Context
Challenge & Approach
The Reliability Challenge
Vibration Monitoring Equipment present diagnostic challenges because sensor degradation and cable faults can develop simultaneously, making it difficult to isolate individual fault contributions. Accelerometer mounting looseness may mask early indicators of signal conditioning drift. Operating variations in load and speed shift baseline signatures, requiring normalized trending rather than simple threshold alarms. Access constraints and process criticality limit measurement windows. Effective programs must integrate sensor health verification with cable integrity testing and system calibration checks to build a complete condition picture.
Our Approach
We conduct calibrated thermal surveys using radiometric cameras and quantitative temperature analysis specific to vibration monitoring equipment operating characteristics. We establish baselines through sensor health verification and cable integrity testing, then build trending programs that track degradation against ISO 10816 and ISO 13373 criteria where applicable. System calibration checks and data quality auditing provide additional data points for cross-correlation. Each assessment report includes severity rankings, recommended corrective actions, and maintenance timing guidance based on observed degradation rates and consequence of failure.
