Equating Condition Monitoring to Monitoring the Health of the Human Body
Some people equate Condition Monitoring to the way we monitor the condition of the human body. We use blood tests, blood pressure, body temperature and other activities to know our condition from a health perspective.
In a similar way, Condition Monitoring can be defined as different methods that are used to measure the status of critical machinery components, particularly with rotating machinery. For example, Condition Monitoring will look at vibrations, temperature, and oil condition to identify any conditions that could indicate a problem. At the same time, this information is used to track irregularities that could eventually lead to operational failure. Condition Monitoring helps to prolong the life of equipment through regular maintenance and preventative repairs. Small issues can be taken care of quickly before they have the opportunity to become bigger, more expensive problems.
Reactive Maintenance
Reactive Maintenance is the most costly type of maintenance. Oftentimes, businesses will adopt this approach with the expectation that the costs associated with downtime and repairs will not exceed the cost required to invest in an ongoing maintenance practice. This can be a risky approach, especially when you consider that in 2016, the average cost of downtime across all businesses was $260,000 per hour. That was a 60% jump from 2014. One can only assume that there have also been significant jumps in more recent years. Condition Monitoring can reduce the amount of reactive maintenance that is performed thereby reducing overall operating costs and downtime losses.
Preventive Maintenance
Condition Monitoring can provide information so that time based activities can be optimized. Think of preventative maintenance as taking your car in every three months for an oil change. Maintenance is being performed as you do your part to prevent major engine problems, but you may also be missing other signs of emerging problems in between visits.
Predictive Maintenance
The only way to understand what the failure modes are and how fast they are progressing is to monitor various parameters on the machine with Condition Monitoring. With this approach, maintenance is only performed when needed and operators have a clear understanding of machine health based on vital indicators.
Condition Monitoring and Predictive Maintenance
True predictive maintenance happens when intelligence is captured over long periods of time from your machinery. Data is collected, intel is captured, and over time, AI (Artificial Intelligence) steps into the predictive maintenance process to begin providing alerts and notifications predicting when maintenance should occur to eliminate failure and downtime.
Ultimately Condition Monitoring is able to automate predictive maintenance in a way that relies heavily upon excellence in data capture and analysis. The human asset will play a critical role in developing the pattern of greatness in monitoring analysis for the effective evolution of predictive maintenance.
