Condition Monitoring

Condition monitoring is a systematic set of processes and technologies that assesses, and monitors the condition of industrial machinery for a given time-period or environment. This is typically done through physical means, such as vibration monitoring, inert gas monitoring, or thermal. The use of these technologies can make a huge impact in maintaining industrial machinery. It improves worker safety and reduces the chances of collateral damage to the system. Traditionally, vibration analysis was the preferred means of condition monitoring, however, nowadays, modern, innovative techniques such as sensors and sophisticated softwares are being used to monitor the condition of the machines in real-time. The unique advantage of condition monitoring is that it addresses the conditions of the equipment that would shorten its lifespan, long before they develop into catastrophic failure.

How does Condition Monitoring work?

Condition Monitoring works in the following three steps:

Installation

In order to monitor the condition of any machine, it is essential to collect data, which can be accomplished by installing a monitoring system. Machines / instruments are fitted to the machines to monitor their output. By collecting data on the output parameters of the machine and analyzing its performance, the condition monitoring system can detect if a machine has a fault or not.

Establishing a Baseline

The system once installed correctly, can begin to collect the data to measure the performance of the equipment. This data may consist of vibration, speed, and temperature among others, which may be used to create a baseline which is indicative of ideal operating condition, against which future performance of the machine will be measured.

Condition Monitoring

Data is transmitted and evaluated by the condition monitoring system from which the performance and diagnostics are evaluated. The system processes the data and notifies the maintenance and reliability professionals if any abnormality is detected, thereby enabling the professionals to take immediate action, preventing catastrophic failures.

Condition Monitoring Services

Condition monitoring services offer the promise of optimizing manufacturing operations. The demand for condition monitoring services have been rising due to the increased focus on overall plant & machine health as well as breakdown monitoring.

Condition monitoring is a tried & tested, effective & powerful maintenance tool that is being used by an increasing number of industries. Condition monitoring frameworks provide significant advantages from a monetary, functional and safety perspective. When used with associated systems, it allows to make the most of planned maintenance schedules, by addressing multiple problems in one schedule which otherwise may cause unplanned downtimes. One major advantage of condition monitoring is that it helps companies to make more accurate decisions and therefore there is a high potential for companies to increase their profitability and minimise the risk of operational losses.

Frequently Asked Questions

An effective condition monitoring and maintenance system will help prevent catastrophic failures that can cause serious downtime and worker safety issues.

Equipment damage and resultant downtime leading to lost production is one of the most crucial risks that need to be mitigated, to gain a competitive advantage in today’s marketplace. Condition monitoring helps to reduce these risks significantly by identifying changes in the machine that can result in potential failures.

The advantages of condition monitoring include reduced unplanned downtime, improved availability of machines, improved worker safety and better productivity as well as lesser time spent on maintenance.

Monitoring different aspects of a machine or equipment set such as lubricant/oil analysis, acoustic emissions, surface temperature, RPM, Vibration, Magnetic Flux, etc. to gain a clear picture of the current condition of the machines, are some examples of condition monitoring.
