Condition Based Monitoring (CBM) is a type of mainmaintenance strategy that focuses on the condition of equipment rather than on predetermined time intervals. It involves the continuous monitoring of equipment to detect any changes in its condition that may indicate the need for maintenance or repair. This type of monitoring is used to identify problems before they become serious and can lead to costly repairs or replacements. It is also used to determine when maintenance or repair is necessary and when it is not. CBM is an important part of preventive maintenance, as it helps to reduce the amount of time and money spent on repairs and replacements. CBM also helps to ensure that equipment is operating at peak efficiency, as any issues can be identified and addressed quickly. By monitoring the condition of equipment, it is possible to reduce downtime and increase productivity.
