Introduction
We where contacted by the customer almost 2 years ago, and asked to have a look at their condition monitoring program. This company has been performing Condition Monitoring for more than 10 years, and they have outsourced the service to a local company. During these years they have had variable success, but they have avoided some serious breakdowns on critical machines and therefore they want to continue with Condition Monitoring, but they thought its about time to evaluate the whole Condition Monitoring program. The Condition Monitoring program for vibration is for approx. 1900 measurement points.
Now we told them about the different options for our Condition Monitoring services
1. Karsten Moholt AS perform all readings, analysis and reporting on a monthly basis. 2. Customer perform all readings and send them by eMail to Karsten Moholt AS, for analysis and reporting. We gave a lot of focus on the VIBCODE system (which they really liked), and showed them how easy it could be done. Also the benefit for having their own people doing the measurements, not only the economical part, but that the people that know the machines will also be standing at the machine once per month to look, feel, listen, smell, etc. while performing the measurements.

Condition Monitoring application note: A convincing CM strategy wins a lucrative service contract
In the service contract we have also an important point for the customer witch says that we will at all time try to make the Condition Monitoring program easier and more cost effective. Our focus here will be to have really reliable alarm settings, and also the function for adaptive tasks. In the future the customer will only forward measurements with alarms. We have now also had several balancing jobs for the customer.
Conclusion We got the service contract in December 2005, and started the project in January 2006, so we dont have any measurable result for improvement. But only the reported bearing defects after the first measurement route will give back the money for the investment of the VIBSCANNER. Our point here is that we got the service contract because of our Condition Monitoring philosophy, and the products from PRFTECHNIK. Especially the OMNITREND software and all possibilities with it, was very important, but also the VIBCODE system, even though - in the end they didnt go for it. The next step for this customer will probably be to invest in the balancing module for the VIBSCANNER, and do the balancing jobs themselves. We also hope that in the future we will install some online systems for the most critical machines, but they first want to get the Condition Monitoring program running, for the portable measurements.
