Condition-based Maintenance

Condition-based maintenance (CBM) is a strategy used to keep equipment running smoothly by monitoring its actual performance and condition rather than following a fixed schedule. This means that maintenance tasks are performed only when certain indicators, like vibrations or temperature levels, signal that a component is becoming problematic. By focusing on the equipment’s specific needs, CBM helps prevent unexpected failures, reduces unnecessary maintenance, and optimizes costs, ultimately leading to more reliable operations and extended equipment life.
