GyroMetric Systems co-operation with Clarke Energy

Remote Monitored Systems plc ("RMS" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that GyroMetric Systems Ltd ("GyroMetric"), in which RMS has a 58% shareholding, has reached an agreement to install digital monitoring equipment on a pilot project by Clarke Energy Limited ("Clarke Energy"), a leading supplier of power generation equipment in the UK.

Clarke Energy has decided to co-operate with GyroMetric to trial digital shaft monitoring to its generating equipment. The monitoring will employ GyroMetric's unique digital monitoring of the bearings in the generator sets, and monitoring of shaft alignment.

The objective is to evaluate the potential to realise value by utilising a predictive maintenance strategy utilising real time data harvested by the GyroMetric system, rather than a time based planned maintenance system. There is potential for savings in maintenance and down time costs from such an approach. This would support Clarke Energy's continual improvement programme to deliver increased value and machinery availability and reliability to its customers. In particular the use of GyroMetric's rapid intervention system which shuts down equipment automatically when serious faults are detected is thought to be particularly useful.

The co-operation will begin with a pilot project, where a single generating set will be comprehensively instrumented with GyroMetric's Monitoring Systems with digital information flowing into the internet as the equipment is run.

Analysis of the data harvested, and experience gained during the installation, may point the way to spreading the technology around Clarke Generating sets installed around the UK.
