    The document discusses how condition monitoring can fail and ways to avoid failures. Condition monitoring has advantages like reducing downtime but also disadvantages like costs. It can fail if the equipment being monitored is not clearly defined, the monitoring strategy is too complex, the information is difficult to understand, or it is not applied frequently enough. To avoid failures, the monitoring needs to be simple enough for internal staff to use, easy to understand, quick to apply, reliable, and provide clear information to make decisions. A potential solution presented is a Fault Source Identification Tool that directly measures fault severity based on vibration data in a simplified output format.

    Why can Condition

    Monitoring fail?

    CM Technologies GmbH
    How to avoid unexp. breakdowns?
    Condition Monitoring
    Advantages Disadvantages
    • Lowers disruptions to normal • Condition monitoring test
    operations equipment can be expensive

    • Reduces the cost and time • Databases cost money and time to
    associated with asset failures analyze

    • Improves equipment reliability • Cost to train staff – you need a


    knowledgeable professional to
    • Minimizes unscheduled downtime analyze the data and perform the
    due to catastrophic failure tasks
    • Minimizes requirement for • May require asset modifications to
    emergency spare parts retrofit the system with sensors
    • Optimized maintenance intervals • Unpredictable maintenance
    periods
    • Reduces the chances of collateral
    damage to the system
    Where can CM fail?

    What Equipment is monitored?


    • Expensive equipment
    • High consequential cost after failure
    • Relevant for health and safety
    • No redundancy
    What is needed to avoid CM to fail?
    • Clear definition for above category!
    • Condition monitoring strategy for all
    equipment not falling into above
    category.
    Where can CM fail?

    Who does the Condition Monitoring?


    • Internal maintenance people
    • External experts

    What is needed to avoid CM to fail?


    • Condition monitoring strategy
    simple enough to monitor
    equipment with internal
    maintenance guys without any
    special knowledge.
    Where can CM fail?

    What Information are required?


    • velocity, acceleration
    • RMS or peak
    • FFT / enveloping
    • Time waveforms
    • ……
    What is needed to avoid CM to fail?
    • Condition monitoring information
    easy to understand for internal
    maintenance guys without any
    special knowledge.
    Where can CM fail?

    How often is it applied?


    • Quarterly
    • Monthly
    • Weekly
    • …..
    What is needed to avoid CM to
    fail?
    • Condition monitoring strategy
    quick enough to monitor
    equipment fast and reliable
    allowing a frequent check
    without annoying the staff.
    What avoids CM to fail?

    Equipment that is:

    • Simple enough to be used


    internally

    • Easy enough to be understood


    by unqualified people.

    • Quick enough to be used frequently

    • Reliable enough to be fit for purpose

    • Clever enough to give the information


    needed to make a qualified decision.
    Watch the fault severity trend

    • All of us in the vibration world uses


    the same concept for fault detection
    (overall measurements, spectra,
    time waveforms etc.)
    • After that the severity of the faults is
    derived.
    • This does not seem the right
    approach to monitor machinery
    covering all in operation by internal
    service people.
    • A new approach to vibration
    analysis is needed
    One solution avoiding CM to fail?
    FASIT (Fault Source Identification Tool)
    • Enables the user to directly
    measure fault severity based on
    vibration.
    • The vibration data is the input, and
    fault severity diagnosis is the
    output.
    • Takes the speed from the FFT to
    classify the severity.
    • Shows the severity of Bearing
    Faults, Unbalance, Misalignment
    and Looseness
    One solution avoiding CM to fail?
    • The FASIT system has been
    developed over many years.

    • It uses speed, FFT, FFTenv


    and time waveform to
    evaluate the source and the
    severity of the fault.

    • This new approach opens vibration


    monitoring for a much larger group of users.

    • It might detect some not typical special


    faults not correctly to avoid that vibration
    experts will become obsolete.
