Nine Steps to Setting Up an Infrared Inspection Program
Infrared inspections are now a matter of routine for many commercial and industrial facilities. By proactively addressing incipient or latent failures detected during a single inspection, facility managers are able to avoid costs associated with unscheduled downtime and damage to electrical and mechanical equipment. Even greater savings can be achieved through...

What Level of Machine Learning Do You Want?
There are four basic types of machine learning, based on the kind of information they give you and how the machine “learns”: supervised, unsupervised, semi-supervised, and reinforcement. Jason Tranter defines these and gives an example…

The Use of New CMS Technologies for Critical Rotating Machinery
Today, there is a new generation of CMS devices that overcomes the barriers that have traditionally prevented an adequate condition monitoring service on critical rotating machinery. The use of these new CMS, in combination with the usually pre-installed Machine Protection Systems (MPS), requires a proportionally small investment, but provides numerous advantages that increase the reliability of those assets...

GMF Calculation and Gearbox Problems Detection
Gearbox defects can be identified with a quite high accuracy using vibration analysis. This is because the fact the most common defect frequencies are the fundamental Gear Mesh Frequency (GMF) and its harmonics (such 2x GMF, 3x GMF) which can easily detected.
