Cutsforth Reliability Services

Optimize Facility Performance with Improved Maintenance Strategies

Prioritize Reliability

With age and demand on plants increasing and budgets and personnel in decline, organizing and implementing these programs can relieve pressure on finances, operations, and equipment

  • Improving reliability of all assets throughout the fleet
  • Increasing the capabilities of the maintenance, operations, and engineering workforce
  • Optimizing capital expenditures across the fleet by increasing risk-informed decision making
  • Improving thermal performance/net output
  • Eliminating low value manual work activities and increase process efficiencies through digital transformation
  • Increasing advanced analytics capability to improve early detection and correction of equipment anomalies

Equipment Reliability (ER) & Asset Management (AM) Consulting

Equipment Reliability and Asset Management processes, integrates, and coordinates a broad range of ER activities into one process so plant personnel may establish optimal preventive maintenance tasks. Personnel can make operational, risk management, and equipment adjustment decisions based on equipment health and maintenance feedback.

  • Equipment Reliability (ER)/Digital Transformation Workshops
  • ER Process/Program Management/Leadership Training
  • ER Program Assessment (Industry Standards & AP-913)
  • ER Process/Program Coaching & Training
  • ER Software Tools Implementation Support
  • ER Process: Support, asset criticality determination, PM task/program optimization, CBM program deployment support, risk management process deployment

Monitoring & Diagnostics

Monitoring & Diagnostics Centers are crucial to a Reliability Monitoring strategy, enabling plants to:

  • Monitor data available at plants
  • Utilize Advanced Pattern Recognition (APR) Software: Learning the relationships among process parameters through pattern identification and data training for better data reliability
  • Apply Thermal Performance Monitoring: Using existing data to calculate and trend equipment and system performance parameters. A 1% heat rate improvement on a single 500MW unit is worth over $900,000 per year in fuel cost savings
  • Detect even small changes and notify plant personnel
  • Apply Cutsforth™️ diagnostic models

Continuous Online Monitoring Services

Cutsforth enhances Monitoring & Diagnostics (M&D) Centers by centralizing and improving your continuous on-line monitoring strategies. We manage the full lifecycle—from business case development and system design to installation and technology integration. With more advanced monitoring, plant operators can detect emerging issues faster and improve failure prediction.

  • Level 1: APR application using existing sensors to identify some anomalies
  • Level 2: Additional sensors using analysis to improve anomaly detection
  • Level 3: Diagnostics utilizing advanced algorithm techniques to diagnose and validate anomalies
  • Level 4: Prognostics predicting remaining useful life, while applying AI and prescriptive technologies

Reliability Services FAQs

What reliability services does Cutsforth offer?

Cutsforth provides end-to-end reliability services to help organizations design and implement effective condition monitoring programs. Services include asset health assessments, gap analysis, program design, installation support, and continuous diagnostic consulting.

What is an asset health assessment from Cutsforth?

An asset health assessment is a baseline evaluation of your equipment’s condition and monitoring coverage. Cutsforth experts review sensor placement, maintenance practices, and failure history to identify high-risk assets and recommend improvements.

How does Cutsforth support change management for reliability initiatives?

Cutsforth’s reliability consultants work alongside plant and corporate teams to develop adoption plans, training programs, and standardized workflows that ensure condition monitoring and reliability programs are sustainable long term.

Does Cutsforth offer remote condition monitoring services?

Yes. Cutsforth offers continuous remote monitoring and diagnostic services where our reliability experts analyze data, provide actionable recommendations, and alert your team to potential equipment issues. This remote monitoring service is optional — we do not require customers to use this service, nor do we take ownership of your data. All data, dashboards, and alerts are owned and accessible by you, the customer. For customers who do not have the in-house staff or expertise, we offer professional remote monitoring services as an option.

How does Cutsforth align its reliability services with a customer’s budget and priorities?

Cutsforth tailors each engagement to match the customer’s operational goals, risk tolerance, and timeline. We prioritize the highest-impact assets first and build a phased roadmap for scalable reliability improvement.
