CBM is an abbreviation that stands for Condition Based Monitoring. It is type of a predictive maintenance that involves use of sensors for the purpose of measuring assets over a period of time. The data is collected to establish trends and predict equipment failures.
The use of condition monitoring enables scheduled maintenance to avoid the consequential damage that costs time and money on the production floor. The technology can help expand the lifespans of your machines. It is used on rotating equipment, machineries, and auxiliary systems. They can also be used in piping, heat exchangers and boilers, etc.
Here are advantages of CBMs:
Around the Clock Remote Monitoring: The CBMs work best when they monitor machinery around the clock. Maintenance can be performed when the health or condition of the machine warrants. You know it is warranted thanks to the analysis of the machine done by the CBM device.
Cost Effectiveness:
In the past, this equipment was expensive and required highly-trained staff to track analysis. Today, the devices are more affordable. Custom devices can be built, meaning your machines will be in good hands. Remember that the cost in preventative maintenance is usually less than a total system shutdown.
This shift is in part due to the development of AI (Artificial Intelligence) and micro-electronics which together paired with that of telecommunications to make a whole new breed in condition-based monitoring systems.
Simple to Use:
New CBMs are small, lower cost, and easy to attach to wireless sensors. They can measure changes in just a few minutes, transferring that data to a central database. Users have access to the data via any web browser. With the help of machinery vibration, the computer gives ample warning to maintenance issues.
