Advantages of condition monitoring

Condition monitoring offers significant advantages for maintenance scheduling, cost reduction, and improved safety. By continuously assessing the condition of machinery, companies can gain early insight into potential issues before they lead to equipment failure. These benefits of condition monitoring include better planning, fewer production interruptions, and extended asset life.

With IMAnalytics, operators can reduce unplanned downtime by identifying when and why an application is likely to fail. The advantages of condition monitoring give maintenance teams time to act proactively—organizing repairs and replacements at the most convenient moment in the production schedule.

Reduce Unplanned Downtime

Avoiding unplanned downtime offers a range of beneficial outcomes for an industrial environment. By removing unplanned downtimes you prevent unplanned production delays which can lead to a loss of reputation if orders are not completed on time and the need to pay overtime to complete a job.

Protect Your Other Assets

A machine failure can cause damage in other systems, compounding the problem further while also increasing repair or replacement costs. As a result, there will be no need to buy and store large numbers of replacement assets or parts in case of an unexpected failure. Instead, you will get a heads up if there is a need to replace a spare part.

Maximise ROI

Using condition monitoring as part of a predictive maintenance programme can increase the return on investment (ROI) of mechanical assets. Through condition monitoring, it is possible to eliminate unnecessary maintenance and downtimes by only scheduling repairs when required. This means that you can get more working value from each machine, reducing the total cost of ownership and maximising the ROI for your equipment.

More Efficient Maintenance

Condition monitoring allows for more efficient maintenance by indicating where a fault may lie. This means that maintenance engineers do not need to check working components while locating the fault. This saves time and gets your maintenance completed faster.

Improved Safety

Checking and repairing machines before they break safeguards employee safety and helps ensure safer work practices. Condition monitoring means that owners can plan maintenance before failure occurs that could pose a threat to employees working nearby.

Improved Asset Efficiencies

Condition monitoring can also improvements the efficiency of assets. By having a record of which parts are running poorly, you can focus efficiency improvement efforts on those specific parts, thereby improving the overall capabilities of your equipment.
