COURSE OVERVIEW
Build a Practical Foundation Across Predictive Technologies
The course introduces vibration analysis, infrared thermography, airborne and structure-borne ultrasonics, oil analysis, and motor circuit analysis. Participants learn what each technology can detect, where it fits, and which application traps can undermine results.
Instruction also connects individual technologies to condition-based maintenance, predictive maintenance, asset health, route design, program standards, and broader reliability objectives.
