Condition monitoring systems make it possible to continuously and reliably monitor the technical “health and operating status” of plants, systems or buildings. The aim is to ensure production start-up, monitor production during operation and prevent downtime, e.g. due to component wear, by means of condition-based maintenance and by analysing faults and causes or by using predictions as a basis for decisions on measures to be taken.
The problem today: Sources and indicators of wear and tear are often only identified retrospectively, when the downtimes are already unavoidable and the costs have already been incurred.
