Summary
In short
- A condition monitoring route plan is a plan used in KnowMaintain that sets which assets are monitored, by which technique, at what interval and against which alarm limits. It is built against ISO 55001 cl.8.1 and forms part of the Reliability and Predictive Maintenance programme.
- Written once and reviewed yearly. Owned by reliability.
- The template holds 48 fields across 5 sections, with route entries repeating for each entry.
- Scoring is route coverage, where high is good.
- ISO 55001 is asset management systems. The international standard for getting value from physical assets across their whole life. Underpins the maintenance templates.
- It connects to the rest of the library: links Vibration, Thermography, Criticality.
What it is
What it is
What is a condition monitoring route plan?
A condition monitoring route plan is a plan used in KnowMaintain that sets which assets are monitored, by which technique, at what interval and against which alarm limits. It is built against ISO 55001 cl.8.1 and forms part of the Reliability and Predictive Maintenance programme.
When is a condition monitoring route plan completed?
A condition monitoring route plan is completed when the thing being planned is created, and again at the stated review interval. Written once and reviewed yearly.
When to use it
When to use it, and when not to
This plan is one step in a larger programme. Using it for work that belongs to a neighbouring template produces records that are hard to report on later.
Use it for
- The event or activity this plan covers has occurred, or is about to
- Authorisation is needed before the work can begin
- The workspace is being set up, or the register needs an entry added or retired
- You are running the Reliability and Predictive Maintenance programme and this is one of its steps
- A linked record needs this one to exist: links vibration, thermography, criticality
Not for
- Motor Current Signature Analysis, which analyses motor current to find rotor bar, air gap and load faults without stopping the machine.
- Alignment and Balance Record, which records shaft alignment or rotor balancing work, with before and after readings.
- Lubrication Route Record, which records the lubrication round, with what was applied where, how much, and any condition observed.
- Anything outside KnowMaintain, which belongs in the workspace that owns that process
Standards

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the condition monitoring route plan template based on?+
It is built against ISO 55001 cl.8.1. ISO 55001 is asset management systems. The international standard for getting value from physical assets across their whole life. Underpins the maintenance templates. ISO is international Organization for Standardization. A voluntary international standard. Widely adopted, often required by customers, and certifiable where a management system standard.
What sections does the condition monitoring route plan contain?+
There are 5 sections: header, coverage, route entries, programme health, result. Together they hold 48 fields, 40 of which are required.
How many condition monitoring route plan records should we have?+
This is a singleton. One record per workspace, set up once and maintained, rather than one per event. Other templates refer back to it.
Which programme does the condition monitoring route plan belong to?+
It is part of Reliability and Predictive Maintenance. Intervals set by failure behaviour rather than by the calendar.
How is a condition monitoring route plan scored?+
Scoring is route coverage. High is good. Scores exist to make the form tell you something, not to produce a percentage for its own sake.
Can the condition monitoring route plan template be changed?+
Yes. Every field, option, score and conditional rule is editable, and the links to other templates come with it. Most teams install it as it is, run it for a cycle, then adjust.
The agents
What the agents do with it
The form is the easy part. Keeping it current, routing it to the right owner and holding the evidence together is the work that actually slips.
Holds the condition monitoring route plan library against your registers, routes each record to its owner, and keeps the evidence trail together.
Coordinates the crew, rolls completion and exceptions into one view, and holds every write for your approval before it touches a record.
This template lives in KnowMaintain — asset maintenance. Work orders, planned maintenance, calibration, reliability and shutdowns.
