| | | Condition Based Maintenance |
| Many utilities are facing deregulation and increasing competition and are looking for ways to maximize the value of their existing assets. To optimize their operations and maintenance activities they are integrating new technologies to enhance their asset management strategy. Condition Based Maintenance (CBM) is a maintenance strategy that utilizes data collected from periodic inspections, diagnostic testing, and Predictive Maintenance technologies to determine the optimum maintenance strategy. Unlike traditional time-based maintenance, Condition Based Maintenance is a process that utilizes off-line and on-line test data to determine when maintenance needs to be performed.
CBM is a process of: |
|
|
- Collecting condition data
- Converting data into useful information
- Taking action based on that information
|
