Check Sheets- Something is Missing, I Think…
Have you ever completed an infrared survey and wondered if you’ve missed something that should have been inspected? Do you know the special safety instructions to open certain electrical cabinets? Has management ever asked you when was the last time that you’ve inspected a specific cabinet and you couldn’t answer them? If you have answered yes to any of these questions, you need to develop a check sheet for the equipment that you inspect.

Towards Better Understanding of Sidebands Generation
In vibration analysis terminology, Amplitude Modulation just like in telecommunication results when a certain frequency component is amplitude-modulated according to a specific time-dependent function. Amplitude modulation is very common phenomenon in machinery vibration.

What is Vibration Analysis?
Any time a piece of machinery is running, it is vibrating.
Industrial vibration analysis refers to a process for measuring the vibration levels and frequencies of machinery and then using this information to assess the “health/condition” of the machine and its components.

The best AI for vibration condition monitoring is the one that does not remove humans from the process
Industrial Artificial Intelligence (IAI) has one of the greatest potentials to affect the way companies manage their maintenance practices. Letting Machine Learning (ML) and algorithms take more responsibility can lead to more productive work routine and less unplanned stops and the high costs associated with it. But even with several proof points, why are maintenance professionals, particularly vibration analysts, still skeptical about it?
