IMI predictive maintenance platform reaches its 75th combined cycle power plant milestone

IMI Insyt’s cloud-based platform analyses operational data to detect early signs of potential failures in industrial systems. It delivers actionable insights that empower operators to make informed decisions by combining advanced physics-based modelling with domain expertise and data-driven analytics. This in turn, reduces unplanned downtime, and maximises plant efficiency and reliability.
Studies leverage plant data and documentation to remotely identify control inefficiencies, system vulnerabilities and installation issues to assist operators in enhancing reliability and performance without on-site disruption.
IMIs virtual meetings with customer teams provide significant value, offering deep-dive discussions into plant data, operational issues, and performance challenges. Many personnel have highlighted the impact of these sessions and have expressed similar appreciation for the clarity and insight gained during these reviews. Building on the outcomes of these collaborative discussions, a comprehensive report is then produced, delivering in-depth analysis of key operational metrics including thermal gradients, spray valve and temperature cycling, quenching events, wet steam presence, valve performance, and control system behaviour.
These insights uncover hidden inefficiencies and early signs of failure, avoiding downtime associated with plant failure and machinery breakdown. Each report includes tailored, expert recommendations designed to boost system reliability, reduce downtime, and maximise plant performance.
In September 2025, IMI delivered a study to the 75th CCPP. Each of these 75 plants have trusted the service to aid in avoiding vibration, noise, cracking, erosion and other major failure mechanisms. The overarching goal in each of these cases is to improve the lifespan of equipment and reduce downtime.
While IMI continues to scale its Insyt service into oil and gas, petrochemical and other industries, CCPPs continue to be a significant market for the services. At the end of June 2025, IMI Insyt achieved another milestone, securing its 150th study across all applications since its introduction in 2021.
Ory Selzer, IMI Insyt Business Leader at IMI, said: “Vibration, noise, cracking and erosion are serious issues for combined cycle power plants. They start out as small, often undetectable issues, but quickly manifest into serious problems that cause widespread disruption, and in worst cases, downtime. That’s why IMI’s Insyt has proved so popular. It works to identify issues before they become problems and mitigates the risk of downtime and equipment failure.
“Insyt is just one example of a solution that tackles real-world engineering problems brought to market through our Growth Hub innovation engine. The system has and continues to provide operators across industries with tangible savings and efficiency gains and we are excited to see how Insyt continues to transform other sectors around the world.”
