Maintenance and Engineering

Predictive Maintenance and Condition Monitoring

Predictive maintenance uses condition data to repair equipment just before it fails. This course covers condition monitoring techniques such as vibration, thermography, oil analysis and ultrasound, setting alarm limits, data trending, integrating with maintenance planning, sensors and IoT, and building a predictive maintenance programme.
