Condition monitoring is essential to the implementation of a successful predictive maintenance strategy. Periodically monitoring the "health" of your equipment decreases downtime and reduces maintenance costs. For rotating and reciprocating machinery, a vibration condition monitoring program is the best way to predict machine failure before it happens.

The Pioneer Engineering Difference

There are a number of companies that offer condition monitoring services, but Pioneer Engineering does it better. . .

• Our analysts are engineers - Unlike our competitors, we use qualified mechanical engineers to collect, trend, and analyze your data.
• Custom reporting - Our engineers/analysts prepare machine condition reports to your specifications. Some customers request lots of analysis details and others want just maintenance recommendations. You tell us what you want.
• It's your data - Any data collected for you is co-owned. At your request, we can provide all your historical data in an standard industry format.
• Transition your program from outsourced to in-house - With our quality training services, we can help you transition from an outsourced to an in-house condition monitoring program, all the while maintaining the highest standards.
• Advanced engineering services available - Sometimes complex vibration or redesign problems crop up. Pioneer Engineering has the capabilities to tackle these problems. See our services page for details on these services (link).

Get a condition monitoring program off the ground

If you don't have the capital money or time to start a condition monitoring program, Pioneer Engineering can help. We utilize the latest hardware and software and have expert analysts on staff. We can get a world class program up and running in no time. We collect the data, analyze it, and submit an easy-to-read report detailing the results of our expert analysis.

We can also help you get an in-house program started. We'll take the "learning curve" out of the equation. We do this by starting the program with our own equipment until cost justifications warrant your own capital money. Once the program is running smoothly, we'll switch everything over to your new system. We'll get you trained, and then remain available for help any time you need it.
