LRCM-EXAKT – a general solution

One might imagine that we can obtain practical improvement in maintenance performance quickly and inexpensively by concentrating on CBM technology for example, Oil Analysis. The supposition is reasonable but overlooks an obstacle that impedes verifiable and optimal CBM decision making … Continue reading

A survey of signal processing and decision technologies for CBM

Introduction Condition-based Maintenance recommends actions based on information acquired through observation and analysis. We note, moreover, that  the CBM process, itself contains three sub-processes or steps: data acquisiton, signal processing, and maintenance decision making.
