In the most recent past, condition monitoring tools and techniques was often looked upon as a maintenance tool in Australia, with little relevance to plant management and operations. In the booming mining and the resulting energy and manufacturing requirements in Australia, it is imperative that companies maintain the highest degree of asset effectiveness. In short, companies need to need to extract maximum profits from the minimum investment in plant and equipment.

The problem is, finding and implementing the right combination of predictive maintenance and condition monitoring technologies is a challenge. World class best practices indicate that up to 50% of your maintenance activity should be spent on condition directed tasks to replace ineffective time based maintenance. Of course, in the real world this is highly demanding on manufacturing, mining and infrastructure engineers, located away from any major infrastructure and immediate transportation, labour is usually finite, plant on site is specialised and availability requirements are ongoing. Recent developments have also meant that it will become increasingly economical, and increasingly strategically important, to perform routine Condition Monitoring tasks in-house, rather than contract out these services.

The conference provides a platform for interaction on state of art Condition Monitoring strategies being followed worldwide. It also provides an opportunity to deliberate on latest trends in the field of Condition Monitoring. Conference attendees will learn practical information on cutting costs and improving the efficiency of both mobile and stationary equipment through a better understanding and integration of condition monitoring tools and techniques.

Key topics

• Syncronising your existing maintenance systems with integrated CM solutions- what to do and what to avoid
• Investigating the tricks and techniques for continuous online monitoring
• Determining frequencies
• Starting up and maintaining an condition monitoring team and programme
• Championing more robust CM as a smarter approach to maintenance to reduce insurance premium
