Predictive monitoring

« Back to Glossary Index

The term Pre­dic­tive Mon­i­tor­ing is a syn­onym for Pre­dic­tive Mon­i­tor­ing, the an­tic­i­pa­to­ry mon­i­tor­ing of ma­chines, plants and process­es. Close­ly re­lat­ed to pre­dic­tive mon­i­tor­ing are con­di­tion mon­i­tor­ing and pre­dic­tive main­te­nance. Con­di­tion mon­i­tor­ing in­volves the use of mea­sure­ment, test­ing and vi­su­al­iza­tion tech­nol­o­gy and is used to de­tect faults in ma­chines, sys­tems and process­es at an ear­ly stage in or­der to rule out their fail­ure. Sen­sors record im­por­tant in­flu­enc­ing fac­tors (vi­bra­tions, tem­per­a­ture curves, etc.) and trans­mit the cor­re­spond­ing da­ta to eval­u­a­tion sys­tems. Pre­dic­tive main­te­nance is the fur­ther de­vel­op­ment of pre­ven­tive main­te­nance and aims to ac­ti­vate the main­te­nance case on­ly when de fac­to nec­es­sary. Dig­i­tal con­di­tion mon­i­tor­ing sys­tems are pri­mar­i­ly used for this pur­pose. The mea­sures of pre­dic­tive main­te­nance are de­scribed in DIN EN 13306.
