Condition Monitoring describes various techniques used in surveillance, testing and analysis of assembly, plant and equipment with a mutual goal to detect any signs of malfunction or deterioration and any developing wear.

Industrial operations worldwide agree the significance of condition monitoring in implementing a successful maintenance strategy. It is a valuable tool in reliability defect elimination program. Due to current business competitiveness, condition monitoring is a major component of predictive maintenance and enables optimisation of resources.

On the other hand, Industry 4.0 has brought tremendous transformation in digital space, plant maintenance has been a partaker of advanced machine data gathering and analysis capabilities, enabling flexible and swift decision making. This has brought a need to empower maintenance teams.

This course introduces participants to various techniques used in condition monitoring together with benefits and opportunities of condition-based maintenance. Participants will learn about some of the digital tools being brought by Maintenance 4.0.
