Outcomes: Power Generation

Impact of Unplanned Downtime

Avg. cost of downtime: $1 MM

Lost productivity ... asset idling / outage

Typical Power Gen cost / hour:

Wind: $300 / tower

Gas: $50 K

Fossil fuel: $100 K

Nuclear: $200 K

Benefits of Remote Collaboration

Increase detection

Reduce false indications

Decrease diagnostic time

Decrease field experts

GEMeasurement & Control

With a limited number of experts available, having

them on site isn’t always a possibility. Bring the

inspection to the expert, expanding the number of

inspections they’re able to participate in and

reducing the number of personnel required on

site.

OUTCOMES

INCREASED

PRODUCTIVITY

SMARTER,

FASTER DECISIONS

Why wait to disposition an asset? Utilizing the

real time connection from the NDT instrument,

make decisions live, brining your asset back

online quicker, reducing total inspection time by

more than 10%.

INCREASED

ASSET UPTIME

Training and maintaining an experienced

inspection team can be costly. Real time

collaboration on the job site allows many

participants in an inspection, providing a platform

for training a global team.
