Condition Based Monitoring (CBM)

CBM involves the use of a systematic method in monitoring and trending of   assets based on a regular schedule to determine the condition of machines'   wear and tear.

The on-line detection, trending & diagnostics provide an early warning and   eliminate the need for periodic disassembly, inspection and the possibility of   unexpected breakdown.

The utilisation of CBM offers the following advantages:

• reduction in overall maintenance costs;



• reduction in machine downtime;



• advanced preparation of work schedules, manpower requirements, tools and spare parts; and



• minimisation on the probability of damage to the machine from unforeseen failure.

Assets in good condition can continue to run as long as no problems develop and their performance often exceed the manufacturers' recommended maintenance intervals.
