Demo of Motion Maps and Frequency Filtering

Motion amplification allows you to see things a normal camera can't show. These amplifications show you all frequencies but also allow you to isolate individual frequencies, and visualize faults. The program is user friendly, color coded, and gives you vibration data in an easy to export Mp4 format.

Condition Monitoring Technologies – Pros and Cons of the Top Five

There are several different technologies that can be used, alone or in combination, to monitor the condition of your machinery from a predictive maintenance (PdM) perspective. The criticality of the machine affects the number of such inspection-type technologies that are applied to a given failure mode. The more critical the machine and the more critical the failure mode, the more redundancy you will want in the inspections.

What Happens When Failure Codes Are Set Up Incorrectly?

When failure codes are set up correctly, they can help you gather valuable information pertaining to your company’s assets that promotes preventative and efficient maintenance. This information can be applied to work orders and used for reliability analysis. However, when your failure codes are not correctly set up in SAP or Maximo this can impact your assets, your maintenance operations, and your ROI.
