Key Concepts in Condition Monitoring

1. Predictive Maintenance:
   • Condition monitoring is often part of predictive maintenance strategies, where data is collected continuously or periodically from machinery, analyzed for signs of wear or abnormal behavior, and used to predict when maintenance should be performed. This helps avoid unnecessary repairs and reduces the likelihood of unexpected breakdowns.
2. Data Collection:
   • The first step in condition monitoring is the collection of data from machinery using sensors or diagnostic tools. The data is usually related to machine performance indicators like temperature, vibration, pressure, speed, and flow rates.
3. Data Analysis:
   • After data collection, it is analyzed using software tools and algorithms to detect patterns or anomalies. Machine learning or artificial intelligence can be used to predict failures based on historical and real-time data.
4. Reporting and Alerts:
   • Condition monitoring systems often include dashboards or reports that display the machinery’s health and performance. Alerts are triggered when parameters exceed normal ranges, indicating a potential issue that needs to be addressed.
