Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM)
Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) is a maintenance strategy that involves monitoring the performance and condition of equipment in real-time. Instead of following a strict schedule of routine maintenance, CBM assesses the actual state of machinery using sensors and data analysis. If the equipment shows signs of wear or deteriorating performance, maintenance is performed as needed. This approach helps to prevent unexpected failures, reduces maintenance costs, and extends the life of the equipment. Essentially, CBM ensures that maintenance actions are based on the actual condition of the equipment rather than on predetermined timelines.
