Course Description
Continuous online vibration monitoring generates far more data than analysts can review manually. Automated fault detection uses algorithms and AI to screen vibration data continuously, flagging developing faults for analyst attention. This course focuses on building and operating automated vibration fault detection.
Participants learn how automated detection works — from alarm strategies and statistical methods to machine-learning-based anomaly detection — and how to deploy it in online monitoring systems. The course addresses the practical realities of automated screening: reducing false alarms, prioritising alerts, and integrating with analyst workflows.
What you will achieve
By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:
- Explain the role of automated fault detection in vibration monitoring
- Apply alarm strategies and statistical detection methods
- Use machine learning for automated anomaly detection
- Reduce false alarms and prioritise alerts
