Condition-Based Maintenance

Condition-based maintenance uses real-time sensor data, vibration readings, accelerometers, and more, to monitor asset health and schedule maintenance only when it's actually needed.

How It Works

From Sensor to Decision

Vibration sensors and accelerometers installed on the assets you're monitoring feed real-time data, vibration, temperature, and other parameters, through your DCS, BAS, or SCADA system into the AVEVA PI System. From there, we set up data connectors over BACnet and Modbus, using data diodes where cyber protection calls for it.

The PI server stores that time-series data for historical analysis and trend tracking, organized around an asset framework built on the ASHRAE 223 Haystack Schema, so it's structured by asset type, location, and criticality. DSA also offers an AWS cloud option for secure storage and real-time access. Before any of it reaches analysis, the data gets cleaned: outliers removed, gaps filled, and readings aligned to the right asset.

Predictive Analytics

From Data to Decisions

Predictive Analytics

Machine learning models analyze sensor data to identify patterns and early signs of asset degradation or failure.

Thresholds and Alarms

When sensor data crosses a predefined threshold, the system alerts maintenance teams automatically.

Proactive Maintenance

Teams schedule maintenance based on what the data shows, not a fixed calendar, cutting unplanned downtime.

Cost Savings and Efficiency

Maintaining assets only when needed extends their lifespan and reduces both operational and maintenance costs.

Reporting and Decision Support

Dashboards and reports give stakeholders the information they need to make data-driven maintenance and asset decisions.

Rising time-based maintenance costs have opened the door to a better approach: using real-time sensor data and predictive algorithms to lower maintenance costs while keeping assets online and reliable.
