Condition based maintenance (CBM) assumes that all equipment will deteriorate and that partial or complete loss of function will occur. CBM monitors the condition or performance of plant equipment through various technologies. The data is collected, analysed, and used to identify project equipment failures. Once the timing of equipment failure is known, action can be taken to prevent or delay failure. In this way, the reliability of the equipment can remain high.
