Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) addresses critical problems related to aircraft availability, logistics, strategic planning, maintenance and safety. We've designed the infographic below (click it to enlarge) in order to illustrate the benefits of CBM, which include reduced costs, increased availability and enhanced safety.
Honeywell's Health and Usage Monitoring System (HUMS) is a sensor-based monitoring system that enables Condition-Based Maintenance by measuring the health and performance of mission-critical components in aircraft. By continuously monitoring vibration at numerous points throughout the drivetrain, and pinpointing mechanical faults before they become catastrophic failures, HUMS provides actionable information that allows informed maintenance decisions.
