Rotational machines and drives represent the most ubiquitous item of equipment present in almost all branches of industry,
power engineering and transport. As such they contribute significantly to the maintenance costs which still represent sizeable
share in the EU economy estimated to 450 billion EUR/year of which about 70 billion EUR/year are estimated to be wasted through
ineffective maintenance. Downsizing the cost is becoming a must in order to keep the companies globally competitive. This requires
better use of IT support and integration of "information islands" within the enterprise via concept of e-maintenance.
Prognostics and health management (PHM), with on-line condition monitoring (CM), are key decision-support technologies in
e-maintenance system. In spite of significant advances in enabling technologies, no massive use of CM (and PHM in particular)
in industry has been witnessed so far. According to a review done in USA, only in 1% of the machinery the condition is monitored
automatically all the time!
In spite of obvious need for 'general purpose' PHM solutions that would be applicable to a broader range of operating machines
the customers are still rather sustained to implement them, primarily due to relatively high cost of implementation and cost of
ownership. The problems originate in
Fuelled by these challenges, the project will conduct basic and applied research leading to the following anticipated major results:
The immediate envisaged impact of the project:
