Condition Monitoring Services
Detect equipment faults weeks before they become costly breakdowns.
What Is Condition Monitoring?
Condition monitoring is an often misunderstood maintenance strategy. Applied correctly to high-value or critical equipment, it provides early warning of developing faults — allowing planned interventions before failures occur. AMS reviews existing programs that may have drifted out of alignment with operational needs, and builds new programs tailored to your equipment and criticality profile.
Our Techniques
Vibration Analysis
The most powerful and comprehensive condition monitoring technique for rotating equipment. Detects imbalance, misalignment, looseness, and bearing wear in motors, pumps, fans, and gearboxes. Skilled analysis can predict failure 2–6 months before it occurs — giving ample time to plan and execute corrective maintenance without unplanned downtime.
Oil Analysis
Examines lubricant samples for contamination, wear particles, and additive depletion. Test slates are customised per machine type to maximise diagnostic value. Identifies internal component wear, sealing problems, and opportunities to optimise lubrication schedules — extending component life and reducing lubricant consumption.
Thermography
A certified thermographer conducts thermal imaging surveys to detect electrical faults, loose or corroded connections, overloads, mechanical overheating, and heat exchanger problems. Inspections are non-contact and can be carried out on energised equipment with no shutdown required — making it one of the most cost-effective inspection techniques available.
Condition Monitoring Program Review
A systematic review of your currently employed condition monitoring techniques. AMS establishes which techniques are in use, lists equipment in the program, assesses equipment criticality, aligns techniques to business objectives, and implements changes. Many programs become outdated without review — leading to overspending on techniques that add little value, and gaps where critical equipment goes unmonitored.
Our Review Process
Identify all currently employed condition monitoring techniques
List all equipment included in the current program
Assess equipment criticality and failure mode risks
Evaluate alignment between techniques and business objectives
Identify gaps in coverage and overspend areas
Develop recommendations for an optimised program
Implement changes and establish review cadence
Is Your Condition Monitoring Programme Delivering Value?
AMS can review your existing programme and identify where you're overspending — and where critical equipment isn't being covered.
