An open development platform for Condition Based Monitoring (CBM) of industrial equipment, assets and structures.
Unplanned equipment downtime causes significant disruption to operations and productivity which directly impacts a company’s bottom line. This problem is further compounded with legacy equipment that are prone to frequent failures. Current inspection methods mainly involve maintenance personnel physically checking equipment on a periodic basis. This approach is resource intensive and cannot be scaled easily. Further, complexity and cost of repairs increase after equipment failures occur, compared to preventive measures.
Condition Based Monitoring (CBM)
CBM based maintenance monitors the condition of an asset continuously and detects early warning signals that point to upcoming failures. For example, excessive vibration, heat, and noise are early indicators for equipment failures. The goal of CBM is to proactively schedule maintenance before failures occur.
