John Crane, a business of Smiths Group, has developed an industry-first validated methodology that improves drivetrain analysis accuracy in critical rotating equipment. 

The approach uses advanced modelling, testing and real-world data to better predict system behaviour, reducing failure risks and improving reliability. 

Already deployed in customer applications, the methodology helps operators in sectors including oil and gas, LNG and power generation enhance performance, minimise downtime and improve confidence during commissioning and start-up.
