Condition Monitoring Alert Fatigue Is a Design Problem, Not a Tuning Problem
TL;DR Tuning thresholds to cut false alarms works for a while, then starts hiding the faults the system was built to catch. A threshold is one number standing in for a judgment ...

How We Taught Solar Monitoring to Stop Mistaking Reflection for a Fault
TL;DR Solar panel glass reflects heat in a way that looks exactly like a developing fault on a thermal camera, and it's easy to mistake for real degradation. Raising alert ...

You Have Condition Monitoring—But Here's What It's Probably Missing
TL;DR Most condition monitoring programs have a blind spot—not because they're monitoring the wrong assets, but because they're reading only one kind of signal. Thermal and ...

Condition Monitoring for Electrical Systems: Why Conveyor Failures Often Start Upstream
TL;DR Conveyor slowdowns and jams often look mechanical, when the root cause is usually electrical. Problems inside panels, MCCs, and VFDs degrade quietly for hours or days before ...
