How Predictive Analytics Catches The Early Warning Signs You’re Missing Bearing failures typically begin with small, repeatable impact vibrations and slow operating changes that humans often miss in periodic checks. Predictive analytics improves early detection by trending vibration and temperature against each machine’s baseline and by applying techniques like demodulation (envelope analysis) to uncover weak fault signatures earlier than traditional monitoring. What you’ll learn The early warning signs most plants overlook Why overall vibration thresholds miss early bearing damage How predictive analytics and envelope features reveal faults earlier A practical monitoring workflow and action checklist The problem: why early bearing failures are “invisible” 1) Early defects are weak and masked In the earliest stage, bearing damage produces tiny repeated impacts that can be buried under normal machine vibration. Envelope (demodulation) analysis is widely used because...

AI Visual Inspection: 10X Faster, Safer & Smarter Monitoring Traditional infrastructure inspections are slow, costly, and risky. Bridges, highways, power lines, and pipelines need regular monitoring, but manual inspections take weeks, involve high labor costs, and put human inspectors in dangerous environments. Now, AI visual inspection is changing the game, making inspections up to 10 times faster, safer, and more accurate through drones, computer vision, and predictive analytics. The Problem with Traditional Inspections Manual inspections, while reliable in the past, have major limitations: Time-Consuming – Inspectors must physically access each site, slowing down the process. Human Subjectivity – Different inspectors may interpret the same damage differently. Safety Risks – Inspectors often work at dangerous heights or hard-to-reach locations. High Costs – Equipment, manpower, and downtime drive up expenses. Limited Data – Reports may lack detailed, quantifiable data for ...
