FreeCondition monitoringIntermediate

Vibration Analysis Training

Condition monitoring for rotating machines, worked the way a route is actually walked: units and running speed, analyser setup and averaging, then reading the spectrum, the time waveform, the orbit and the shaft centreline, and separating unbalance, misalignment, looseness, resonance, bearing faults and sidebands. It ends where the job ends, with ISO 10816 limits, ISO 1940 balance grades, a field balance and a findings note.

Set Fmax, lines of resolution and averages for a machine at a known running speed
Read a spectrum peak by peak and name each one as 1x, a harmonic, sub-synchronous or non-synchronous
Separate unbalance, misalignment and looseness using 1x, 2x, axial amplitude and phase readings

Machinery Fault Diagnosis and Condition Monitoring

The layer that separates a data collector from a diagnostician: what the analyser is doing to your data, how to choose Fmax, lines of resolution and averaging for the fault you are actually hunting, how to read the time waveform, the orbit and the shaft centreline beside the spectrum, how to measure sideband spacing and name the shaft that is modulating, how to place a rolling element bearing on the four stages of failure, and how to write the condition report a planner can schedule a job from.

Choose Fmax, lines of resolution and averaging for the fault you are hunting, and show the arithmetic
Spot a peak that is an artefact of the analyser settings rather than a real machine force
Read the time waveform, the orbit and the shaft centreline alongside the spectrum

Infrared Thermography Training

A short, practical foundation in thermal imaging for plant work: what the camera actually measures and what it never sees, emissivity and reflected apparent temperature, loaded electrical surveys and three-phase comparison, motors and bearings and couplings, building envelope and lagging and moisture, solar PV hot cells and substrings, and the route survey and written finding that turn a pretty picture into a work order.

Set emissivity and reflected apparent temperature, and recognise when a shiny surface has made a reading worthless
Plan a loaded electrical survey, record load and ambient with every image, and work safely with an authorised electrician
Classify a hot joint by comparing it with the same connection on the other two phases

Reliability Engineering: RCM, Root Cause Analysis, Weibull

The reliability engineer's toolkit for plants, utilities and oil and gas: failure rate, MTBF and availability, failure patterns and the P-F curve, criticality, equipment FMECA, the seven questions of reliability-centred maintenance with task selection and failure-finding intervals, root cause analysis with 5 Whys, fishbones, logic trees and fault trees, Weibull analysis by hand and in Python, block diagrams, spares, bad actors, precision maintenance and KPIs.

Calculate MTBF, MTTR, failure rate, reliability and availability from plant failure records
Explain the six failure patterns and set on-condition intervals from the P-F interval
Rank assets by criticality and write an equipment FMECA with severity read first

FreeMaintenanceBeginner

Maintenance Planning, Scheduling and CMMS with SAP PM

The work management skills a maintenance planner is hired for: maintenance strategies, asset hierarchy and criticality (ISO 14224), the work-order lifecycle, job planning and work packs, weekly scheduling, backlog and KPIs such as MTBF, MTTR and schedule compliance, spares and kitting, PM programmes, a hands-on open-source CMMS, and SAP PM technical objects, notifications, orders and maintenance plans.

Choose a maintenance strategy per asset and explain how planning raises wrench time
Build an asset hierarchy on the ISO 14224 taxonomy and rank assets by criticality
Screen work requests, rank the backlog with a priority index and close orders with failure codes

FreeMaintenanceIntermediate

Pumps, Compressors and Rotating Equipment

The machinery side of a process plant, taught the way a rotating equipment engineer uses it: how centrifugal pumps build head, pump and system curves, NPSH and cavitation, affinity laws and pump selection, API 610 pump types, positive displacement pumps, mechanical seals and API 682 seal plans, bearings and lubrication, installation and shaft alignment, reciprocating, screw and centrifugal compressors, surge, and commissioning, testing and troubleshooting.

Convert pressure to head, work hydraulic and shaft power, and read a centrifugal pump's parts and curves
Build a system curve and find the operating point for one pump and for pumps in parallel and series
Calculate NPSH available and judge the margin against NPSH3 at the worst case

FreeAI and machine learningIntermediate

Predictive Maintenance with Machine Learning

The industrial AI application with a budget behind it, built end to end: failure modes and what each sensor sees, signals to condition indicators, anomaly detection on normal data, fault classification, deep learning on windows, remaining useful life on NASA's run-to-failure engines, and the alerting and deployment that decide whether anyone acts.

Choose the sensor by the warning time you need, and name the failure mode from its spectrum
Turn windows into condition indicators — kurtosis, band energies, envelope peaks — and rank them
Build a per-asset anomaly detector on healthy data with a threshold and persistence that stop alert floods

FreeManufacturing excellenceBeginner

Lean Manufacturing, OEE and TPM

The shop-floor half of manufacturing excellence, built in the order a line is actually improved: value and the eight wastes, gemba walks and bottlenecks, lead time and takt time, value stream mapping, flow and cells, pull and kanban sizing, standard work and 5S. Then the two numbers a plant manager is judged on. OEE calculated from a real shift, the six big losses behind it, quick changeover, and total productive maintenance through its eight pillars and twelve implementation steps.

Calculate availability, performance, quality and OEE from one shift of real line data
Split a shift of downtime across the six big losses and name the one costing most
Draw a current-state value stream map with observed data boxes, then a future state you can reach

Why learn Maintenance and condition monitoring in India

Unplanned downtime is one of the largest avoidable costs in industry. Plants are moving from fixing breakdowns to predicting them, which calls for technicians and engineers who can read vibration and thermal data and run a structured maintenance programme.

How to choose

Start with Vibration Analysis Training, then Machinery Fault Diagnosis and Condition Monitoring. Infrared Thermography adds the electrical and thermal side.

Predictive Maintenance with Machine Learning suits engineers who already write some Python. Lean Manufacturing, OEE and TPM puts maintenance inside the production numbers managers watch.
