A Condition Monitoring Assessment (CMA) is a systematic process to evaluate the health and performance of machinery and equipment. It typically involves the following steps:

1. Data Collection:
   • Sensor Installation: Verification of the sensors that are installed on equipment to measure various parameters such as vibration, temperature, pressure, and electrical signals.
   • Review of your standing Manual Measurements: In some cases, manual measurements may be taken using handheld devices.
   • Operational Data: We analyze how effective and extensive your SCADA data collecting of historical and real-time operational data from the equipment’s control system.
2. Data Analysis:
   • Trend Analysis: Comparing current data with historical data to identify trends and deviations. Of importance is whether or not your team can pass a R& R test.
   • Signal Processing: Where are you using techniques like Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) to convert time-domain data into frequency-domain data for detailed analysis and RpK the Reliability Performance Index?
   • Pattern Recognition: How do you go about identifying patterns and anomalies that indicate potential issues.
3. Diagnosis:
   • Fault Detection: Identifying specific faults or potential failure modes based on the analyzed data.
   • Root Cause Analysis: Determining the underlying causes of detected faults.
4. Reporting:
   • Condition Reports: What is the overall quality of the detailed reports you review on the health and performance of the equipment, highlighting any detected issues and their severity.
   • Recommendations: Providing maintenance recommendations and action plans to address identified issues.
5. Implementation:
   • Maintenance Actions: Carrying out recommended maintenance activities, such as repairs, part replacements, or adjustments.
   • Continuous Monitoring: While we don’t specialize in supply of this equipment per se, we are experienced with setting up ongoing monitoring to track the effectiveness of maintenance actions and detect new issues early.
6. Review and Optimization:
   • Performance Review: Reviewing the outcomes of the maintenance actions and their impact on equipment performance.
   • Process Improvement: Continuously refining the condition monitoring process based on lessons learned and technological advancements.

In summary, a Condition Monitoring Assessment performed by TMG is a comprehensive approach to ensure the reliability and efficiency of machinery by continuously monitoring their condition, diagnosing issues early, and implementing corrective actions.
