Why monitor industrial machine vibrations?
An essential strategy for preventing mechanical breakdowns In industry, rotating machines are at the heart of many critical processes. Motors, turbines, alternators, compressors or pumps often operate continuously, under demanding conditions. Over time, such equipment can develop mechanical faults invisible to the naked eye, but perceptible through analysis of their vibrations. Vibration monitoring involves measuring […]

Normandy Control Group will be taking part in the World Nuclear Exhibition 2025 (WNE 2025), the world’s largest exhibition dedicated to the civil nuclear industry. This major event will be held at Paris Nord Villepinte from November 4 to 6, 2025, and will bring together all the international players in the nuclear sector. What is […]
Woodward regulator modernization
Woodward controller modernization. Many industrial plants still use first-generation electromechanical or analog speed controllers. Although still functional, these devices are often outdated by today’s standards in terms of precision, communication and diagnostics. It is therefore legitimate to ask whether it is possible to replace them with more efficient digital models. The answer is clearly yes, […]
What are the signs that a Woodward regulator requires maintenance ?
Woodward controllers play an essential role in managing the speed and stability of heat engines used in industry, power generation or marine propulsion. Like all control systems, they are subject to wear and technical constraints that can alter their performance over time. Knowing how to identify the signs of malfunction enables you to anticipate breakdowns, […]
Our experts were called in to test the islanded mode of an industrial plant and optimize steam control.
Normandy Control Group’s teams recently worked on an industrial installation on a two-fold mission: testing the islanded mode and optimizing the control settings. Here’s a look back at a technical operation carried out with the utmost precision. Islanding tests: analysis of autonomous behavior The aim of this project was to simulate operation in island mode, […]
