Vibration condition monitoring: from sensor placement to fault frequencies
A practical guide to vibration monitoring — accelerometers, mounting, ISO 10816 zones, envelope analysis, and the fault frequencies that name the failure.
Predictive maintenance
Maintenance scheduled from evidence of changing failure risk.
Maintenance triggered by evidence that an asset's condition or failure risk is changing, using rules, models, or statistical trends. Prediction is useful only when it leads to a feasible intervention before the consequence occurs.

In depth
Predictive maintenance starts with signal quality
Sampling, timestamps, operating context, labels, and work-order feedback matter more than choosing a sophisticated model too early.
The predictive maintenance data stack, end to end
From vibration sensor to work order: sensing, transport, context, models, and the analytics layer where predictions become decisions.
