Condition Monitoring Solutions

The frequency of Condition Monitoring depends on several factors, including the type of asset, operating environment, and level of risk tolerance.

Generally, important assets need monitoring weekly or monthly. Critical assets for safety, production, or in harsh conditions should undergo Condition Monitoring more frequently, potentially hourly or daily.

They can be monitored continuously through a permanently installed wireless or online vibration sensor to ensure a reduction in potential financial losses. All other assets can be assessed quarterly or annually.

BES Group offers many types of Condition Monitoring, including:

• Vibration Analysis
• Oil Analysis
• Thermography
• Ultrasonic Condition Monitoring
• Video Deflection
• ODS Motor and Current Analysis

The most important feature for accuracy is the condition of the asset. Assets in good condition are easier to monitor than those in poor condition, so it’s advisable to set up monitoring at the beginning of an asset’s lifespan.

The type of Condition Monitoring you choose is also important, as these services are specialised to your industry and equipment. You need an expert to conduct Condition Monitoring too. The engineer must be suitably qualified to perform tests, so they know exactly what they’re looking for.

Condition Monitoring is used across many industries, including:

• Food and Beverage
• Marine and Offshore
• Manufacturing
• Oil and Gas
• Power and Utilities
• Rail
• Renewables
• Retail
• Aerospace and Defence
• Agriculture
• Automotive
• Healthcare
• Hospitality and Leisure
• Insurance

The biggest benefit of Condition Monitoring is that it allows for proactive and predictive maintenance. Using trackable data from Condition Monitoring reports, it gives you insights into which assets aren’t performing optimally and where issues may arise.

This allows you to schedule maintenance early. In doing so, it helps prevent unscheduled downtime, equipment failure, expensive repair works and reduce energy inefficiency.
