Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM)

What is Condition-Based Maintenance?

Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) is a maintenance strategy that schedules actions based on the actual condition of machines, monitored through sensors and data analytics, to optimize performance.

Why is it important?

• Cost-efficiency: Maintenance performed only when needed.

• Reliability: Early detection of potential issues.

• Efficiency: Minimized unplanned downtime.

Applications

CBM is used in the energy and manufacturing industries to ensure asset availability, such as in power plants or production lines. Symestic’s MES supports CBM with real-time monitoring, enhancing operational reliability.
