What can be done to maximize reliability and optimize asset utilization? BDSI will provide a holistic solution that can be tailored to any industry and give the end user tremendous cost savings and increase efficiency and performance. To prevent failures of complex machinery and equipment, powerful analytics are needed to detect the root causes of failures and their indicator not just the symptoms. Using Condition Based Maintenance provides new opportunity to use root cause analysis to identify impending mechanical failures.
CBM provides root cause levels of analysis so the maintenance department can take timely, corrective action.
Predictive maintenance solutions help determine the condition of in-service equipment in real time and then use this information to predict when maintenance should be performed. Companies can identify patterns of leading indicators that typically occur before problems begin. Those same companies can use this insight to predict when an asset will fail and then adapt maintenance plans to prevent costly or catastrophic incidents from ever occurring.
This approach is different from preventive maintenance, which occurs on a pre-determined schedule. CBM is based on the actual condition of the equipment. BDSI will significantly reduce planned and unplanned downtime, as well as lower overall maintenance costs. The BDSI solution will provide better plans for maintenance downtime and therefore minimize business impact. For example, using BDSI solutions, activities can be performed during scheduled outages so maintenance operations aren’t interrupted more than once. BDSI will provide optimized, sustainable maintenance strategies that improve the performance, availability and reliability of production equipment.
