Effective condition monitoring is essential for maintaining asset reliability and optimizing maintenance strategies. By detecting early signs of equipment degradation, organizations can take proactive measures to prevent failures, extend asset lifespan, and reduce operational risks.
Spartakus APM is a versatile platform that simplifies condition monitoring data reporting. It accommodates different technologies and reporting needs, offering multiple methods to centralize and analyze data effectively.
Whether you rely on vibration analysis, thermography, lubrication monitoring, or remote condition monitoring, Spartakus APM solution provides the tools to integrate and manage your condition monitoring insights.
In this article, we will explore the three primary ways to report condition monitoring data in Spartakus APM.
Three Ways to Enter Results in Spartakus APM
1. Web-Based Manual Reporting
For condition monitoring techniques that require specialized analysis software, such as vibration monitoring, thermography, electrical inspections, and ultrasound testing,
Spartakus APM provides a structured manual reporting system.
- Why use this method? While specialized software tools generate detailed data analysis reports, Spartakus APM centralizes key findings, observations, and failure modes for broader visibility. It standardizes the way results are reported across teams and sites, ensuring all stakeholders have access to up-to-date asset health insights without needing to access multiple external systems.
- How it works: Once the data is collected and analysed in the specialized software, users manually report key findings from external reports, along with observations, work orders, trends, and failure mode classifications.

2. Offline Tablet Route Reporting
For structured inspections, such as operator rounds, preventive maintenance, and lubrication routes, Spartakus APM supports offline data entry via tablet-based routes.
Although operator rounds and preventive maintenance (PM) are not strictly condition-monitoring techniques, we chose to include them for clarity, as they can sometimes incorporate condition-based maintenance technologies like infrared thermography.
- Why use this method? Predefined mobile routes guide technicians through scheduled field inspections, even in areas without internet connectivity. This ensures systematic data collection, improves schedule compliance, and reduces manual entry errors. Collected data is structured to include failure modes, which standardizes inspections and enables consistent, actionable reporting across teams.
- How it works: Predefined routes guide users through asset inspections, prompting them to enter condition monitoring data directly into Spartakus APM.

3. Web API & Third-Party Connectors
For automated data reporting, Spartakus APM integrates with third-party systems, enabling seamless data transfer from condition monitoring technologies such as IoT sensors, lab-based oil analysis, and CMMS integrations.
- Why use this method? By eliminating manual data entry, it enhances monitoring and ensures all condition monitoring data is centralized and accessible within Spartakus APM.
- How it works: External systems send data directly to Spartakus APM via APIs or connectors, allowing for automated data aggregation and visualization.

Conclusion
A well-structured condition monitoring program is crucial for maintaining asset reliability and making informed maintenance decisions while minimizing unplanned downtime. Spartakus APM provides multiple ways to report condition monitoring solutions, allowing organizations to choose the method that best aligns with their processes and technologies.
For condition-based systems requiring specialized analysis software, manual web-based reporting ensures key insights are centralized and accessible to all stakeholders. Offline tablet routes offer a structured approach to data collection in the field, even in areas without connectivity. Meanwhile, automated integrations through APIs and third-party connectors provide an easy flow of real-time data, reducing manual efforts and improving response times.
By selecting the right reporting method, organizations can ensure their condition monitoring efforts translate into actionable insights, helping to prevent failures, extend asset lifespan, and optimize maintenance strategies. A consistent and structured approach to data reporting not only improves visibility into asset health but also improve asset reliability.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How does Spartakus APM simplify preventive and predictive maintenance?
Spartakus APM centralizes asset health data, integrates condition monitoring insights, and automates reporting processes. By consolidating data from various sources, such as condition-monitoring, predictive maintenance and preventive maintenance, it provides a comprehensive view of asset performance, enabling better maintenance planning and decision-making.
Which condition-based monitoring technology should I prioritize?
The choice depends on your industry, asset criticality, and failure modes. For rotating equipment, vibration analysis is often essential. If lubrication issues are a concern, oil analysis is crucial. Thermography is useful for electrical components, while ultrasound testing can detect leaks and mechanical issues. A risk-based approach, focusing on the most failure-prone and costly assets, is generally the best strategy.
