Predictive Maintenance
Reduce Unplanned Downtime With Condition-Based Insight
Predictive maintenance helps you catch developing failures early—before they turn into emergency repairs, missed production, and rushed decisions. MTI delivers data-driven testing and analysis that helps maintenance teams prioritize work, plan outages, and extend equipment life with confidence.
Vibration analysis, infrared thermography & ultrasound
Actionable findings—tied to real repair experience
Bridge to continuous monitoring with MTI Wireless
Turn Condition Data Into Planned Action
The value of predictive maintenance isn’t “more data”—it’s fewer surprises. MTI helps you identify issues early, prioritize corrective work, and build maintenance plans around your schedule instead of reacting to failures.
Prevent
Catch Failures Early
Identify developing mechanical and electrical issues before they become downtime events.
Plan
Schedule Work on Your Terms
Prioritize repairs, order parts, and plan outages based on real condition—no guessing.
Extend
Increase Equipment Life
Reduce repeat failures by addressing root cause drivers like alignment, bearing wear, and loading.
Best for
Critical Assets & Repeat-Failure Equipment
- Motors, pumps, fans, blowers
- Gear reducers & power transmission
- Compressors and rotating assemblies
- Hard-to-replace or long-lead assets
- Production bottleneck equipment
- Assets with high downtime cost
What you get
Clear Findings + Practical Next Steps
We translate readings into prioritized actions—so you can decide what needs attention now, what can wait, and what should be monitored.
- Priority-based recommendations
- Repair planning support
- Root cause direction
- Baseline condition tracking
- Outage and shutdown readiness
- Integration with MTI services
Vibration Analysis
Identify Imbalance, Misalignment, Bearing Wear & Mechanical Looseness
Vibration analysis is one of the fastest ways to detect mechanical issues developing inside rotating equipment. MTI uses professional data collection and analysis to identify common fault patterns and help you act early.
Level II Vibration Analysis
Analysis and interpretation designed to identify developing faults and guide corrective action.
Route-Based Programs
Scheduled collection for prioritized equipment sets—ideal for plant-wide reliability improvement.
Problem Asset Troubleshooting
Targeted data collection on chronic issues to isolate root cause drivers and reduce repeat failures.
When it pays off
Stop repeat failures and surprise outages
- Unusual noise or vibration
- Recurring bearing failures
- High coupling wear
- Frequent alignment issues
- Loose foundations or soft foot
- Post-repair verification
Bridge to continuous visibility
Some equipment is too critical to “check occasionally”
For high-risk assets, MTI Wireless can provide continuous monitoring that alerts your team before a failure develops.
Infrared Thermography
Detect Heat-Related Risks in Electrical and Mechanical Systems
Infrared thermography helps identify overheating connections, imbalanced loading, and friction-related heat—before they cause trips, damage, or unsafe conditions. It’s especially valuable during startups, shutdowns, and planned inspections.
Electrical Hot Spots
Identify loose connections and abnormal heating in panels, starters, and distribution components.
Mechanical Heat Indicators
Detect friction and heat patterns tied to bearings, misalignment, lubrication issues, and loading.
Verification After Corrective Work
Confirm improvements after repairs, replacements, and configuration changes.
Common findings
What IR helps you catch
- Loose electrical connections
- Overloaded circuits
- Failing bearings
- Lubrication issues
- Friction and misalignment
- Unsafe hot spots
When an issue is identified, we can help coordinate next steps through field service, repair, or electronics support.
Ultrasound
Find Leaks, Bearing Issues, and Abnormal Mechanical Behavior
Ultrasound testing can identify issues that are difficult to detect visually—making it a valuable tool for locating compressed air leaks, diagnosing bearing conditions, and supporting proactive maintenance planning.
Leak Detection
Identify compressed air and vacuum leaks that waste energy and reduce system efficiency.
Bearing Condition
Detect early bearing wear and lubrication issues before vibration levels escalate.
Maintenance Planning
Prioritize repairs and target maintenance resources where they’ll deliver the most impact.
Electrical Testing
Verify Motor and System Electrical Health
Electrical issues can masquerade as mechanical problems—and vice versa. MTI supports targeted testing to help identify developing electrical concerns, confirm stability after repairs, and reduce the risk of repeat events.
Motor Condition Checks
Support for identifying electrical indicators tied to insulation health and abnormal operating conditions.
Post-Repair Verification
Confirm improvements after repair, replacement, and upgrades—especially during startups and outages.
Cross-Team Troubleshooting
When problems involve drives, starters, or controls, we can coordinate with electronics support.
Common triggers
When it’s time to test
- Frequent breaker trips
- Overheating motors
- Recurring drive faults
- Unexpected speed/torque issues
- Post-install verification
- Critical equipment outages
If the issue spans mechanical + electrical, MTI can help coordinate the right resources.
Make it stick

Continuous Monitoring
When Your Most Critical Assets Need 24/7 Visibility
Route-based predictive maintenance is powerful—but some assets carry too much risk between inspections. For those machines, MTI Wireless provides continuous condition monitoring that can alert your team when vibration and temperature exceed predetermined thresholds.
Best fit
Use continuous monitoring when:
- Failure cost is high
- Assets are hard to access
- Symptoms develop quickly
- Equipment is remote
- Intervals between routes are too long
- Teams need early warning alerts
We can help you decide which assets belong in a route-based program vs. continuous monitoring.
Next step
Start small, scale intelligently
Many teams begin with a small set of high-risk assets and expand as they prove ROI. MTI can support both approaches: route-based PdM and continuous monitoring for critical equipment.
