Understanding Condition Monitoring in Modern Plants
Condition monitoring is vital for modern industrial plants. Studies show that over 60% of unexpected equipment failures can be prevented by tracking vibration, temperature, and other critical parameters. Continuous monitoring reduces risks, increases reliability, and extends equipment lifespan.
PLCs and DCS platforms require real-time data to make timely decisions. With integrated monitoring, plants can reduce downtime by 30–40% and maintenance costs by 25%. Condition monitoring is therefore essential for smart manufacturing.
