Because of the rapid rise of lower cost sensors and automated monitoring systems

And the even faster rise of Big Data analytics

The implementation of automated online solutions is growing exponentially!

Therefore online continuous monitoring does not lead to drowning in data or expensive data storage infrastructure anymore

Event recognition and embedded data (pre-)processing can limit the amount of logged information



Good practice is to determine the degree of condition monitoring on a given machine taking into account:

– The machines purpose– Redundancy– Cost of repair– Downtime impacts– Health, safety and environment issues– …

Categorize your assets: Critical

6

Machines that are vital to the plant or process and without which the plant or process cannot function

With critical machinery being at the heart of the process it is clearly that only full on-line condition monitoring that continually record as much data from the machine as possible regardless of cost is

the way to go




Categorize your assets: Essential

7

Units that are a key part of the process, but if there is a failure, the process still continues

Online monitoring and control of these units is also essential to maintain alternative plans should Critical Machinery fail or to keep overall efficiency high




Categorize your assets: General purpose or balance of plant machines

8

These are the machines that make up the remainder of the plant

Monitored using a handheld data collector to periodically create a picture of the health of the machine is the traditional way

online monitoring with basic sensors and a cost-effective, open and flexible solution for a large percentage of the fleet allows you to meet evolving maintenance requirements and

keeps costs down
