Predictive Maintenance & Condition Monitoring
Unplanned downtime is one of the largest avoidable costs in any plant. This course shows maintenance and operations teams how to shift from reactive and preventive routines to condition-based, predictive maintenance, using sensors, vibration fundamentals and failure-mode thinking. It pairs naturally with our Industrial IoT module.
The course covers the shift from scheduled maintenance to condition-based intervention, and is aimed at maintenance and reliability staff, engineers and plant managers. Participants work through the monitoring techniques that carry most industrial value, including vibration analysis, thermography, oil analysis and motor current signature analysis, and what each reveals about developing failure. Alongside the techniques, the session covers failure modes, P-F intervals, setting alarm thresholds that are actionable rather than noisy, and building the business case, since predictive maintenance competes for budget against the reactive spending it is meant to replace.

Programme Modules
Sensor & Vibration Fundamentals
How vibration, temperature, oil and acoustic sensors work, what they measure, and how to place them for meaningful signals on rotating and fixed plant.
Condition-Monitoring Techniques
Vibration spectrum analysis basics, thermography, lubrication and oil analysis. Building a monitoring routine that catches faults before they become failures.
Failure-Mode Analysis
FMEA and reliability-centred maintenance (RCM) thinking. Ranking failure modes by likelihood and consequence to decide what to monitor and how often.
Maintenance KPIs & Programme Design
MTBF, MTTR, availability, OEE and planned-maintenance percentage. Designing a predictive-maintenance rollout that fits the plant's maturity.
Key Outcomes
- Explain the difference between reactive, preventive and predictive maintenance
- Select and place the right condition-monitoring sensors
- Read basic vibration and thermography signals
- Run an FMEA to prioritise failure modes
- Define maintenance KPIs and a rollout roadmap
