CONDITION MONITORING IN AN AGE OF MODERNIZATION How (and Why) to Adapt
The widespread application and use of electricity, which may now seem like a simple commodity, is considered one of the greatest technical developments of all time. However, keeping up with today’s demand for power is anything but simple: a vast amount of resources goes into maintaining a reliable infrastructure.
A century ago, we didn’t have as many assets to monitor and protect against failure - but naturally, as society has developed and adopted technology, our...
