In this edition of Ask the Expert, we were joined by Omron's David Breckell a Panel Solutions Specialist to discuss condition monitoring. There are many areas within industries that rely on condition monitoring to ensure that plant and machine downtime are mitigated. Here we find out more about the difference between Preventative and Predicative Maintenance and also discover how Omron products allow users to retrofit modern solutions for condition monitoring.
Using condition monitoring effectively allows for robust Predictive Maintenance strategies to be deployed. In this episode, we pick up on two areas of focus with David, first we cover the workhorse of many industries, the motor and then something that can often be overlooked, the control panel, where we discover Omron's 24/7 solution for monitoring.
