Vibration Monitoring

Vibration monitoring of critical machinery forms a fundamental element of most successful condition-based maintenance (CBM) strategies. Vibration data can provide key insights into the health of machinery and the possible issues that could lead to failure. This means vibration monitoring is a vital tool to identify potential issues early, provide insight to the crew on corrective actions and ensure machinery and the ship remains operational. 

The first step in effective vibration monitoring is the accurate collection of vibration data from the identified machinery. Vibration sensors will be applied to the identified machinery and data will be collected through a handheld collection device. 

Once data is collected and combined, a data analytics software will be utilised to further evaluate the data and identify faults with machinery, provide specifics on the nature of the fault ( looseness, unbalance etc), predict future failure.
