Condition Monitoring
About Condition Monitoring
Condition monitoring is a type of preventative maintenance that uses cutting-edge machine monitoring software in conjunction with machine sensor data that detects vibration and other characteristics (in real-time) to forecast the health and safety of the machine.
Why is Condition Monitoring important?
Condition-based monitoring benefits include:
- greater uptime and less downtime.
- decrease or removal of unexpected failures
- reduced expenditures for maintenance.
- longer asset life.
- reduction of damages to the collateral property.
- easier planning and prioritizing of task assignments.
Who should take the Condition Monitoring Exam?
- Reliability engineers
- Condition monitoring team leaders
- Plant managers
- Maintenance managers
- Those in the maintenance and production departments who want to learn why reliability should be improved, and how to improve it.
