What is Condition Monitoring ?

Condition monitoring is a system of regular scheduled measurements of plant and machinery health. Condition Monitoring systems use various tools to quantify plant health, so that change in condition can be measured and compared.

We can do Condition Monitoring of the mechanical, electrical and thermal condition of plant, as well as identifying efficiency losses and safety critical defects. The object of condition monitoring is not only to identify defects, but also to identify the ROOT CAUSE OF FAILURE, in order that it can be engineered out. WYKO's condition monitoring tools are listed with their uses:

The Condition Monitoring services can be used in isolation or combined to give a totally predictive approach to the maintenance of machinery. All services are provided using WYKO's own in-house trained personnel.

Our Condition Monitoring Reports are explained here :

The benefits of using a condition monitoring based approach to maintenance are numerous they include :

Mechanical Failure

	Condition Monitoring - Increases plant uptime & generates profit
	Condition Monitoring - Enables reduction in spares stock holding
	Condition Monitoring - Reduces maintenance costs
	Condition Monitoring - Reduces the number of catastrophic failures and can stop expensive secondary damage
	Condition Monitoring - Extends the interval between maintenance periods
	Condition Monitoring - Reduces the number of costly emergency repairs
	Condition Monitoring - Maintains the product supply
	Condition Monitoring - Identifies the fundamental cause of failure
	Condition Monitoring - Improved awareness of plant condition
	Condition Monitoring - Spares are ordered to suit shut down periods
	Condition Monitoring - Quality assurance tool for repairs
	Condition Monitoring - Improved manpower utilisation
	Condition Monitoring - Improved maintenance scheduling - shut down periods are planned

Condition Monitoring - Vibration Analysis

It can not be stressed enough that the cost of condition monitoring is a cost for the business as a whole, to be compared against the cost of lost production. Condition Monitoring should not be a cost to be taken out of a maintenance budget
