Buyer could not travel
The customer needed an urgent solution for the end user’s stopped factory in Yemen.
May’s Indonesian customer could not leave for China, so his son flew from Malaysia to inspect the urgently needed TDI module in Xiamen and take it back the next day for on-machine testing.
These facts separate what was directly observed in Xiamen from terms and performance that must be confirmed in the written order or by the end user’s on-machine test.
The Indonesian buyer’s end user in Yemen had stopped production. A direct visit let his son verify the TDI in person and avoid extra time that remote confidence-building, payment and third-party forwarding could add.
The customer needed an urgent solution for the end user’s stopped factory in Yemen.
The buyer’s son travelled from Malaysia to represent his father and inspect the product.
Model, order reference, serial evidence, appearance and packing were reviewed.
The TDI travelled with him for on-machine testing by the Yemen end user.
May’s customer was based in Indonesia, while the end user was a factory in Yemen. The factory had stopped and urgently needed a Bently Nevada 3500/22M Transient Data Interface (TDI) module. The Indonesian customer could not travel to China, so his son—who was in Malaysia—flew to Moore Automated’s Xiamen office to inspect the product on his father’s behalf.
If handled remotely, verifying the product, building confidence in the handover, arranging payment and coordinating a third-party freight forwarder from Xiamen could all add time. With the Yemen factory already stopped, the buyer wanted his son to check the 3500/22M model, order reference, serial evidence, exterior and packaging directly before accepting the TDI.
The buyer’s son carried out a careful visual and identity review in Xiamen before taking the 3500/22M TDI back the next day for the Yemen end user’s on-machine testing.

Compared with the order information and packaging evidence presented on site.
Documented for traceability without publishing the customer’s full serial details.
Reviewed for visible condition, handling marks and interface integrity.
Anti-static materials and transport protection were checked before collection.
May coordinated the product review with the Indonesian customer and his son, who travelled from Malaysia. The team presented the 3500/22M TDI and identifying evidence, answered questions, and completed the handover after the checks.
The urgently needed TDI module and its identifying information were made accessible for a careful, hands-on review.
The customer’s son examined the 3500/22M closely and documented identifying details for his father.
May coordinated with the Indonesian customer while answering his son’s questions during the Xiamen inspection.
After acceptance, the son took the TDI back the next day for on-machine testing by the Yemen end user.
The case does not publish private price, warranty length or return terms. It shows how the order was tied to physical evidence, a named account manager and documented next steps.
The page records visible inspection evidence, not an unsupported “new,” “used” or “refurbished” label. The condition sold is the designation stated in the customer’s quotation and order.
Any warranty, return authorization, remedy or freight responsibility must be read from the written terms applicable to this order.
Read the site warranty policy →The inspection record can include model and label photographs, serial evidence, exterior views, packaging evidence and the agreed handover record.
Review shipping information →Questions after collection can be routed through May and reviewed against the exact item, inspection evidence and written commercial terms.
Contact Moore Automated →No monetary saving is claimed. The practical value was reducing avoidable clarification cycles, lowering wrong-item and return risk through physical identification, and removing one planned third-party forwarding leg. For future requirements, retaining the complete part number, rack context and on-machine test feedback creates a stronger starting point for repeat sourcing and critical-spares planning.
The factory in Yemen had already stopped, so every extra step mattered. The customer could not come himself, but his son was able to travel from Malaysia, check the 3500/22M TDI in person and take it back the next day for testing.”
The Indonesian customer’s son completed the agreed in-person checks in Xiamen and took the Bently Nevada 3500/22M TDI back the next day for on-machine testing by the Yemen end user. This avoided waiting through the longer remote sequence of building confidence, arranging payment and forwarding the product through a third-party freight agent. The visit substantially shortened the time before the customer could test the urgently needed module; no unverified downtime or financial savings are claimed.
Send the complete part number, required checks, destination and deadline. May can help build a practical inspection and handover plan.
Confirm the complete part number, rack configuration, destination and required date first. Moore Automated can coordinate availability checks, product-identification evidence, an agreed inspection and a practical collection or freight plan. In this case, the 3500/22M TDI was inspected in Xiamen and collected the next day for the Yemen end user’s on-machine testing. This shortened the time to testing; actual restart timing depends on installation and technical verification.
Support can include checking the requested model and order reference, confirming available product information, sharing condition evidence, coordinating an in-person review, and arranging an agreed handover or third-party freight route. The exact plan depends on the item, destination and deadline; application compatibility should be confirmed by the buyer or end user.
The 3500/22M is a Transient Data Interface (TDI) for a Bently Nevada 3500 monitoring rack. It interfaces the rack with compatible System 1 condition-monitoring and 3500 configuration software, and collects steady-state and transient dynamic data from compatible monitor modules for transfer to host software over Ethernet. It is a rack-interface and data-collection module, not a generic CPU card.
Not necessarily. The TDI supports rack communication and data collection; replacing it alone does not prove the complete monitoring rack or production process is ready. Confirm the exact part number and compatibility with the installed rack, then have qualified personnel complete installation and on-machine testing.
Check the complete order number, rack arrangement, slot and compatible monitor modules, as well as the applicable configuration and software requirements. A physical inspection can help establish product identity and visible condition, but it cannot confirm compatibility or operating performance in the end user’s system.
