Asset Condition Monitoring

Asset Condition Monitoring is about catching degradation before it becomes failure. Most assets do not break without warning. Performance drifts, temperatures rise, vibration patterns change, duty cycles shift, and minor anomalies repeat. The organisations that win operationally are the ones that convert those early signals into targeted intervention rather than reactive callouts after downtime has already occurred.

Squared Technologies builds condition monitoring around field reality: distributed estates, constrained access, and environments where Wi-Fi is unreliable or unavailable. We deploy low-power sensing and connectivity so signals arrive reliably, then shape those signals into events that operational teams can act on. The objective is fewer blind spots, fewer false positives, and a defensible record of what happened and what response followed.

The most valuable condition signals are trend-based. Static thresholds can catch extreme events, but they often miss developing problems. Trend drift, recurring excursions, and anomaly patterns provide earlier warning and better context. That matters for plant and equipment in estates, comms spaces, critical rooms, compounds, and remote sites where a minor fault can escalate quickly or where access costs dominate.

Alert quality is the differentiator. If teams get constant noise, they stop trusting the system. We tune thresholds, trend rules, and anomaly detection so events have meaning. When an event is critical, it should be unambiguous. When a condition is developing slowly, the system should surface it early without flooding teams. Escalation and acknowledgement rules can be used where governance requires a consistent handover and response.

Condition monitoring improves planning and reduces wasted visits. Instead of attending blind, teams can see which asset is drifting, what the pattern looks like, and whether the issue is acute or developing. That allows better coordination of access, spares, and contractors and improves the outcome from each attendance. Over time, event timelines also reveal which assets are high-risk, which sites create repeated issues, and which interventions actually reduce recurrence.

Where assurance matters, evidence matters. Teams often need to demonstrate that assets were operated within tolerance, identify when deviation began, and show what intervention followed. Evidence-ready event trails support audits, insurers, regulated environments, and post-incident review. They also protect teams by replacing opinion with measurable timelines.

Deployments are engineered for coverage, power, access, and maintenance. We commission systems so placement and signal quality are validated upfront, and we design reporting behaviour to balance responsiveness against site visit reduction. The result is a repeatable monitoring layer that scales across estates without becoming another complex IT programme.

If you want condition monitoring that produces actionable events, supports maintenance workflows, and reduces failure risk across your estate, we will design the sensing plan and response model around your constraints and your definition of success.
