Condition Monitoring

Wireless triaxial vibration sensors, thermography, ultrasonics and oil analysis, fused into a single diagnostic layer.

  • Vibration Analysis.
  • Infrared Thermography.
  • Oil Analysis.
  • Motor Circuit Analysis.

Read More

Our condition monitoring solutions combine wireless triaxial vibration sensors, infrared thermography, ultrasonics and oil analysis into a comprehensive diagnostic layer. By analysing equipment condition and performance, we identify developing faults early, enabling proactive maintenance decisions.

This approach helps improve asset reliability, minimise unexpected failures, optimise maintenance strategies and extend equipment life, while supporting safer, more efficient operations.

Vibration Analysis

Vibration analysis is a critical diagnostic tool used to monitor, detect, and prevent mechanical failures in rotating and reciprocating machinery. It plays a vital role in predictive maintenance programs by identifying potential issues before they lead to costly downtime or catastrophic failures.

  • Offline or Handheld Vibration Analysis.
  • On-line Vibration Analysis.

Offline or Handheld Vibration Analysis.
Vibration monitoring identifies changes in machinery vibration patterns, detecting faults early. Establishing healthy baselines enables teams to monitor equipment, identify defects, prevent failures, and plan maintenance.
 
On-line Vibration Analysis.
Online vibration monitoring uses permanently installed sensors to track equipment in real time, detecting abnormalities early, providing alerts, preventing breakdowns, improving reliability, productivity, efficiency, uptime, and reducing lifecycle costs.


Infrared Thermography Inspection

Infrared thermography (IRT), also known as thermal imaging, is a measurement and imaging technique in which a thermal camera detects infrared radiation originating from the surface of objects. This radiation has two main components: thermal emission from the object's surface and reflected radiation from surrounding sources.

Offline or Handheld Infrared Thermal Imager.
Handheld infrared thermal imaging enables detailed, on-site inspections using high-resolution thermal images. It helps identify temperature variations and potential faults in specific components, supporting accurate analysis and proactive maintenance.
 
 
On-line Infrared Thermal Imager.

Online infrared thermal imagers enable continuous, remote monitoring in hazardous or difficult-to-access environments. They reduce inspection risks while identifying thermal abnormalities, supporting safer operations, early fault detection and proactive maintenance across critical industrial assets.


Oil Analysis

Oil analysis (OA) is the laboratory analysis of a lubricant's properties, suspended contaminants, and wear debris. OA is performed during routine predictive maintenance to provide meaningful and accurate information on lubricant and machine condition.

  • Analysis of oil properties including those of the base oil and its additives.
  • Analysis of contaminants.
  • Analysis of wear debris from machinery.

Transformer Oil Analysis
Transformer oil testing assesses its insulating and cooling performance by analysing breakdown voltage and physical and chemical properties, ensuring oil remains fit for purpose and supporting reliable transformer operation.


Motor Circuit Analysis (MCA)

Motor Circuit Analysis (MCA) assesses motor health without energising the motor. It evaluates the entire motor system, beyond insulation testing. 

  • Stator windings.
  • Rotor circuits.
  • Cables.
  • Connections.

Read More

This method is non-destructive and uses low-voltage sinusoidal signals to measure how the motor circuits respond, identifying electrical imbalances, insulation degradation, and potential faults before visible symptoms appear.
