Finding a condition monitoring software, sensor system, and CMMS that work together
seamlessly is rare, and eMaint delivers.

Here’s How Our Sensors and Software Deliver on the Promise of Connected Reliability:

Fluke Reliability product family

Fluke 3563 Analysis Vibration Sensor

The Fluke 3563 is a wireless vibration sensor designed for asset monitoring. The heart of the 3563 is a high-frequency, high-resolution piezoelectric sensor that delivers in-depth vibration readings and early fault detection.

What does that mean? Many vibration sensors only sound alarms when the average overall vibration exceeds normal limits. The Fluke 3563, however, goes a step further, offering narrowband alarms that can indicate which of the four common vibration faults is occurring.

Fluke 3563 can recognize the distinct signal patterns for four major types of machine faults:

eMaint Condition Monitoring

Fluke vibration sensors send data to the cloud, where the data is accessed by eMaint condition monitoring, the companion software. eMaint condition monitoring lets users view recent measurements and analyze historical data. Maintenance personnel can see overall vibration readings, time waveform readings, or FFT graphs in which signal components are distinguished. eMaint condition monitoring also has advanced vibration analysis features for experts, and an AI diagnostic tool for non-experts that provides recommendations, depending on the software package.

eMaint CMMS

eMaint CMMS is a maintenance & reliability software for managing work orders, PMs, assets, parts inventory, KPI reporting, and much more. eMaint CMMS connects to eMaint condition monitoring—giving MRO teams vital asset data and the power to automate work orders based on machine condition.

What does that mean? A sensor discovers a fault, and eMaint condition monitoring sends vibration alarms to eMaint CMMS. The CMMS automatically generates a work order to begin the process of verifying what’s wrong and fixing the machine. You can also send specific narrowband alarms to eMaint, triggering fault-specific work orders. Going forward, teams can view maintenance and vibration history to gain insight into asset health and optimize maintenance strategy.

Frequently Asked Questions for Condition Monitoring

Condition monitoring — also called condition-based monitoring — is a proactive, preventative maintenance practice that involves tracking the performance of industrial machinery. There are two goals of this monitoring. One is to identify any abnormal performance as early as possible to prevent costly equipment downtime, damage, and failure. The other goal of condition monitoring is to prevent the unsafe working conditions that damaged equipment can create.

Condition monitoring is a critical part of operations in many industries:

  • Manufacturing (automotive, pharmaceutical, textile, etc.)
  • Oil and gas
  • Aerospace
  • Utilities and power generation
  • Food and beverage
  • Chemical processing

Vibration analysis — also known as vibration monitoring — is one of the most common types of condition-based monitoring. This subsect of condition monitoring involves collecting data on and assessing the vibrations that machinery, equipment, and other assets emit.

Specifically, the process involves using sensors to measure different aspects of vibrations (frequency, phase, amplitude, etc.) and then studying that sensor data, typically via specialized software, to look for abnormal changes.

Issues such as misalignment, looseness, imbalances, and more can all be sources of abnormal vibrations, and vibration analysis allows maintenance teams to identify and fix those issues quickly — before any damage is done to equipment or the employees who use it.

There are many different types of condition monitoring, but these tend to be used most often:

  • Vibration monitoring (i.e., vibration analysis) – Used to monitor the vibrations of oscillating machines, parts, or systems to look for abnormal frequencies, phases, and amplitudes of vibrations
  • Electrical monitoring – Used to monitor the health of electrical systems by collecting data on electrical impedance, resistance, surge, and more
  • Temperature monitoring (i.e., thermal analysis) – Used to ensure systems stay at the appropriate temperature by helping spot signs of overheating or overcooling — both of which can damage equipment
  • Pressure monitoring (i.e., pressure analysis) – Used to collect pressure-related performance data such as on pneumatic equipment and hydraulic equipment to spot issues like leaks, blockages, and excess load
  • Humidity monitoring – Used to collect data on moisture levels to prevent issues such as equipment corrosion and degradation of product
  • Oil analysis – Used to monitor the condition of oil-based lubricants that help machines and systems physically operate with minimal friction; includes testing for viscosity, acidity, particulate contamination, and more

Condition monitoring equipment, of course, depends on the type of condition monitoring you’re using. That said, modern condition monitoring relies heavily on the use of sensors, software, and handheld devices in order to detect and interpret the necessary information.

Here are some of the most common tools and equipment that industry experts use for condition-based monitoring:

  • Pressure sensors – Measure the applied force present in systems and assets, such as the pressure of a compressor; also measures negative pressure of a vacuum to identify potential issues, like leaks, in the vacuum system
  • Temperature sensors – Measure the heat that assets generate, like the heat generated by a motor
  • Proximity sensors – No-contact sensors that measure the physical distance between two or more points, such as how far apart a bearing is from its shaft
  • Level sensors – Measure the physical levels of something in a container, such as how much liquid is in a tank
  • Flow sensors – Measure the rate of movement of media like liquids, gas, and granulated or powdered solids.
  • Handheld measurement tools – Devices such as portable sensors and handheld data analyzers that also help collect and assess relevant condition data
  • Condition monitoring management system (CMMS) – Specialized software that pools all measurement data and analyses from the various sensors and devices a company uses for condition monitoring; gives organizations better insight into all condition monitoring data, allows for creation of maintenance alarms and notifications based on custom performance parameters, and more.

Online conditioning monitoring (OCM) refers to utilizing online and Internet of Things (IoT) capabilities to run your conditioning monitoring process continuously. The continuous nature of online condition monitoring differs from offline monitoring that happens on assets that only require periodic checks.

Typically, online condition monitoring includes utilizing a network of sensors that are connected to and feed data into condition monitoring management system (CMMS) software that can analyze the data. This continuous data aggregation and analysis provides an accurate, real-time view into performance data for assets.

Condition monitoring — especially continuous, online condition-based monitoring — has major benefits for companies and can help keep many critical KPIs at healthy levels. Some of the most common advantages of condition monitoring include:

  • Improved early fault detection
  • Reduced unplanned downtime/ improved uptime
  • Improved planned maintenance percentage (PMP)
  • Improved mean time to repair (MTTR)
  • Improved overall equipment effectiveness (OEE)
  • Improved asset life
  • Reduced maintenance costs
  • Improved worker safety

All of these benefits contribute to lower operational costs, lower revenue loss, and a healthier bottom line.

Condition monitoring has a vast array of industrial applications. Some industries that commonly use condition monitoring in their operations include:

  • Manufacturing (automotive, pharmaceutical, textile, etc.)
  • Oil and gas
  • Aerospace
  • Utilities and power generation
  • Food and beverage
  • Chemical processing

Within those industries and others, specific applications of condition monitoring include monitoring:

  • Motors
  • Pumps
  • Fans
  • Compressors
  • Gearboxes
  • Conveyor belts
  • Industrial equipment like cranes and cement crushers
  • Rotating components of machinery like turbines
