Condition monitoring
Condition monitoring
Fluke condition monitoring sensors, combined with software and other hardware devices, provide around-the-clock machine measurements. Data is uploaded to the Fluke Connect™ Cloud, where teams can easily access measurements on smart devices, such as mobile phones, tablets, or PC/Mac computers. Using the data, maintenance and reliability teams get a clearer picture of machine health. They can take the right corrective actions at the right time, when a machine's condition calls for it. Condition monitoring sensors are an integral part of predictive maintenance strategies, and can help teams continue on the path to prescriptive maintenance.
How to get the most value from condition monitoring
Condition monitoring strengthens your maintenance and reliability program by:
Gain continuous, always-on monitoring of assets
When internet-enabled devices are connected to software, real-time measurements are automatically aggregated around the clock. Data is stored in the cloud where it is assigned to assets and organized for users to review.
Identify the root cause faster
Teams can swiftly troubleshoot assets using different condition monitoring devices, such as vibration sensors or power monitors. Compare measurements over time to quickly pinpoint abnormalities.
Monitor equipment safely from anywhere
Connect your people and assets with remote sensors and mobile access. Measurements from wireless sensors are automatically sent to the cloud without human intervention or error. Teams can access data remotely from smart devices anywhere there’s an internet connection.
Condition monitoring benefits
Condition monitoring programs allow teams to move from reactive to predictive maintenance. Aggregating around-the-clock measurements provides teams with a clear picture of asset health and performance without expending labor. A condition monitoring program can also:
- Decrease maintenance costs
- Improve downtime response
- Move teams to condition-based maintenance
- Save costs on prematurely changed resources
“I could verify the temps myself, online, so I was able to check in on [condition monitoring sensors] without having to call… I can just look at a phone to see what those temperatures are running in real-time. That allows my manpower to be better utilized… Saving on manpower is money, and I think we accomplished that.”
-Mike Parker, Director of Statewide Operations at Pure Environmental
