Web Hosted Condition Monitoring

Monitoring the condition of your plant and its assets is the first step to truly understanding where efficiency, reliability and safety improvement can be made.

Condition monitoring provides essential data that can be used to draw out actionable insights and recommendations.

When you decide to monitor your plant machine condition, you take an important first step towards improved reliability and safety. Selecting the right approach, however, requires a few further decisions. Condition Monitoring can be implemented in several ways, each with its own advantages depending on the environment and objectives.

Key parameters to consider

Location

Access constraints, offshore or remote environments, and logistical considerations influence the best monitoring approach.

Application

Asset criticality, operating conditions, and failure modes determine suitable measurement types and intervals.

Culture

Internal capability, ownership, and ways of working shape whether monitoring is outsourced, shared, or in-house.

Different Condition Monitoring strategies can be combined to create an optimal monitoring package. This requires a clear understanding of which solutions are available, where they can be applied, and where the techniques reinforce each other.

Practical decision points

Which assets can be measured periodically using handheld devices
Which assets should be measured semi-continuously
Which assets require permanent monitoring

Whether you want AVT Reliability to manage the entire condition monitoring programme, or you prefer to play an active role in data collection and first-line analysis using Machine Sentry®, we can provide the ideal condition monitoring solution for your site.

Choosing to monitor machine condition is an important first step towards improved reliability and safety. The best Condition Monitoring approach depends on your location, application, and working culture.

A Machine Sentry based condition monitoring programme is highly flexible, with options tailored to
your application and operational needs. Each programme follows a structured implementation pathway.

Step 1

Training & implementation

Experienced CBM engineers from AVT Reliability BV (formerly Van Geffen Reliability) build your database and
define the correct measurement parameters and intervals. This is followed by CBM awareness training to
ensure understanding across all personnel involved.

Step 2

Hardware

Low-cost, high-tech hardware products, including options suitable for ATEX Zone 1 and Zone 2 classified
areas, are owned by you, the customer.

Step 3

Execution of measurements & inspections

With AVT Reliability engineers available on site, we create greater flexibility for performing measurements
and inspections, supporting consistent data capture and timely decision-making.

Step 4

Modular cloud-based database and remote support

Data is stored in a cloud-based database secured in accordance with ISO/IEC 27001:2013, and remains owned
by you, the customer. Data is immediately available for remote analysis by experienced CBM engineers at
AVT Reliability.

A Machine Sentry based condition monitoring programme is flexible and tailored to your application.
Each programme follows a structured pathway.

Training & implementation

Database build, correct parameters and intervals, followed by CBM awareness training for involved personnel.

Hardware

Customer-owned low-cost, high-tech hardware, including ATEX Zone 1 and Zone 2 options where required.

Execution of measurements & inspections
