Scanimetrics: The Future of Condition-Based Maintenance

13 December 2011 by Scanimetrics

Maintenance is critical for all equipment in any industry, but the larger, more crucial, and more expensive the equipment, the higher the importance of optimal maintenance. In the mining, forestry, energy, and construction industries, much of the work relies on large, crucial, and expensive machinery, where minimum downtime is key to generating value from the asset.

This paper is organized as follows:

• Section 1 describes the two main types of maintenance
• Section 2 defines and describes condition-based maintenance (CBM) and discusses the advantages and disadvantages and operational requirements of CBM as a maintenance system
• Section 3 shows how CBM can increase productivity
• Section 4 describes the limitations of present systems
• Section 5 introduces Scanimetrics' sensor system as a viable means of gathering structural integrity data for CBM systems.
