Condition Monitoring and ICT application

The role of Condition Monitoring and Information and Communication and Technologies (ICT) is recognised by academia and industries as an important area of research as it facilitates an effective management of the operation and maintenance process. Therefore, more and more researchers have undertaken R&D activities in these two multi-disciplinary areas in search of innovative solutions to the challenges encountered by various industries. To ensure high level of quality, reliability, availability and performance of the plant, machineries it is essential to adopt the most suitable Condition Monitoring techniques systematic identification and elimination of plant and machinery health deterioration at an early stage and help engineers to prolong service lives of machinery and equipments. The theme of this e-book on Condition Monitoring and application of ICT is appropriately relevant for the health management system of the manufacturing, transport, infrastructure and process industries under present scenario. There are seven papers included covering the following multi-disciplinary areas of Condition Monitoring and application of ICT.
