Nanoprecise partnered with one of the largest oil and gas companies in Vietnam — responsible for gathering, manufacturing, storing, and distributing massive volumes of gas products — to deploy its MachineDoctor AI-driven predictive maintenance solution. By deploying MachineDoctor, a wireless sensor that measures six key parameters including vibration monitoring suitable for oil and gas applications, the company gained visibility into critical asset performance across its operations.
The system detected a Stage 3 unbalance fault on a key blower motor (Blower H-1741 Motor DE), enabling maintenance teams to intervene before failure. The result: over $130,000 in downtime costs avoided, 4 hours of unplanned downtime saved, and a major shift from reactive to proactive, AI-driven predictive maintenance solutions for oil and gas equipment. Personnel had been restricted from approaching the equipment while it was running, making manual inspections limited and early fault detection nearly impossible.
The solution included wireless sensors with 6-parameter machine condition monitoring (including vibration and acoustic monitoring), fault identification and condition-based maintenance alerts, automated AI fault notifications using alarm thresholds, and a cloud-based dashboard for visibility and predictive analytics. The system quickly detected a significant vibration anomaly on Blower H-1741 Motor DE, triggering a Stage 3 unbalance fault alarm and prompting immediate corrective action. The plant achieved enhanced safety by reducing manual inspections in hazardous areas, and the deployment forms the foundation for broader predictive maintenance expansion across the O&G enterprise's production and processing facilities.
