Condition Based Maintenance - CBM - Preventive Maintenance

Ekho CBM allows you to identify potential problems well before they turn into failures, unplanned equipment downtime, and production losses.

All of the relevant data can be brought together in Ekho CBM, including Vibration measurements, Thermographic readings and images, Oil Analysis reports, Visual Inspection reports and Machine Performance information.

By using Ekho CBM you can switch from a high cost, reactive operation with unplanned downtime, to a planned operation with fewer failures and production losses, lower maintenance costs and improved equipment performance.

Ekho’s unique asset architecture provides an unmatched solution for supporting Condition Based Maintenance initiatives - scalable and easily extendable.

• Generate Operational Intelligence (OI) from multiple, disparate data sources. Ekho provides the platform to bring all relevant information into one system, analyze it and contextualize it, and generate OI for operators, maintenance resources and management.
• Increase visibility into asset performance. Ekho CBM allows you to combine asset structure, history, and performance data with condition based measurements from Vibration Analysis, Oil Analysis, Thermography and Ultrasound, Non Destructive Testing, and Visual Inspections.
• Find the common problems. Combined with Ekho RCA, Ekho CBM can help identify trends across the entire organization and drill down to the component level, error type, and root cause.
• Alarms and notifications. Based on preset conditions, Ekho can be used to generate alarms and notifications or trigger work orders for inspections or repairs. Stay in the know with incident notifications, recommended due date reminders, and status updates on critical issues.
• Tailored to your organization. iTi and ABS Consulting will facilitate tailoring the software to meet your organization’s specific needs, minimizing the impact of deployment on your organization. No need to accept a one-size-fits-all approach.
• Continuing support during operations. Full training and on-call support for Ekho CBM is provided by iTi and ABS Consulting.
