Condition Monitoring & Predictive Maintenance
Using the P-F curve, vibration, thermography, oil analysis, ultrasound and motor current analysis to detect developing failures early, set meaningful alarms, and convert diagnoses into planned work.

What you'll learn
- Explain the P-F curve and why the P-F interval dictates monitoring frequency
- Match the main condition monitoring techniques to the failure modes each one detects
- Set alarm and alert levels using baselines and trends rather than single readings
- Convert a condition monitoring diagnosis into a prioritised, planned work order
- Justify condition-based maintenance economically against running to breakdown
- Track programme health through detection successes, saves and missed catches
