Press Release Summary:
Windows based software reduces manufacturing costs by enhancing mechanical seal and pump tracking efforts. Software enables manufacturers to collate data and generate reports that identify root causes of seal and pump failures. User can compare information provided by software with physical evidence on failed seal or pump and can examine costs involved with new seals, labor, parts, inventory, and cost of downtime.
Original Press Release:
AnchorSoft, Inc., Introduces Mechanical Seal and Pump Tracking Software
Windows-based program helps manufacturers reduce costs by capturing information to enhance plant efficiency
Coraopolis, Pa. - AnchorSoft, Inc., today announced the commercial availability of its first release of software specifically designed for reducing manufacturing costs by enhancing mechanical seal and pump tracking efforts.
The software enables manufacturers to collate data, but it also generates eight reports that help identify the root causes of seal and pump failures. Each report provides a different operational perspective of the plant's mechanical seals and pumps. By comparing the information provided with AnchorSoft with the physical evidence on a failed seal or pump, a plant team can diagnose and correct process problems. The user can also examine the costs involved with new seals, labor, parts, inventory, and the cost of downtime. Ultimately, an effective mechanical seal tracking system, guided by the data and reports from AnchorSoft, can enable plant managers and maintenance managers to make smart, technically-sound decisions about their manufacturing operations.
According to Ron Mumbray, President of AnchorSoft, "Many manufacturers routinely replace mechanical seals in their plants without asking or knowing why. They are missing opportunities to reduce plant costs by thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of dollars." Mumbray says that by establishing a comprehensive mechanical seal tracking system and a plant seal team, a facility can uncover numerous process adjustments that will make the plant more efficient, reduce downtime, and save money. "What AnchorSoft does is help you capture and process all of the right information to give you a roadmap to reducing fixed plant costs."
Mumbray says that the software has already shown its mettle with one customer, U. S. Steel's Clairton, Pa., coking facility. By working in partnership with the plant team, and by using the AnchorSoft program, Mumbray helped the plant decrease the average cost per day for mechanical seals by over 78 percent.
AnchorSoft, Inc., is a software developer based in Venetia, Pa.
