Condition Monitoring
Factors such as load, speed, temperature and pollution can all determine the rate of wear on machinery.
In a condition monitoring program the condition of your machinery is periodically monitored, while they are running normally so we can detect wear in its early stages, after which its progression can be followed.
Our Condition Monitoring Solutions
AVT Reliability BV, formerly Van Geffen Reliability, provides a wide range of condition monitoring programs based on periodic vibration measurements, spectrum analysis and trend monitoring. These techniques are supported with visual inspections, temperature readings, oil analysis and other reliability tools.
This combined approach allows early detection of wear or damage, monitoring of progression and clear recommendations on maintenance actions. This ensures machines continue to operate safely while enabling planned interventions that prevent unplanned downtime.
We understand that Predictive Maintenance (PdM) solutions must be tailored to equipment criticality and budget. By combining engineering experience with integrated technologies, we help reduce maintenance costs, increase uptime and deliver greater reliability and safety across your operations.
Standard condition monitoring intervals are typically every three months, although critical or high-consequence assets may require monthly, weekly or even continuous monitoring.
Main Services
Our measurement and engineering services are delivered by experienced, hands-on engineers certified to CAT I, II, III or IV in accordance with ISO 18436-2, with 24/7 availability for urgent support.
Every condition monitoring program begins with a basic inspection. Even small changes such as abnormal noise, elevated temperature or pressure, or increased vibration may indicate early-stage deterioration.
The techniques below are commonly used across industrial sectors for accurate assessment of machine health and early fault detection.
- Vibration analysis
- Ultrasound testing
- Thermography
- Oil analysis
- Motor current signature analysis (MCSA)
- Laser alignment checks
- Borescope inspections
- Dynamic balancing
- Visual inspections
- Continuous or periodic monitoring
Vibration Analysis
Vibration analysis is one of the most effective ways to detect malfunctions in rotating equipment by evaluating vibration signatures and trends.
Fluid/Oil Analysis
A well-executed oil analysis program eliminates guesswork and helps move your maintenance strategy from reactive to proactive.
Thermal Imaging
Thermography identifies abnormal heat patterns in electrical or mechanical systems, highlighting inefficiencies or early-stage faults.
Borescope Inspections
Borescope inspections identify wear, damage and potential causes of gearbox or component failure.
Visual Inspections
Visual inspections rely on the experience of analysts to spot early signs of deterioration, leaks, misalignment and mechanical issues.
Ultrasound Inspection
Ultrasound detects early mechanical and electrical faults by sensing subtle changes in ultrasonic amplitude.
Vibration Analysis
Vibration analysis detects malfunctions in rotating equipment by analysing vibration signatures.
Fluid/Oil Analysis
Oil analysis supports proactive maintenance decisions and identifies contamination or deterioration early.
Thermal Imaging
Thermography highlights abnormal heat signatures that may indicate inefficiencies or faults.
Borescope Inspections
Identify wear and internal component issues before they develop into failures.
Visual Inspections
Technicians perform hands-on checks to identify leaks, wear, misalignment and mechanical abnormalities.
Ultrasound Inspection
Ultrasound detects early stage bearing defects and electrical anomalies through ultrasonic signatures.
