Effective Automotive Testing and Measurement with Advanced Vibration Monitoring Technology

Image
Advanced vibration monitoring and analysis technology has long been a significant asset for a number of industries. However, attaching sensors to equipment can be time-consuming, and not always practical. Recent advancements have expanded the benefits vibration monitoring and analysis technology platforms can provide, such as completely non-contact platforms. Non-contact vibration monitoring technology is perfect for testing and measurement in the automotive industry. Vibration Monitoring Choosing the Right Vibration Analysis Equipment The most exciting leading-edge advancement in the vibration analysis space is the use of vibration analysis equipment that relies on Motion Amplification technology rather than contact sensors. Vibration analysis platforms powered by Motion Amplification® effectively turn a camera’s pixels into real-time displacement and vibration sensors to amplify and visualize motion that would otherwise remain invisible. It’s an innovation that allows for a compreh

How to Communicate the Value of Vibration Monitoring and Predictive Maintenance

Your production assets are critical to everything you do, and when there’s a problem, big or small, it costs money. From the lost productivity to the cost of repairs or replacement, downtime can be expensive. This is why predictive maintenance and vibration monitoring are so crucial. Vibration monitoring technology can help plan downtime around existing schedules and reduce the amount of downtime overall by identifying issues before they become serious. While technically minded people understand this, non-technical team members and stakeholders might question the investment needed in specialized equipment. Regardless of your industry, here are the key points to communicate to key stakeholders. Vibration Monitoring Waiting for Repairs Is Costly Repairing or replacing critical assets costs your operation in more ways than one. Not only do you need to pay the cost of parts and labor, but that downtime means less time your equipment is producing revenue. What’s even worse than repairs is
