• Impact-RLW Systems Introduction

• Condition Based Maintenance

• Monitoring Technologies as Part of a Comprehensive CBM Strategy

• Remote Monitoring Design Considerations

Objectives

1) Present overall approach for implementing remote monitoring systems as part of an overall Health Management system.

2) Share case study of implementation on Lifting and Handling equipment.


What Does Impact Do?• Engineer and implement advanced health management solutions that

monitor, detect, isolate, and predict equipment performance and readiness • Software solutions, smart sensors and hardware solutions, full system designs• Development, test and evaluation, integration, and deployment expertise

• Integrate with operator, maintenance, and logistics systems to minimize life cycle costs while maximizing system availability

Impact Technologies


Impact Core Business Areas


Condition Monitoring Terminology

• Condition Based Maintenance (CBM): A philosophy of maintaining equipment based on an estimation of its condition and maintenance logistics. Enhanced application of CBM is through the prediction (prognosis) of the equipment remaining useful life or time to service need.

• Prognostics and Health Management (PHM): A health management approach to reduce or eliminate inspections and time-based maintenance through accurate monitoring, incipient fault detection, and prediction of impending failure.

Prognostics Health Management


Establish Basis of Implementation

• Begin with the end in mind, and the overall implementation constraints

• Asset coverage – definition of system boundary• Asset Management Strategy• Cost

• It’s easy to collect data – but how do you know you are looking in the right place?

• Understand component relationships and system vulnerabilities through design and experience

• Maintenance history• Legislated inspection criterion• Failure Modes, Effects, and Criticality Analysis (FMECA)• Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) Analysis• Physics-of-Failure modeling


Monitoring Systems Enables Upstream Analysis

Monitor

Diagnostics and PrognosticsDetect

Maintenance Reasoning

• Monitor: Acquire, process, and deliver Objective Quality Evidence (OQE)

• Detection: Monitored parameter(s) has departed its normal operating envelope

• Diagnosis: Identify, localize, and determine severity of an evolving (incipient fault through functional failure) condition

• Prognosis: Reliably and accurately forecast remaining operational time to end of useful life, future condition, or risk to complete planned operations – “mission readiness”


Case Study – US Navy Shipyard Cranes• Customer has 28 portal cranes at 4 remote sites• No objective evidence of asset utilization• No automated workflow – pure schedule based

maintenance.• Program Goals

• Provide ability to monitor shipyard capital assets, facilities and equipment in support of performing maintenance based on objective evidence of need -- Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) IAW OPNAVINST 4790.16a

• Develop, install and accredit secure wireless network• Enable shipyard business processes and applications (e.g.,

IBM Maximo)

Improve Asset Availability – Decrease Maintenance Costs


System Key Characteristics

• Function usage data collected for bridge and portal cranes at one Shipyard. • In this case, usage is the first assessment of condition.

• Introduce at-the-hook load monitoring technology.• Provide data on asset usage to EAM application • Complete Certification and Accreditation (data security)

process to ensure integrity of wireless transmission.• Use Open Systems and a modular architecture to support

future applications.


Open Platform for Condition Monitoring

• Open systems approach permits easy installation.

• A modular approach permits hierarchical implementation.

• Embedded processing reduces bandwidth needs and increases overall system robustness.

Enhancement Extended to Portal Cranes

Whip Hoist AssemblyModified main hook trunion

• At-the-hook load monitoring provides high accuracy load-moment indication on whip and main hoist.

• Safe Load Indication capability• Data output compatible with enterprise monitoring system.


Portal Crane System Key Features

• Main Hook = 0.5% accuracy• Whip Hoist = 0.1% accuracy• Selectable Load Chart• Single point zero from the cab• Handheld displays for personnel on the ground• Secure data transmission for storage in SQL

database• 6 month calculated battery life• Design flexibility for future cranes depending

on required accuracy

• Usage = How Much• Adding Load = How Hard


Web-based Data Display

• Dashboard display of summary status and cumulative usage data.

• Displays each lift profile as an individual event.

• Data summarized in reports of usage over user-defined time intervals.


