“The on-line solution allows us to monitor a set of equipment over time without human intervention. The ergonomics of the

different approach to conventional vibration analysis, very pertinent”
The site produces 120,000 tons of amino acids per year, so it is essential for the client to ensure the equipment’s availability to maintain production output.
