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

sponsoredwebinaapm

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:
  • What is condition monitoring, also known as predictive maintenance, and what are the most common technologies?
  • Learn about condition monitoring and its techniques and benefits. What are the most common technologies used?
  • Understand the most common failures (program, management and equipment). How can condition monitoring help alleviate those issues?
  • Understand the up-front costs and challenges on the design side and the importance of designing for reliability upfront.
  • Know how to collect data, analyze trends and detect anomalies and provide measurable ROI to provide actionable information.
  • Review case study examples to learn best practices.