Lifting and Handling BenefitsManage, Engineer, and Maintainer

Feature Benefit

In-line measurement Eliminates line rider induced rope wearout

High-accuracy Eliminates dyno/excess geareMail Alerts Faster incident/breakdown response

EAM Connectivity OQE Generation to enable CBM

Automatic work order generation

Expandability Low-cost integration of additional monitoring (e.g. oil sensing)

Cab Display Fast operator response – overloadavoidance

Stored Data Incident reconstruction/resolution, life analyses


Implementation Lessons - IT System Integration• Remote monitoring systems must preserve data

integrity• Bandwidth is expensive – embedded processing

reduces data quantity• Introduction of Operational Technology (OT) vice

Information Technology (IT) presents technical and administrative challenges• Certification/Accreditation of Applications• Integration with enterprise apps desirable from a

security perspective


Future Applications - SmartMon-OilAn Embedded Monitoring Sensor• Multi-sensor fluid quality monitor

• Broadband Impedance Spectroscopy, RH, Temperature measurements

• Uses patented broadband measurement technique• Measure more fluid parameters => trend more fluid

degradation modes• Much faster than traditional EIS measurements

• Onboard processing• Smart sensor converts measurements to meaningful

information• Impedance and feature calculations• Diagnostic and prognostic algorithms

• Small form factor / lightweight design• Digital communications interfaces

• CAN – J1939• RS-485/422 - Modbus


Design Considerations – Integrating with the Enterprise• Use of Open Standards

• Open Systems Architecture – Condition Based Maintenance / Enterprise Asset Integration (OSA-CBM/EAI)

• Enterprise Asset Management Integration• Data enables workflow automation• Faults/incipient failures can be routed to the right person at the right

time• Enables Performance Based Logistics

• Hierarchical Components • Modules arranged in a hierarchical relationship that mirrors the

functional organization of the machine component, and the functional organization of the system

• Component level processing permits straightforward interpretation of the interaction between components

• Distributed processing increases system robustness


Conclusions

• Begin with the end in mind – design and apply asset monitoring technologies to enable an overall strategy. The data is only useful if analyzed in context.

• Early collaboration between engineering and IT to assist in the application of OT.

• Components that employ local processing and can be applied in a hierarchical, open system anticipate future needs and evolving analysis capabilities and enterprise planning needs.

Radio Frequency Identification

(RFID)

Crosby has developed an electronic inspection software that incorporates the technology of RFID, to provide a tool for our business partners that provides many benefits.

Types of RFID record keeping systems:PC Based

Inspections are completed on handheld unitHandheld must be manually synchronized to user

databaseOnly data for single location viewable

Web BasedInspections are completed on handheld unitHandheld is synchronized to user database

simultaneouslyData can be viewed from anywhere with web

access and a security code

Crosby “RFID equiped” products:

Points to consider…– Do you conduct onsite inspections?– How many hours are spent throughout the

entire inspection process?– How accurate are the inspection reports?– Are your inspection reports typed &

formatted?– Can you currently pick up any product to

inspect and quickly determine when it was last inspected, as well as the inspection status?

Different types of RFID– Active (long range, battery powered, finite life

span)– Passive (no battery, powered on by reader,

infinite life span)– Standards

• Low, High, Ultra high frequency

Components of an RFID assisted electronicinspection system:

1. Tag or chips2. Reader (pda & pen)3. Software

The basics:RFID simply assiociates the “globally unique” number of the RFID tag with the unique serial number assigned to your product (shackle, chain sling, snatch block,…)

Benefits– Accuracy of inspection reports– Timelines of reports– Inspection history– Product tracking– Improved employee efficiency– In field validation of inspections– Reduced liability

Temporary Lifting Facilities.16TH North Sea Offshore Cranes & Lifting Conference BP Magnus

Life Extension Project – 2010 / 11

Presented by: Gordon McCombie

Introduction

“BP Magnus Life Extension Project”

– Survey– Crane upgrade or crane

replacement– Opportunity for lifting

operations improvement – The challenges– Methodology

Survey

Survey objectives;– Define / identify all key plant locations– Define key lift weights & description– Confirm short/medium/long term lifts for each crane for life of field– Platform management to specify all major projects over next 10 years– Determine power requirements prime mover for new cranes (diesel / electric)– Identify all lay down areas– Confirm location of all existing blind lifts– Confirm pedestal strength / overturning moment

• Inspection reports• Any defects• Any limiting factors

Crane upgrade or crane replacement?

