The Reliability Route

A monthly machine health programme with optional precision lubrication

An experienced analyst on your plant floor every month — for one day or as many days as your asset list needs — collecting vibration data, with lubrication available as an optional add-on, and telling you plainly what needs attention.

Condition monitoring that fits a smaller plant

Most condition monitoring is sold to plants with dedicated reliability teams and six-figure budgets. That doesn't describe the majority of UK manufacturers. The Reliability Route gives you the same core discipline — regular data, expert interpretation, with optional disciplined lubrication — at a monthly cost you can plan around.

We offer vibration analysis as the core service, with precision lubrication available as an optional add-on. Analysis tells you what's degrading; lubrication is the single most common reason it's degrading in the first place. Adding lubrication to the same visit closes the loop when you choose it.

What's included every month

  • A full engineering day on site every month — add as many extra days as your site needs
  • A route scaled to your plant: critical assets first, then everything else you want covered
  • Spare capacity in a day put to use — extra measurement points, lubrication surveys or team coaching
  • Handheld vibration data collection and expert analysis
  • Optional precision lubrication service on the same visit
  • Clear, prioritised report within 24 hours
  • Baseline assessment on the first visit
  • Quarterly reliability review call
  • Simple digital access to reports and history
  • Priority scheduling for follow-up work
  • Option to add permanent or wireless sensors at any time

Technology flexibility

Handheld data collection is the core of the route and covers the vast majority of assets brilliantly. Where a machine is genuinely critical, hard to reach or changing fast, we can supply, install and support permanent or wireless sensors — and fold that data into the same monthly reporting. You add them when they earn their place, not because a package demanded it up front.

How a typical day on site works

We work around production, not against it. Routes are planned so machines are measured under normal running conditions wherever possible.

On arrival

Site induction, a quick catch-up with your maintenance team and a review of anything that's changed since last month.

Morning

We work the route: handheld vibration data collection across bearings, motors, pumps, fans and gearboxes at agreed measurement points.

Through the day

Optional precision lubrication on the same pass — correct grease, correct volume, clean fittings, recorded every time.

As we go

Anything urgent is flagged to you on the day. You never wait for a report to hear about a serious problem.

Before we leave

A short verbal wash-up so your team knows what we saw and what's likely coming next.

Within 24 hours

Your written report lands: prioritised findings, severity, recommended actions and trend comparisons against baseline.

How many days does your site actually need?

It isn't a one-day-fits-all service. Some plants are comfortably covered in a single day a month; larger sites with hundreds of rotating assets book several consecutive days. You decide the level of coverage — we price it honestly per day and tell you at the walk-through what's realistic.

Keeping costs down

One day a month, focused purely on the critical assets that are integral to your operation. The machines that stop production if they stop turning — nothing else on the route.

Full plant coverage

As many days a month as it takes to cover every rotating asset you want monitored. Consecutive days, split visits or a rolling route — whatever suits your production plan.

Making the most of spare capacity

If a booked day finishes early we don't pack up. We add extra measurement points, run a lubrication survey, check secondary assets or coach your maintenance team, so every day is fully used.

Benefits across your rotating equipment

If it turns, it tells us something. Here's what we typically find and prevent.

Electric motors

Bearing wear, looseness, misalignment, electrical fault signatures and soft foot.

Pumps

Cavitation, imbalance, coupling issues and early bearing degradation.

Fans and blowers

Imbalance from build-up or erosion, bearing defects and structural resonance.

Gearboxes

Gear mesh faults, tooth wear, shaft defects and lubrication condition.

Compressors

Valve and bearing condition plus trending on load-critical assets.

Conveyors and drives

Idler and drive-end bearings, belt tension effects and misalignment.
