Predictive maintenance: What is condition monitoring, and is it a good choice?  

Wednesday, Oct. 16, 2024

To avoid costly, unplanned downtime, leveraging condition monitoring in a reliability plan and/or predictive maintenance plan is essential.

Given the rapid entrance of lower-cost, easier to install sensors, engineers and plant managers should expect to see a continued shift away from traditional calendar-based and manually managed usage-based maintenance toward more condition-based or predictive maintenance. It’s more accurate, less evasive on operations and now has viable return-on-investment — even for smaller and less technology-savvy manufacturers.

Learning objectives:

• Learn about condition monitoring and its techniques and benefits.
• Understand the most common failures and how condition monitoring can help prevent them.
• Know how to collect data, analyze trends and detect anomalies.
• Review case study examples to learn best practices.