Analysis;

1. Crane replacement (new cranes)2. Offshore upgrade of existing Stothert & Pitt cranes3. Onshore upgrade of existing Stothert & Pitt cranes

Replacement / Upgrade Justification

• OEM recommended life • HSE integrity inspections• Single point failures (winches)• Fatigue (all major components)• Known boom defects• Capacity –future coiled tubing lifts on platform• Hoist speed – for boat lifts• Pump spares obsolescence• Motor spares obsolescence• Increasing maintenance costs

Pros / Cons - Crane Replacement

• Pros‐ Latest generation cranes‐ Less maintenance down time‐ Increased boom Length‐ Increased capacity @ 35m (for coil tubing lifts

‐ Increased spares for ‘B’ crane

• Cons– Greater initial cost– Long lead time– Possible boom rest & other

modifications

Pros / Cons – Offshore Upgrade

• Pros– Cheapest option– Shortest overall project

completion– Increased life of existing crane

• Cons– Limited scale of upgrade– Extensive platform disruption

• Crane downtime• Loss of lay down area• Loss of access to large portion of

pipe deck

– Increased exposure to un‐foreseen delays

Pros / Cons - Onshore Upgrade

• Pros– Delivery of a more

comprehensive overhaul/ upgrade compared with the offshore option i.e.

• Chassis overhaul / upgrade• “A” frame overhaul / upgrade• Cranes fully tested prior to re –

installation– Minimised disruption to sea

lifting cranes– Less platform disruption than

offshore upgrade option

• Cons– Higher upgrade cost compared

with offshore upgrade option– Longest project timescale of all

three options

Crane upgrade or crane replacement summary

• Stothert &Pitt OS200 ‐Upgrade considerations– Obsolete systems / design features– Single point failures– Age – Lifting performance limitations– Increasing maintenance costs– Upgrading work performed on or off the installation

• Kenz‐Figee B.V.DHC 70/3500 OS Ex. (Proposed replacements)– Pedestal height increased with installation of a new adaptor attached to

existing pedestal flanges– EN13852‐1 standard / compliant– Increase in lifting performance – Good for remaining life of platform– Existing OEM support

Opportunity for lifting operations improvement

• Improvements / benefits;– Elimination of obsolete systems & design features– Meets with EN13852‐1 standard– Physical increase in crane pedestal height– Elimination of blind lifting conditions – Improved visibility during deck & sea lifting operations– Improved/ increased lifting speeds– Overall safer deck & sea lifting operations

The challenges

• Overcoming requirement for temporary crane access to service both “a”& “c” cranes without re assembling the elevated skid structure.– Design /supply R.M.D (Kwikform) support structure.

• Overcoming the inadequate strength of the existing pedestal flange connection.– OEM design / supply purpose built segmented clamps creating a retaining ring

around pedestal.• Overcoming machining existing flanges to a pre determined size.

– Design & manufacture special purpose insitu machining equipment

Summary

The offshore crane still is the best way to launch and recover MOB boats and will continue to be.

When designing Cranes intended for MOB handling the main issue will be to balance the “Normal“ lifting requirement against the regulatory requirements for emergency preparedness.

What is a CARRIER?

DEFINITON IN MACHINERY DIRECTIVE 2006/42/EC:

‘Carrier’ means a part of the machinery on or in which persons and/or goods are supported in order to be lifted.

