turbine OEM for the Industrial Trent and the Industrial RB211 turbines, and carries out research, development_x000D_
and production at its site in Montreal, QC, Canada. Its primary objective is the advancement of gas turbine_x000D_
technology for the next generation of gas turbines. The experimental work is supported by fit for purpose test_x000D_
rig equipment and test bed facilities that are continuously being upgraded to the latest available technology._x000D_
The proposed research project falls within the remit of the Aero-Derivative Gas Turbines Production_x000D_
department of continuously seeking to advance its manufacturing capabilities to maintain and increase their_x000D_
position in the turbine OEM market. Most processes at SCLAGT require heavy equipment such as lifting_x000D_
platforms, cranes, balancing machines, ovens and drills._x000D_
To continue their leading position in this market it is key to maintain custom delivery at high level e.g. by_x000D_
reducing the plant's equipment downtime. The proposed project aims to support this mission by developing_x000D_
advanced Predictive Maintenance (PM) tools for their key heavy equipment. Main objective is to go towards a_x000D_
novel Industry 4.0 approach for PM, making use of sensors, data acquisition systems, algorithms and big data._x000D_
Results of the proposed study on PM will be transferred to SCLAGT. This will help to secure the strong market_x000D_
position of this Canadian company across North America. Since SCLAGT is based in Montreal, increasing_x000D_
their plant operation efficiency will secure their jobs and market position in OEM turbine technology and could_x000D_
lead to the creation of new jobs, thereby providing a benefit to Canada overall. In the long term, SCLAGT is_x000D_
evaluating to build a new modern factory in the Montreal area where they will incorporate the Industry 4.0_x000D_
