Condition monitoring is the process of continuously or periodically checking the health of machinery and equipment to detect changes that may indicate developing faults. It involves techniques such as vibration analysis, thermography, oil analysis, and acoustic monitoring to track performance, identify early warning signs, and predict potential failures. The main goal is to prevent unexpected breakdowns, extend equipment life, and reduce maintenance costs by enabling timely, data-driven maintenance actions instead of relying solely on scheduled servicing.
