Life cycle support

Once in operation, the uptime of the equipment depends heavily on operator skills, how easily errors are detected, the right maintenance and the logistics for spare parts. The condition-based maintenance system (CBMS) is an excellent tool for this purpose. Its model-shaped algorithms combine operational and technical, OEM and sensor data about wear with ship management systems. The system can, for example, generate recommendations about preventive maintenance. There is a web portal so that all information can be accessed easily worldwide by all the partners, who can then combine OEM knowledge and operational knowledge and make optimal use of those costly assets, the dredgers.
