Why Select this Training Course?

These days, many organisations in mining, utilities, oil and gas, and government fields expect representatives from their workforce to have a certain level of certification to handle data collection, analysis and interpretation, prediction, and corrective action. The emphasis on certification stems from the necessity to cut both operation costs and idle time and manage risks during operations.

The Rcademy Certified Condition Monitoring Engineer course is designed to meet industry requirements in condition monitoring for engineers and professionals in industries such as manufacturing, energy, aerospace, automotive, and more. This course offers participants a complete and industry-focused masterclass to understand predictive maintenance operations and enable resource optimisation.

What are the five elements of condition monitoring?

The centrepiece of condition monitoring is data collection, analysis, alert generation, maintenance planning, and process improvement. Data collection involves gathering information from sensors or monitoring devices. Data analysis detects abnormal patterns in the collected data. Alert generation allows for immediate notification when faults are discovered. Maintenance planning helps schedule the processes in the most efficient way. Continuous improvement involves fine-tuning the monitoring system and maintenance process based on the interpretation of the data and feedback.

Which technique is used in condition monitoring?

One common technique used in condition monitoring is vibration analysis. Vibration analysis condition monitoring methods include shock pulse analysis, Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), broadband vibration analysis, ultrasonic analysis, power spectral density, time-waveform analysis, and spectrograms.

Who Should Attend?

The Rcademy Certified Condition Monitoring Engineer course is ideal for:

  • Asset condition monitoring engineers and reliability engineers, whose expertise lies in assessing the current life stage of equipment and machinery.
  • Condition monitoring program managers who are in charge of both the implementation and the supervision of the condition monitoring programs within a given organisation.
  • Mechanics and service technicians who do maintenance and repair works according to performance data analysis to ensure proper equipment performance.
  • Technical professionals such as operators who reduce operational disruptions by adopting condition monitoring methods and help improve equipment performance.
  • Managers and maintenance managers.
