From Vibration Monitoring to Predictive Maintenance: Detecting Failures Before They Happen

Date: Wednesday 23/09/2026 9:30 AM, Tuesday 24/09/2026 3:30 PM

Location: Vibratec, Hall 5.2, booth 150

Description

Unexpected failures lead to service disruptions, increased maintenance costs, and reduced fleet availability. Yet many mechanical issues can be detected long before they become critical through vibration and acoustic monitoring.

During this VibraCafé, Vibratec experts will present practical approaches to early fault detection, combining field measurements, vibration analysis, acoustic monitoring, and numerical simulations to identify the root causes of mechanical defects and optimize maintenance strategies.

Discover how VibraAcquis, our portable vibration and acoustic measurement system, enables fast, reliable data acquisition directly in operational conditions, providing valuable information for preventive and predictive maintenance.

Real-world case studies will illustrate how these techniques help operators improve fleet reliability, reduce unplanned downtime, and make better-informed maintenance decisions.