Annex I Section 4.1.1 (g)

European Commission guidance document, Dec. 2009Clarifies status of 2 categories of equipment:

1. Interchangeable equipment assembled with lifting machinery for the purpose of lifting persons Subject to Directive 2006/42/EC

2. Equipment used for the purpose of lifting persons with machinery designed for goods Not subject to Directive 2006/42/EC

First revision drafted in 2005 by Machinery Working Group, with ref. to 98/37/EC

Used as reference in the Guide to 2006/42/EC, comments to Annex IV item 17

http://ec.europa.eu/enterprise/sectors/mechanical/documents/guidance/machinery/index_en.htm



13 April 2011

7

Cat. 1: Interchangeable equipment

Equipment (carriers) assembled withlifting machinery in order to modify its function for the purpose of lifting persons

'...is assembled with...' means that the equipment is fitted to the lifting machinery by the user so that the assembly functions as an integral whole.

Included in the scope of the Machinery Directive, and requires:- CE-marking- EC Declaration of Conformity- Notified Body involvement, e.g. EC Type-

examination (Annex IV machinery).



13 April 2011

8

Cat. 2: Equipment used with machinery designed for lifting goods

Carriers intended to be lifted with lifting machinery designed for lifting goods only, e.g. - cranes- fork lift trucks

Category based on Directive 2009/104/EC (”use of work equipment”)

Annex II, Section 3.1.2:”PERSONS MAY BE LIFTED ONLY BY MEANS OF WORK EQUIPMENT AND ACCESSORIES PROVIDED FOR THAT PURPOSE”

Exception:“(…) EXCEPTIONALLY, WORK EQUIPMENT WHICH IS NOT SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED FOR THE PURPOSE OF LIFTING PERSONS MAY BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE, PROVIDED APROPRIATE ACTION HAS BEEN TAKEN TO ENSURE SAFETY IN ACCORDANCE WITH NATIONAL LEGISLATION AND/OR PRACTICE PROVIDING FOR APPROPRIATE SUPERVISION (…)”

Purpose of guidance document to exclude equipment for exceptional use from the scope of the machinery directive

Also excluded from the Machinery Directive (2006/42/EC) by the directive itself, by 7th recital



13 April 2011

9

Categories and CE-marking Category 1 – Interchangeable equipment:

- To be CE-marked- May be used for both planned operations and in exceptional circumstances

Category 2 – Equipment used with machinery not designed for lifting persons:- Not to be CE-marked- CE-marking prohibited- May only be used in exceptional circumstances, in accordance with national legislation



13 April 2011

10

Carriers used with offshore cranes – WHAT CATEGORY?1. Interchangeable equipment?

OR

2. Equipment used with machinery designed for lifting goods (not persons)?



13 April 2011

11

Cat. 2: Equipment used with machinery for lifting goods?Exeptional use?

Launching/recovery of rescue boat:- training of rescue crew is performed regularly - rescue operations are exceptional, but, nevertheless, PLANNED operations

Access to work places with suspended work platform:- may be both PLANNED and UNPLANNED (exceptional) operations

Personnel transfer:- REGULAR operation in connection with crew shifts/transfers- an alternative means of medical transport (e.g. injured personell), exceptional, but,

nevertheless, a PLANNED operation - an alternative operation in case of weather conditions prohibiting helicopter transport

Crane designed for lifting goods only?

Offshore cranes in accordance with EN 13852-1 may be designed for lifting persons



13 April 2011

12

Cat. 2: Carriers used with offshore cranes? Operations may be both exceptional and

planned/regular

Most offshore cranes are designed for lifting persons as well as goods

CE-marked carriers are desired

Category 2 not appropriate for carriers suspended from offshore cranes



13 April 2011

13

Cat. 1: Interchangeable equipment (IE)?CONCEPT:

Definition, 2006/42/EC, Article 2 (b):- ‘interchangeable equipment’ means a device which, after the putting into service of

machinery or of a tractor, is assembled with that machinery or tractor by the operator himself in order to change its function or attribute a new function, in so far as this equipment is not a tool

IE canges the function of, or attributes a new function to existing machinery

IE does not have to fit the strict definition of machinery

IE may be put on the marked separately, by another manufacturer

IE follows the same formal procedures for CE-marking, as machinery

Manufacturer of IE takes responsibility for the combination machinery + IE

User manual for IE must inform which machinery the IE can be assembled with

End user may assemble IE with machinery. Does not need to consider if the combination is complying with the machinery directive.



