WHY CONDITION MONITORING IS IMPORTANT FOR YOUR BUSINESS
One of the major goals for any business is the prolonging of an asset’s lifecycle and ensuring that the asset functions efficiently for as long as possible. This can be accomplished through the use of condition monitoring.
Condition monitoring uses various tools to ensure reliability, safety, and cost-effectiveness when analyzing an asset. There have been a number of recent innovations that have influenced condition monitoring that allows engineers access to the benefits of online, onsite, and laboratory testing.
To understand the benefits of condition monitoring, Parker listed out several important factors to keep in mind in a recent blog post.
Understanding the benefits of condition monitoring:
- Monitoring wear prevents unexpected and costly repairs.
- By monitoring wear levels through online sensors, engineers are alerted to increased wear and are able to react quickly to prevent further damage.
- Carrying onboard testing kits can allow engineers to detect potential mechanical problems in a matter of minutes.
- Online sensors and onboard toolkits empower engineers to make fast, informed decisions confidently.
By using a combination of both online and offline tools in condition monitoring, operators can be as prepared as possible in dealing with mechanical problems. Applying these tools will give engineers the information they need to manage their assets, prevent damage, and minimize downtime.
