Traditional maintenance programs generate time-based maintenance tasks for both daily work and shutdown work. Condition-based maintenance is about managing the health of your assets and intervening when it’s necessary – not when a calendar tells you to.

Moving to condition-based maintenance (CBM) makes sense since it is a known fact that less than 20% of failures are based on the age of equipment. However, if the results from your CBM are scattered about the plant; separate databases, spreadsheets, clipboards, etc., then the value of CBM is diminished (ie if the data is not utilized to trigger the right work at the right time).

Ivara EXP software consolidates and analyzes multiple condition data points from dissimilar sources and recommends the right work to do based on current asset health. EXP also monitors the trend of an asset’s condition, but triggering the right work and understanding which assets and which maintenance tasks are the highest priorities based on risk to the business is critical to success and impacts the bottom line.
