, and production revenues – often translating to significant financial benefits. 4
