Conditioned Based Monitoring (CbM)
Condition-based Monitoring (CbM) is crucial for modern industrial maintenance strategies because it allows companies to monitor the health of machinery and equipment in real-time, enabling timely interventions. Unlike traditional maintenance approaches such as reactive or scheduled maintenance, CbM relies on data collected from sensors and diagnostic tools to assess equipment condition. This predictive insight means maintenance is performed only when it’s necessary, preventing unexpected breakdowns and minimizing equipment downtime. By continuously tracking parameters like vibration, temperature, pressure, and wear, companies can detect early signs of equipment failure and take action before a problem escalates into a costly repair or a complete operational shutdown.
CbM not only helps prevent sudden equipment failures but also optimizes maintenance schedules. By focusing maintenance efforts based on actual data rather than time-based intervals, companies avoid unnecessary service tasks that often result in wasted labor and resources. This strategic approach improves the efficiency of both maintenance teams and machinery, ensuring that resources are only deployed when they’re truly needed. As a result, equipment operates at peak performance for longer, extending its lifespan and reducing the need for costly replacements. This helps businesses save on repair costs, as minor issues can be addressed before they turn into major failures.
In addition to cost savings, CbM saves valuable time by minimizing unplanned downtime, which can be highly disruptive to production processes. For industries with critical equipment, such as manufacturing, energy, and transportation, unplanned downtime can lead to significant revenue losses, customer dissatisfaction, and even safety risks. With CbM, companies can plan maintenance during non-peak hours, align it with production schedules, and avoid emergency repairs, which are often more expensive and time-consuming. In the long run, this results in improved productivity, better asset management, and more predictable operational outcomes, making CbM a highly valuable investment for businesses looking to improve both their efficiency and profitability.

Real-Time Machine Health Monitoring
AI-Powered Condition-Based Monitoring (CbM) systems revolutionize industrial operations by enabling continuous monitoring of machine states and real-time anomaly detection directly on the edge. These systems provide an unparalleled advantage by detecting issues as they arise, preventing costly downtime and extending machine life.
The true power of AI-Powered CbM systems lies in their ability to perform multi-class anomaly detection, identifying not just one but multiple types of irregularities that could indicate potential issues. Over time, as the system gathers more data, it can transition into Predictive Maintenance (PdM), where it proactively identifies early signs of potential failure. This capability allows maintenance teams to address issues before they escalate, leading to more efficient operations, reduced maintenance costs, and a significant reduction in unplanned downtime.
Application
Most machines with dynamic operating conditions that require real-time monitoring to detect deviations from normal operation.
Measurement
Vibration, Temperature, Acoustic, Pressure, Electrical Measurements, Humidity and Moisture, Corrosion & Wear, RPM, and Flow Rate.
