The ATS family of companies conducts equipment condition monitoring as a form of predictive maintenance for commercial and industrial machinery.
What is Condition Monitoring?
Condition monitoring is a predictive maintenance practice in which technicians monitor the condition of equipment to recognize signs of potential failure. Unlike traditional maintenance, which occurs regularly, condition monitoring allows technicians to consider the specific needs of machinery when scheduling and conducting repairs. Technicians use a diagnostic system to monitor the machine’s health and use the information gathered to develop a personalized strategy that will improve the machine’s status.
The Importance of Equipment Condition Monitoring
While machine failure may be inevitable, condition monitoring is a valuable strategy that can help predict and prevent faults in equipment. This advanced approach helps technicians adopt proactive plans of action that allow operations to avoid the costly consequences of equipment failure. Condition monitoring offers several advantages, including the following:
- Avoids Unexpected Downtime
- Extends the Service Life of Equipment
- Improves Workplace Safety
- Increases Operational Efficiency
- Non-Invasive Maintenance Practices
- Reduces Costs
Routine condition monitoring is an effective way to familiarize oneself with equipment and machinery. This familiarization enables operators to recognize any shifts in performance that may be a cause of concerns or symptomatic of more serious underlying issues. The data collected from condition monitoring also provides insight into the potential sources of the faults, streamlining the repair process.
