A unified approach towards performance monitoring and condition-based maintenance in grinding machines

Condition Monitoring in Logistics – a New Approach for Maintenance

In modern times, far-reaching changes especially in production have taken place. Lean manufacturing systems require delivery strategies such as just-in-time or just-in-sequence that are synchronized with production demand to make sure the optimal amount of inventory is on hand at any time. This development comes along with both increasing dependence and cross-linking of inhouse-logistics system...

LabVIEW based Condition Monitoring of Induction Machines

This paper focuses on experimental results to prove that motor current signature analysis (MCSA) can diagnose shorted turns in low voltage stator windings of 3-phase induction motors using LabVIEW. The diagnostic strategy is presented and variables that influence the diagnosis are discussed. Current spectra from motors with short-circuited turns (with and without short circuit current limiting ...

Availability analysis of mechanical systems with condition-based maintenance using semi-Markov and evaluation of optimal condition monitoring interval

Maintenance helps to extend equipment life by improving its condition and avoiding catastrophic failures. Appropriate model or mechanism is, thus, needed to quantify system availability vis-a-vis a given maintenance strategy, which will assist in decision-making for optimal utilization of maintenance resources. This paper deals with semi-Markov process (SMP) modeling for steady state availabili...

Non-Intrusive Monitoring for Condition-Based Maintenance

The Navy’s Integrated Condition Assessment System (ICAS) is continuously evolving to meet the needs of today’s fleet as well as the requirements of future ship designs. This paper describes a technology known as the non-intrusive load monitor that could support the evolution of ICAS and other condition-based maintenance (CBM) systems. The non-intrusive load monitor (NILM) [8, 9, 10] can be used...
