What is condition monitoring?

Condition monitoring is the use of sensors to collect machine health data. This data is analyzed to determine if changes in the performance or condition of a machine, or its components, is occurring while it is in operation.

What are the advantages of condition monitoring?

Condition monitoring, especially online condition monitoring, provides data on the present and historic state of a component or machine and can be used to predict future state. This allows predictive analysis to identify problems early and plan repairs in advance, avoiding unscheduled downtime. Ultimately, this leads to increased reliability, improved uptime, increased production output, and minimized maintenance costs.

What is condition-based maintenance?

Condition-based maintenance is a strategy that uses sensors to determine the current state of a component or machine or piece of equipment so a decision about the maintenance that needs to be done, and when, can be made.

What are condition monitoring techniques?

Condition monitoring techniques can be used solely or in combination, determined by the machine or equipment involved. Vibration analysis which integrates temperature and running conditions such as speed is a common technique utilized in predictive maintenance. Others include ultrasound testing, lubricant analysis and thermography.