13 April 2011

14

Cat. 1: Interchangeable equipment (IE)?REQUIREMENTS AND CONSTRAINTS IN GUIDANCE DOCUMENT:

IE ”assembled with” lifting machinery- requires a certain integration between the carrier and the lifting machinery- to what extent?

”Equipment placed on (…) the hook of a crane is not considered interchangeable equipment (…)”- technical constraint to carriers suspended from the hook of an offshore crane, based on a

political decision- excludes carriers used with offshore cranes from the definition of IE



13 April 2011

15

Guidance document – Problems Does not address the need for CE-marking of carriers to be suspended from

offshore cranes

Conflicts with harmonised standard for offshore cranes, EN 13852-1- Harmonised under 98/37/EC- Currently under revision, expected to be harmonised with 2006/42/EC- Contains technical requirements for lifting persons- No requirements to the carrier, but the carrier is intended to be suspended from the hook

Manufacturer of IE is responsible for the safety of the assembly of crane + carrier.- safety is depending on crane design- only the crane manufacturer is able to evaluate the safety of the assembly crane + carrier



13 April 2011

16

Need for clarification

May carriers suspended from the hook of an offshore crane be regarded as interchangeable equipement, when the offshore crane complies with EN 13852-1?



13 April 2011

17

Alternative approach – Lifting accessories Carriers suspended from offshore cranes = Lifting Accessories

Definition, 2006/42/EC Article 2 (d):- ‘lifting accessory’ means a component or equipment not attached to the lifting

machinery, allowing the load to be held, which is placed between the machinery and the load or on the load itself, or which is intended to constitute an integral part of the load and which is independently placed on the market; slings and their components are also regarded as lifting accessories

The term ”load” may be understood as both ”goods” and ”persons”, ref. definition of ”lifting operation”, 2006/42/EC, Annex I sec. 4.1.1.(a):- ‘Lifting operation’ means a movement of unit loads consisting of goods and/or

persons necessitating, at a given moment, a change of level.

A carrier suspended from the hook of an offshore crane will therefore in most cases fit the definition of ”lifting accessories”.



13 April 2011

18

Lifting accessories – Annex IV machines? Categories of machinery to which one of the procedures referred to in Article

12(3) and (4) must be applied

List of machinery categories which require involvement of a Notified Body when machinery is not manufactured in accordance with a harmonised standard.

The term ”machinery” in the heading of Annex IV must be understood as machinery both in the strict sense and in the broad sense.- Ref. Guide to application of Directive 2006/42/EC – 2nd Edition – June 2010, §33

Item 17: Devices for the lifting of persons or of persons and goods (…)

The term “Devices” is universal, i.e. it can be:- machinery in the strict sense, e.g. a crane- lifting accessories- interchangeable equipment

Annex IV includes lifting accessories for lifting persons.



13 April 2011

19

Lifting Accessories – ProblemGUIDANCE DOCUMENT, Category 2:

”(…) Such equipment is not used to attach the load to the machinery: therefore it is not a lifting accessory (although such equipment may be attached to the machinery by means of a lifting accessory such as a sling). Such equipment is to be considered as a part of the load. It is thus not in the scope of the Machinery Directive and shall not bear the CE-marking in relation to that Directive (…)”

May lead to the understanding that carriers suspended from offshore cranes are not lifting accessories.

Application of user directive 2009/104/EC Annex II, 3.1.2 ? Offshore cranes are already designed for lifting persons

Lifting persons with offshore cranes are NOT exceptional operations, but planned or regular operations

Application of national legislation does not necessarily give any further risk reduction compared to application of MD

Application of national legislation introduces a barrier to trade and impedes the freedom of movement of goods.

Application of user directive not appropriate.

Recommended solution

Condition: User manual for carrier must explicitly state that it is only intended for lifting with offshore cranes designed and manufatured for lifting persons in accordance with Machinery Directive

Modification of the guidance document is necessary

This solution will be an acceptance of EN 13852-1 as representing state of the art for lifting persons with offshore cranes, and enable conformity assessment of crane and carrier as separate objects.
