A Design of Condition Monitoring System for Predictive Maintenance

Global competition to increase production output and to improve quality is spurring manufacturing companies to use condition monitoring and fault diagnostic systems for predictive maintenance. As monitoring, testing, and measuring techniques develop, predictive control of components and complete systems have become more practical and affordable. In this article, we will consider the computer based data acquisition system for condition monitoring and the condition parameter analysis techniques for fault detection and diagnostics in the machinery and briefly discuss reliability prediction and the limit value determination in condition monitoring.
